Philips Semiconductors has introduced a new low voltage logic family optimized for high performance bus interface applications: AVC (Advanced Very low voltage CMOS). Operating with sub 2 ns propagation delays, AVC meets the demands of new digital systems that require low power consumption, very high bus speeds in excess of 100 MHz, and low noise. AVC is targeted for new high performance workstations, PCs, telecommunications equipment, and data communications equipment. New circuit techniques have been pioneered that give AVC unique properties. Optimized for 2.5V systems, AVC also operates at 3.3V and 1.8V to support mixed voltage systems. Dynamic Controlled Outputs, DCO™ , allow high switching speeds while changing the output impedance to reduce transmission line reflections. This eliminates the need for external series terminating resistors. AVC also features a power-off disable output circuit that isolates the outputs during power-down modes. This paper will provide designers better insight into this new family for use in their applications.
