ALVC family overview

With typical propagation delays of less than 3ns, ALVC devices are perfect for use in memory buffering, multiplexing, and for interfacing with 3.3V synchronous DRAMs. Furthermore, given a standard 24mA drive capability at 3.3V and a static power consumption of 40uA or less, ALVC is ideal for all types of low-power/low-voltage applications.

Another feature the ALVC family offers is the ability to directly interface with LVTTL levels. Additionally, ALVC devices are specified for operation from -40°C to 85°C, feature flow-through standard pin-out architecture, and exhibit low inductance, low noise, and low ground bounce properties.

The ALVC family also offers bus hold and damping resistors as options. This gives designers a wide variety of bus interface functions. This makes them especially attractive for 3V/5V mixed voltage designs.

NXP Semiconductors provides ALVC products that fulfill the PC100 logic interface requirements.
