Toshiba Expands Low Voltage Operation, Low Power Consumption LVP Series L-MOS Logic Series with Dual Buffer Logic Gates in Two 6-Pin Packages



Thin, Compact Packages for LVP L-MOS Series Offer Designers of Mobile Products Added Versatility With Smaller Mounting Area, Two Logic Gates, and 65 Percent Lower Power Consumption at 10MHz Operation

IRVINE, Calif., March 26 -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)* has expanded its family of low voltage operation, low power consumption LVP series L-MOS (one gate Logic ICs) with five dual logic gates in two thin, compact 6-pin packages. Developed by Toshiba Corp., the new LVP L-MOS devices feature high speed, low voltage drive and up to 65 percent lower power consumption(1) than the standard Toshiba VHS series. L-MOS are versatile components used to optimize circuit design in a wide range of portable electronics such as cell phones, PDAs, audio players and notebook PCs.

The 6-pin LVP series supports a range of input voltage up to 5V so that the logic ICs can comply with a variety of systems, including those with more than one operating voltage. Designers can choose from two compact packages depending on board space requirements. The two package options include the ES6, measuring 1.6mm x 1.6mm x 0.55mm, and US6, measuring 2.1mm x 2.0mm x 0.9mm. The LVP L-MOS family supports Lead(Pb)-Free(2), and ROHS-Compatible(3) requirements.

"The new LVP logic series continues the L-MOS logic innovations initially pioneered by Toshiba more than a decade ago," said Homayoun Ghani, business development manager, microwave, RF and small signal products for TAEC. "Its low operating voltage, high speed driving, reduced power consumption and smaller packages provide additional options for circuit design and optimization of cellular phones, hand-held systems and portable media players."

(1) At 10MHz . For purposes of measuring frequency in this context, one Megahertz = 1,000,000 cycles per second.

(2) Toshiba defines "Lead(Pb)-Free" in accordance with current industry standards as no more than 0.1 percent lead(Pb) by weight in Homogenous Materials(4). This does not mean that Toshiba products that are labeled "Lead(Pb)-Free" are entirely free of lead(Pb).

(3) Toshiba Semiconductor Company defines "RoHS-Compatible" semiconductor products as products that either (i) contain no more than a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and no more than 0.01% by weight in homogenous materials for cadmium; or (ii) fall within one of the stated exemptions set forth in the Annex to the RoHS Directive(5).

(4) Homogeneous Materials -- Toshiba Corporation Semiconductor Company Ltd. defines "Homogeneous Materials" to mean a material that cannot be mechanically disjointed into different materials. The term "homogeneous" is understood as "of uniform composition throughout," so examples of "Homogeneous Materials" would be individual types of plastics, ceramics, glass, metals, alloys, paper, board, resins and coatings. Toshiba Corporation Semiconductor Company defines the term "mechanically disjointed" to mean that the materials can, in principle, be separated by mechanical actions such as unscrewing, cutting, crushing, grinding or abrasive processes.

(5) Toshiba Semiconductor Company defines the "RoHS Directive" as the Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
