The AUP family is TI's premier solution to the industry's low-power needs in battery-powered portable applications. This family ensures a very low static- and dynamic-power consumption across the entire VCC range of 0.8 V to 3.6 V, resulting in an increased battery life. This product also maintains excellent signal integrity. This device functions as an independent gate with Schmitt-trigger inputs, which allows for slow input transition and better switching noise immunity at the input. This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down.
