I've just encountered some datasheets for parts
that I've never heard of
before -- 74ABTxxx parts. The lack of a "C" in there would seem to indicate
TTL of some sort but looking at the datasheet the power supply current would
seem to indicate CMOS of some sort, it's in the uA range.
BiCMOS - a hybrid technology of CMOS and bipolar.
Anybody ever encountered these before?
Another TI bit of weirdness, but they actually sold this successfully.
What can you tell me about them if so?
I note that packaging seems to be _only_ surface-mount styles.
I am pretty sure I have seen it in DIP (I may have some), but DIPs
started to die just when BiCMOS was coming out.
