Product Overview

C5: 0.5 µm Process Technology

Product Description
Optimized for 5 V mixed-signal applications, the C5 process family from ON Semiconductor offers a medium-density, high-performance mixed-signal technology capable of integrating complex analog functions, digital content and 20 V capability. This process delivers the advantages of a dedicated mixed-signal 0.5 µm process without the costs associated with the extra mask steps of a BCD process. Low-voltage transistors are also available for the 0.5 µm process making it well-suited for low-power applications.
