Introducing the HCS Family: a portfolio of logic designed for noise-sensitive, low-power and rugged applications
The HCS family simplifies product design with a portfolio of multigate logic solutions designed to address noise and power concerns by integrating Schmitt-trigger capability on every data inputs. This integration improves efficiency not just by eliminating the need for external signal buffering but also by directly reducing power requirements for a system’s logic implementation. The HCS family consumes 95% less power than its equivalent HC logic function, making the HCS logic devices well suited for battery-powered designs.
The HCS family improves signal integrity with a 40% improvement in propagation delay and a 50% higher current drive compared to HC equivalent devices. The HCS family is pin-to-pin, drop-in compatible with the HC logic family, making it easy to update your design and meet the demands of today’s applications.
