Diodes Incorporateda?s High Speed Logic Family Provides Performance Upgrade

DALLAS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic and analog semiconductor markets, today has introduced a complete family of advanced high speed CMOS logic devices offering power dissipation and switching speed improvements over existing high speed CMOS logic alternatives. Operating at 2.0V to 5.5V, the 74AHC1Gxx logic family is a drop-in replacement for industry standard logic parts used in broad array of consumer electronic products, including control systems for appliances, computing, and networking applications.

The product family includes AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, inversion and buffering functions, as well as Diodes first unbuffered single inverter device. All ten logic functions are offered in SOT25 and SOT353 package options. As single gate solutions, the devices provide the logic function at point-of-application, helping to simplify routing and optimizing use of board space.

Diodesa� advanced high speed CMOS logic family is a low power alternative for system designs operating at between 3.3V to 5.5V. The devicesa� dynamic switching power has been reduced by optimizing the output drive capability at +/-8mA, while still ensuring typical propagation delays of 6ns. The low power 74AHC1Gxx logic family complements Diodesa� existing faster switching 74LVC1Gxx logic family. For further information, visit the Companya�s website at [ www.diodes.com ].
