TI Introduces World's First 1.8V Logic Family for Portab= le Consumer Electronics, Telecommunications and Computing=1DFamily Extends = Battery Life, Simplifies Design Process, and Increases Data Throughput DA= LLAS, Oct 19, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN)= (TI) today introduced a new logic family, Advanced Ultra-Low Voltage CMOS = (AUC) which are optimized at 1.8-V but are operational to sub 1-V levels. T= he AUC family provides significant benefits to portable consumer electronic= s, computing and telecom applications by operating at low power and high sp= eed while maintaining overall system signal integrity. (See www.ti.com/sc/a= uc ) The family consists of Little Logic (single/dual/triple gates), octa= ls and WideBus(tm) devices. All devices are optimized at 1.8-V, and have an= operating voltage range of 0.8-V to 2.5-V. With a voltage tolerance of 3.6= V, AUC extends the life of systems by allowing legacy devices to remain fun= ctional. In addition, the sub-1-V feature allows AUC to be operated by a si= ngle cell battery. AUC also includes Ioff, which protects the device by sup= porting partial power down applications. TI has been working closely with= Philips and IDT to develop the specifications for the new AUC family. Init= ially, TI will release Little Logic and Philips will offer an alternate sou= rce. Subsequently, in 2002, IDT, Philips, and TI will release Octals and Wi= deBus devices. Based on this collaboration, alternate source agreements are= in place. "TI continues to take the logic market into new areas by devel= oping leading technologies and innovative products. The introduction of the= new AUC family enables customers to gain higher performance as they move t= o the lower voltage node DSPs and high-performance analog ICs," said David = Hoover, worldwide product marketing manager for TI's Standard Linear and Lo= gic Products. "In addition, optimizing the family at 1.8-V extends battery = life while also speeding up data throughput in the system." Little Logic = AUC The AUC family is available in single/dual/triple gate devices for po= rtable consumer electronics. Consistent with the family, the Little Logic A= UC devices are optimized at 1.8-V, while maintaining high speed and low noi= se. Essential to the success of portable consumer applications, the devices= extend battery life while maintaining very good signal integrity. The Litt= le Logic devices will be available in various packaging options, including = NanoStar(tm) packaging, the world's smallest logic package. "Philips' foc= us on providing leading Pico Gate solutions for the consumer, networking, a= nd communications markets makes the alternate source agreement for AUC tech= nology a perfect match," said Bruce Potvin, director of marketing logic pro= ducts. "Working with TI, we are able to deliver a true alternate source for= AUC Little Logic devices that offer high-performance, industry leading sol= utions." Widebus/Octal AUC For telecommunications and computing applica= tions, the AUC family of devices offer high speed data throughput and enhan= ced signal integrity that is critical to performance. Speed for the Widebus= devices is a very fast, 1.5ns- 2.0ns (typical). The 1.8-V provides a logic= migration for lower operating voltages, and simplifies the system design l= earning curve. "The AUC family enhances IDT's high-performance low voltag= e logic portfolio by enabling us to keep pace with the industry, as custome= rs migrate to lower operating nodes," said Kevin Walsh, director of strateg= ic marketing for IDT's Timing and Logic Division. "As a company strongly fo= cused on communications, we believe it is important to use our digital desi= gn expertise to be a leader in product innovation. By collaborating with TI= and others, we ensure that these next-generation devices will provide the = necessary performance, nodes of operation, and feature set for our networki= ng and communications customer base." Availability, Packaging and Pricing= The first Little Logic devices in the AUC family are sampling now with v= olume production scheduled for the first quarter of 2002. Estimated resale = pricing for the Little Logic devices begins at $0.18 for quantities greater= than 1,000. Devices in Little Logic are available in NanoStar packaging, S= C-70 (DCK), and SOT23 (DBV). AUC NanoStar will be available in 1H 2002. Wid= eBus and Octal devices are available in 2Q02. The AUC family is fully suppo= rted with technical documentation.
