TI Introduces World's First 1.8V Logic Family for Portable Consumer Electronics, Telecommunications and ComputingFamily Extends Battery Life, Simplifies Design Process, and Increases Data Throughput   DALLAS, 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. 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. (See www.ti.com/sc/auc )   The family consists of Little Logic (single/dual/triple gates), octals 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 3.6V, AUC extends the life of systems by allowing legacy devices to remain functional. In addition, the sub-1-V 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 alternate source. Subsequently, in 2002, IDT, Philips, and TI will release Octals and WideBus devices. Based on this collaboration, alternate source agreements are in place.   "TI continues to take the logic market into new areas by developing leading technologies and innovative products. The introduction of the new AUC family enables customers to gain higher performance as they move to the lower voltage node DSPs and high-performance analog ICs," said David Hoover, worldwide product marketing manager for TI's Standard Linear and Logic 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 portable consumer electronics. Consistent with the family, the Little Logic AUC devices are optimized at 1.8-V, 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(tm) packaging, the world's smallest logic package.   "Philips' focus on providing leading Pico Gate solutions for the consumer, networking, and communications markets makes the alternate source agreement for AUC technology a perfect match," said Bruce Potvin, director of marketing logic products. "Working with TI, we are able to deliver a true alternate source for AUC Little Logic devices that offer high-performance, industry leading solutions."   Widebus/Octal AUC   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, 1.5ns- 2.0ns (typical). The 1.8-V provides a logic migration for lower operating voltages, and simplifies the system design learning curve.   "The AUC family enhances IDT's high-performance low voltage logic portfolio by enabling us to keep pace with the industry, as customers migrate to lower operating nodes," said Kevin Walsh, director of strategic marketing for IDT's Timing and Logic Division. "As a company strongly focused on communications, we believe it is important to use our digital design 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 networking and communications customer base."   Availability, Packaging and Pricing   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 1,000. 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.
