NC7WP240L8X

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The NC7WP240L8X is a dual inverting buffer with independent active-low enables for three-state outputs, designed for ultra-low power consumption. It operates within a supply voltage range of 0.9V to 3.6V and features 3.6V overvoltage tolerant I/Os. The device utilizes advanced CMOS technology to achieve optimized speed while maintaining extremely low static and dynamic power dissipation. Propagation delay varies from 3.0 ns at 3.6V to 26.0 ns at 0.9V. Static drive current ranges from ±2.6 mA at 3.0V down to ±20 µA at 0.9V.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin as Fairchild Semiconductor or onsemi, noting that onsemi acquired Fairchild's logic business. Confirm the package type matches the L8X suffix (8-Lead MicroPak) rather than K8X (US8). Ensure RoHS compliance and check for specific lot traceability requirements if applicable to your manufacturing process.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when minimizing power consumption is critical, particularly in low-voltage environments between 0.9V and 3.6V. It is appropriate for designs needing three-state control with independent enables. Consider the propagation delay variations across the voltage range when determining signal integrity requirements for your specific clock frequencies.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the TinyLogic ULP series, characterized by ultra-low power performance. It is distinct from the standard UHS series by its focus on extending battery life through reduced static and dynamic power dissipation. The NC7WP240 specifically provides dual inverting buffering functionality within this low-power family.
