HCMOS - Variations

Variations

  • HCT stands for high-speed CMOS with transistor–transistor logic voltages. These devices are similar to the HCMOS types except they will operate at standard TTL power supply voltages and logic input levels. This allows for direct pin-to-pin compatible CMOS replacements to reduce power consumption without loss of speed.
  • HCU stands for high-speed CMOS un-buffered. This type of CMOS contains no buffer and is ideal for crystals and other ceramic oscillators needing linearity.
  • VHCMOS, or AHC, stands for very high-speed CMOS or advanced high-speed CMOS. Typical propagation delay time is between 3 ns and 4 ns. The speed is similar to Bipolar Schottky transistor TTL.
  • AHCT stands for advanced high-speed CMOS with TTL inputs. Typical propagation delay time is between 5 ns and 6 ns.

Famous quotes containing the word variations:

    I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.
    Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
