With today's market demanding sustained 5-V operation and increased support at 3.3-V and 1.8-V Vcc levels, TI's Little Logic product portfolio continues to grow faster and smaller than ever before. Along with this increase in product family technologies, next-generation wafer chip scale packaging (WCSP) has been introduced to meet the space-constrained applications of portable consumer electronics.

Product Technologies

No matter what voltage you require for your single, dual, or triple gate (1G/2G/3G) applications, TI Little Logic has your solution. Voltage range operating levels from 5.5-V all the way down to sub 1-V Vcc can be utilized with AHC/AHCT (5-V), LVC (3.3-V), AUP (3.3-V), and AUC (1.8-V) product families (see Table 1). If your design requires signal switching, then look no further than TI's CBT bus switches and AUC/LVC analog switches. Devices with voltage translation and configurable multiple functions are also available in the TI Little Logic portfolio.

Packaging

Texas Instruments offers Little Logic devices in a variety of 5, 6, and 8-pin packages. Depending on your design constraints, you can choose from the standard plastic, leadframe packages or choose the world's smallest logic packages available today, NanoStar™ and NanoFree™.

As portable consumer electronic products continue to decrease in size and require advancements in semiconductor process technology, IC packaging must answer the demand for real estate and increased performance. NanoStar™ and NanoFree™ devices provide the needed solution by offering a package that is 70% smaller than the 5-pin SC-70 and 13% smaller than any other logic package available today. Both share the same package dimensions with the only difference being their solder bump composition. NanoFree™ provides an environmental friendly Pb-free alternative.

The More we Grow the Smaller we Get

Whether you are looking to optimize your circuit routing, maximize board space, or implement a quick fix on your ASIC design, TI is committed to deliver a product portfolio that will meet your design needs. TI Little Logic continues to add new product families and advanced packaging to meet the ever-changing market demands, which goes to show that the more we grow the smaller we get.
