PicoGate and MicroPak are logical solutions for miniaturization, addressing design issues such as board-space savings, faster time-to-market, simpler PCB routing, reduced ASIC chip size, and voltage translation. They offer popular functions for a wide range of applications and enable faster time-to-market, simpler layouts, and better selection.
PicoGate and MicroPak are logic devices designed for extreme miniaturization, offering board‑space savings, ASIC fixes, glue logic, and voltage translation from 1‑to‑3.3 V. They target a wide range of applications such as laptops, mobile phones, portable media players, set‑top boxes, cameras, disk drives, and high‑temperature automotive and military equipment.
The portfolio includes HC/T, AHC/T, LVC, AUC, and AUP families, each optimized for specific voltage ranges and power consumption. Devices are offered in 5‑, 6‑, and 8‑pin SOT packages (e.g., SOT753, SOT363, SOT891) and support operation from –40 °C to +15 °C. Function tables list single‑, dual‑, and triple‑gate options, as well as buffers, multiplexers, and flip‑flops, providing flexible design choices and the ability to replace up to four discrete components.
| Operating temperature range | -40 °C to +15 °C |
|---|---|
| Voltage translation range | 1 V to 3.3 V |
| HC/T family operating voltage | 5 V |
They are specified for operation from –40 °C to +15 °C.
The devices provide voltage translation from 1 V up to 3.3 V and include families that operate from 1 V to 6 V or are 5‑V‑tolerant up to 5.5 V.
