Heading: TTL vs. CMOS: Logic Gate Selection for Digital Designs
Transistor logic gates form the backbone of digital circuits. TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) gates, like the 74HC series, offer fast switching speeds (4–10ns) but consume more power. CMOS (Complementary MOS) gates, such as the 4000 series, provide lower static power dissipation and wider voltage ranges (1.2V–5.5V).
SACOH’s logic gates are available in both technologies, with automotive-grade options (AEC-Q100) for harsh environments. A client in the automation sector reduced their power budget by 40% by migrating to SACOH’s CMOS gates.
