Logic devices drop under a volt

ON Semiconductor has expanded its 100-plus MiniGate portfolio with a series of new sub-1V logic devices in tiny SOT-553 packaging.

ON Semiconductor has expanded its 100-plus MiniGate portfolio with a series of new sub-1V logic devices in tiny SOT-553 packaging.

Delivering operating voltages of 0.9 to 3.6V and ultralow propagation delay time as low as 1.5ns, these devices are ideal for portable and consumer electronics applications such as cellphones, MP3/MPEG-4 players and portable video equipment.

"Our customers are demanding ultralow operating voltage, for low power consumption and are unwilling to sacrifice speed or drive characteristics", said Dan Huettl, ON Semiconductor Director of Standard Logic Products.

"The small footprint leaded package of the NL17SVxxXVT52 devices enables the use of the same visual/mechanical inspection equipment set that nearly all manufacturers currently have in place, without sacrificing speed, drive, small size or ease of assembly".

ON Semiconductor is the first supplier to introduce logic gates with both sub-1V operating voltage and high-speed performance in the industry's smallest leaded logic gate package.

The new NL17SVxxXV5T2 single gate sub-1V family is available in the five-leaded SOT-553 surface mount package.

All six of the newly released devices are fully specified to operate as low as 0.9V.

The SOT-553 package - which measures only 1.6 x 1.6 x 0.6mm - offers the smallest footprint of any 1.0V logic family in a leaded package.

The SV family offers a wide operating voltage (0.9 to 3.6V), extremely small propagation delay of less than 2.0ns at 3.0V.

The devices deliver a very strong drive capability (+/-24mA at 3.3V) and are lead (Pb) free.

The devices are priced at $0.14 per unit in 10,000 unit quantities.
