Product details
Overview
74AHC3GU04DP,125 from Nexperia is a triple unbuffered CMOS inverter IC with overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), operating across 2.0–5.5 V supply, delivering balanced propagation delays (≤7.0 ns at 5 V/50 pF), and rated for -40 °C to +125 °C ambient. It serves as a level translator and signal inverter in mixed-voltage logic interfaces and oscillator circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC3GU04DP,125 datasheet, 74AHC3GU04DP,125 pinout, 74AHC3GU04DP,125 application, or 74AHC3GU04DP,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include input overvoltage tolerance, propagation delay vs. load capacitance, output drive capability (±8 mA), and TSSOP8 thermal derating behavior above 96 °C.
Technical Context
This device implements three independent unbuffered inverter gates using advanced AHC CMOS technology, enabling rail-to-rail output swing and symmetrical rise/fall times. Its unbuffered architecture provides low input capacitance (3.0 pF typical) and supports linear-mode operation for crystal oscillator and amplifier applications.
Input clamping and ESD protection meet ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 Class 2 (>2000 V HBM) and JS-002 Class C3 (>1000 V CDM). Latch-up immunity exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level A, ensuring robustness in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection of 5 V signals into 3.3 V or 2.5 V systems |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | ≤7.0 ns at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures timing integrity in high-speed digital control paths |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or small capacitive traces |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor controllers |
| Input Capacitance (CI) | 3.0 pF typical - minimizes loading on preceding stage and preserves signal edge rate |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | 4 pF per buffer - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP8 package (SOT505-2): plastic thin shrink small outline, 8 leads, 3 mm body width, 0.5 mm lead length, 0.65 mm pitch. Thermal derating: 4.6 mW/K above 96 °C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 6 | 1A / 2A / 3A | Independent logic inputs - each drives one unbuffered inverter stage |
| 7, 5, 2 | 1Y / 2Y / 3Y | Corresponding inverted outputs - no internal buffering; output impedance matches input |
| 4 | GND | Reference ground plane - must be low-impedance for noise immunity and stable switching thresholds |
| 8 | VCC | Single supply rail - powers all three gates; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical output impedance | Enables matched rise/fall times and reduces duty cycle distortion in clock distribution |
| Balanced propagation delays | Ensures consistent timing across all three channels - critical for multi-phase control logic |
| CMOS low power dissipation | ICC ≤ 40 μA at VCC = 5.5 V - supports battery-powered sensor nodes and always-on subsystems |
| High noise immunity | VIL ≤ 1.1 V and VIH ≥ 4.4 V at VCC = 5.5 V - rejects >30% supply noise on inputs |
| Linear-mode capability | Configurable as crystal oscillator amplifier (Fig. 10) or low-gain linear amplifier (Fig. 9) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unbuffered inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AUP3G04DCUR | Lower VCC range (0.8–3.6 V); higher input capacitance (5.5 pF); 1.8 V optimized | Not suitable for 5 V mixed-voltage translation; limited to ultra-low-power 1.8 V systems | Select only when supply is strictly ≤3.6 V and sub-1 μA ICC is mandatory |
| 74LVC3G04GW,125 | Same TSSOP8 package; lower overvoltage tolerance (VI max = 5.5 V but not guaranteed overvoltage-safe); higher IOH (±24 mA) | Acceptable for pure 3.3 V systems but risks latch-up if 5 V inputs exceed VCC + 0.5 V | Prefer when driving heavier capacitive loads (>100 pF) and 5 V input exposure is fully prevented |
Compared with SN74AUP3G04DCUR and 74LVC3G04GW,125, the 74AHC3GU04DP,125 uniquely combines 5.5 V overvoltage-tolerant inputs with full -40 °C to +125 °C qualification and predictable unbuffered delay-making it the only choice for mixed-voltage industrial timing and oscillator designs requiring guaranteed robustness.

FAQ
Can the 74AHC3GU04DP,125 be used in linear amplifier mode?
Yes. Per Figure 9 in the datasheet, it operates as a linear amplifier with open-loop gain ~20 and unity-gain bandwidth ~5 MHz when biased with feedback resistors (R1 ≥ 3 kΩ, R2 ≤ 1 MΩ) and load impedance >10 kΩ. Output swing is centered at 0.5 × VCC with peak-to-peak amplitude up to VCC − 1.5 V.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The device is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance with guaranteed tpd ≤ 7.0 ns at VCC = 5.0 V. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause ringing; for >100 pF loads, add series termination or use a buffered driver like 74AHC3G14.
Does the 74AHC3GU04DP,125 support hot insertion in live backplanes?
No. While inputs tolerate 5.5 V statically, the device lacks bus-hold or Ioff protection. Hot insertion may cause transient current surges exceeding ±20 mA clamping limits, risking latch-up. Use dedicated hot-swap buffers (e.g., NX3DV384) for live-backplane applications.
How does thermal derating affect power handling in TSSOP8 package?
For SOT505-2 (TSSOP8), total power dissipation derates linearly at 4.6 mW/K above 96 °C ambient. At 125 °C, Ptot drops to ~120 mW from the 250 mW rating at 25 °C. PCB copper area and airflow must be designed to maintain junction temperature ≤150 °C under worst-case load.
