Edited by the Electronicstalk Editorial Team on 23 October 2001
Logic family runs from sub-1V supplies
New from Texas Instruments the Advanced Ultra-Low Voltage CMOS (AUC) logic family is optimised for 1.8V operation, but runs at sub-1V levels
The AUC family provides significant benefits to portable consumer electronics, computing and telecom applications by operating at low power and high speed while maintaining overall system signal integrity. The family consists of Little Logic (single/dual/triple gates), octals and WideBus devices.

All devices are optimised at 1.8V, and have an operating voltage range of 0.8 to 2.5V.
With a voltage tolerance of 3.6V, AUC extends the life of systems by allowing legacy devices to remain functional.
In addition, the sub-1V feature allows AUC to be operated by a single-cell battery.

AUC also includes Ioff, which protects the device by supporting partial power down applications.
TI has been working closely with Philips and IDT to develop the specifications for the new AUC family.
Initially, TI will release Little Logic and Philips will offer an alternative source.
Subsequently, in 2002, IDT, Philips, and TI will release octals and WideBus devices.
Based on this collaboration, alternate source agreements are in place.
The AUC family is available in single/dual/triple gate devices for portable consumer electronics.
Consistent with the family, the Little Logic AUC devices are optimised at 1.8V, while maintaining high speed and low noise.
Essential to the success of portable consumer applications, the devices extend battery life while maintaining very good signal integrity.
The Little Logic devices will be available in various packaging options, including NanoStar packaging, the world's smallest logic package.
For telecommunications and computing applications, the AUC family of devices offer high-speed data throughput and enhanced signal integrity that is critical to performance.
Speed for the WideBus devices is a very fast, 1.5-2.0ns (typical).
The 1.8V provides a logic migration for lower operating voltages, and simplifies the system design learning curve.
The first Little Logic devices in the AUC family are sampling now with volume production scheduled for the first quarter of 2002.
Estimated resale pricing for the Little Logic devices begins at $0.18 for quantities greater than 1000.
Devices in Little Logic are available in NanoStar packaging, SC-70 (DCK), and SOT23 (DBV).
AUC NanoStar will be available in 1H 2002.
WideBus and Octal devices are available in 2Q02.
The AUC family is fully supported with technical documentation.
