Diodes Inc. has extended its advanced ultra-low power CMOS logic family, with the introduction of dual-gate devices in the miniature, leadless 8-pin DFN1210 package. The latest 74AUP2G logic devices help extend battery cell life in a variety of super slim, next-generation portable products, such as smart phones and tablets, by supporting low-voltage, low-power system design.

Operating over a 0.8 V to 3.6 V supply voltage range, these new parts support extremely low system voltages while delivering a standard ±4 mA output. With quiescent current less than 0.9 µA, static power consumption is low, while the typical CPD rating of 6 pF at 3.6 V reduces dynamic power consumption.

Seven dual gate logic functions are offered: AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR and a choice of two tri-state buffers. With a footprint of only 1.2 mm x 1.0 mm and a height of just 0.35 mm, the DFN1210 format is one of the world's smallest 8-pin packages.

The miniature-packaged parts are designed to complement Diodes' previously released 74AUP2G 6-pin dual-gate and 74AUP1G single-gate advanced ultra-low power logic. The latest 8-pad logic devices are priced at $0.12 USD each in 5k single reel quantities.
