Product details
Overview
74AHC04PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade hex inverter IC with CMOS input levels, 14-pin TSSOP package, -40 °C to +125 °C operating range, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification. It delivers six independent inverting buffers for signal polarity reversal in powertrain control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC04PW-Q100 datasheet, 74AHC04PW-Q100 pinout, 74AHC04PW-Q100 application, or 74AHC04PW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay (≤7.0 ns at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF), output drive capability (±8 mA), input voltage tolerance beyond VCC, balanced tPLH/tPHL timing, and automotive-qualified thermal derating behavior.
Technical Context
This device implements six independent CMOS inverter stages in a single monolithic Si-gate structure, compatible with LSTTL logic levels on input (for AHCT variant) or full-rail CMOS input thresholds (for AHC variant). Its architecture ensures matched rise/fall propagation delays and rail-to-rail output swing under load.
Designed for automotive environments, it integrates ESD protection per JS-001 (HBM >2000 V) and JS-002 (CDM >1000 V), supports supply voltages from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, and maintains stable VIH/VIL thresholds across temperature extremes (-40 °C to +125 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Six independent inverters; each provides true logic inversion with no internal feedback or latching. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V; enables interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤7.0 ns (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF); ensures sub-10 ns timing margin for high-speed digital control loops. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V; sufficient to drive multiple CMOS inputs or moderate capacitive loads directly. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | VI up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC; allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage signals or open-drain pull-ups. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 qualified (-40 °C to +125 °C); certified for engine bay and transmission control applications. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V; meets automotive robustness requirements for assembly and field operation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT402-1); 14 leads; body width 4.4 mm; 0.65 mm lead pitch; exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Input (1A–6A) | Dedicated CMOS-compatible input terminals; accept voltages up to 7.0 V independent of VCC. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Output (1Y–6Y) | Inverted logic outputs; capable of sourcing/sinking ±8 mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.55 V and VOH ≥ 3.70 V. |
| 7 | GND | Primary ground reference; all internal logic and I/O referenced to this node. |
| 14 | VCC | Single positive supply rail; powers all six inverters and internal bias circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance ensures reliability in under-hood and chassis-mounted ECUs. |
| Balanced propagation delays | tPLH and tPHL match within 0.5 ns typical; critical for clock inversion and synchronous signal conditioning. |
| Input overvoltage tolerance | Inputs withstand up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC setting; eliminates need for external clamping diodes. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 13.5 pF; minimizes switching current in high-frequency control paths (e.g., PWM gate drivers). |
| Thermal-enhanced packaging | TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) offers 7.3 mW/K derating above 81 °C; supports sustained operation in hot ambient zones. |
Applications
| Powertrain Control Unit | Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Inverting camshaft position sensor signals before feeding into microcontroller capture timers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal polarity correction and noise-immune buffering of 5 V square-wave timing pulses.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT04PW-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); slightly higher propagation delay (≤8.5 ns @ 5 V, 15 pF). | Better suited for legacy 5 V TTL system integration where input threshold matching is required. | Select when interfacing with older microcontrollers or logic families with non-CMOS input thresholds. |
| SN74LVC04APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher ICC leakage (max 40 μA vs. 20 μA); no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Limited to industrial or consumer applications; unsuitable for safety-critical automotive deployment. | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring wider supply flexibility below 2.0 V. |
Compared with 74AHCT04PW-Q100, the 74AHC04PW-Q100 offers tighter input threshold control and lower propagation delay, while SN74LVC04APWR trades automotive qualification for broader low-voltage operation - making the AHC variant optimal for new AEC-Q100-compliant 3.3 V/5 V mixed-signal subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for 74AHC04PW-Q100?
The absolute maximum input voltage is +7.0 V, irrespective of VCC level. This overvoltage tolerance allows safe connection to higher-voltage nodes (e.g., 5 V buses driving 3.3 V logic) without external protection components, provided input current remains within ±20 mA limits per IEC 60134.
Can 74AHC04PW-Q100 operate at 2.5 V supply?
Yes - the device is fully specified from 2.0 V to 5.5 V. At 2.5 V, VIH is guaranteed ≥1.75 V and VOL ≤0.44 V (at 4 mA load), supporting reliable interfacing with 2.5 V microcontrollers and enabling mixed-voltage board designs without level shifters.
Does the TSSOP14 package require soldering the exposed pad?
No - the thermal pad in SOT402-1 has no electrical function and requires no solder connection. If soldered, it must remain electrically floating or tied to GND; improper grounding may cause latch-up or parametric shifts due to parasitic coupling.
How does propagation delay vary with temperature and load capacitance?
At VCC = 5.0 V and CL = 15 pF, tpd increases from 3.0 ns (typ) at 25 °C to 7.0 ns (max) at +125 °C. With CL = 50 pF, max delay rises to 9.5 ns at +125 °C. These values are measured using defined test conditions (VM = 0.5 × VCC) and reflect worst-case timing for synchronous design margining.
