Overview

Broad portfolio of onsemi standard logic devices enables reliable digital control, signal conditioning, and interfacing across industrial, automotive, computing, and consumer systems. Built on proven logic families, including Metal Gate, AC, ACT, HC, HCT, LCX, LVX, VHC, and VHCT - these devices let designers optimize for speed, power consumption, voltage compatibility, and long product lifecycles. The portfolio spans essential logic building blocks such as logic gates, buffers, latches, registers, flip‑flops, multiplexers, arithmetic logic functions, bus switches, bus transceivers, level translators, and analog switches. Together, these devices provide the “digital glue” needed to implement deterministic hardware control, improve signal integrity, manage mixed‑voltage interfaces, and reduce system complexity. These Logic devices can be used across all market spaces and end equipment types including industrial automation, smart meters, power tools, automotive electronics, and infrastructure, where reliability, availability, and long‑term support are critical.
