Product details
Overview
74AHCT3G04DC-Q100 from Nexperia is a triple inverter IC with TTL-compatible input thresholds, 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range, -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature, overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive powertrain and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT3G04DC-Q100 datasheet, 74AHCT3G04DC-Q100 pinout, 74AHCT3G04DC-Q100 application, or 74AHCT3G04DC-Q100 equivalent, this device supports voltage-level translation between 3.3 V logic domains and 5 V microcontrollers while maintaining robust noise immunity and symmetrical output drive in space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements three independent CMOS-based inverting buffers with TTL input switching levels (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5 V logic without level shifters. Each gate delivers matched propagation delays (tpd = 3.4–8.5 ns) across load capacitances of 15 pF to 50 pF.
Its overvoltage-tolerant inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, supporting mixed-voltage signal routing in ECUs where 3.3 V MCUs communicate with 5 V sensors or actuators. The VSSOP8 package (SOT765-1) provides 2.3 mm body width and 0.65 mm pitch for high-density placement near microcontroller GPIO banks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Triple independent inverter (NOT gate); enables signal polarity correction and fanout expansion in digital control paths. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across automotive battery transients (e.g., cold-crank down to 4.5 V). |
| Input Thresholds | TTL-compatible: VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - guarantees reliable recognition of 5 V logic signals when driven by legacy peripherals. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.4 ns (typ, CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V) - supports timing-critical signal inversion in CAN/LIN interface handshaking and reset synchronization. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive multiple 74-series inputs or small capacitive loads (<50 pF) without external buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - validated for under-hood and transmission-control module environments per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - withstands assembly handling and in-system electrostatic events in production and field service. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP8 plastic very thin shrink small outline package (SOT765-1); 8 leads; body width 2.3 mm; 0.65 mm lead pitch; pin 1 indicator located below marking code in lower-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 6 | Input (1A, 2A, 3A) | Three independent logic inputs accepting 0–5.5 V; tolerant of overvoltage during hot-swap or bus contention. |
| 2, 5, 7 | Output (3Y, 2Y, 1Y) | Inverted outputs with symmetrical rise/fall times; capable of sourcing/sinking 8 mA for driving downstream logic or LEDs. |
| 4 | GND | Dedicated ground reference for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 8 | VCC | Single positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V); powers all three gates and internal bias networks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including thermal cycling and humidity testing. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts up to 5.5 V on any input pin regardless of VCC - enables safe interfacing with higher-voltage subsystems without clamping diodes. |
| Symmetrical output impedance | Matched pull-up/pull-down strength ensures consistent rise/fall times and reduced signal distortion in bidirectional control lines. |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis and TTL thresholds reject common-mode noise up to ±0.4 V on 5 V buses in electrically noisy engine compartments. |
| Low static current | ICC ≤ 40 μA at VCC = 5.5 V - minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on vehicle modules like door controllers. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit Signal Conditioning | Body Control Module Reset Logic |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHC3G04DC-Q100 | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.85 V @ VCC = 5.5 V); wider 2.0–5.5 V supply range. | Better suited for mixed 3.3 V/5 V systems where input signals originate from CMOS sources. | Select when interfacing with 3.3 V MCUs driving 5 V peripherals - avoids marginal input recognition at VCC = 3.3 V. |
| SN74LVC3G04DCURQ1 | TTL thresholds; 1.65–5.5 V supply; lower ICC (10 μA typ); smaller X2SON-8 package (1.3 × 1.4 mm). | Optimized for ultra-low-power infotainment modules with tight thermal constraints. | Choose for space-constrained, battery-sensitive applications where 1.65 V minimum VCC enables earlier power-up sequencing. |
Compared with 74AHCT3G04DC-Q100, the AHC variant offers broader supply flexibility but requires higher input voltage margins, while the LVC variant reduces footprint and static power at the cost of lower latch-up immunity and narrower automotive temperature validation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74AHCT3G04DC-Q100 can tolerate?
The device supports overvoltage-tolerant inputs rated up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, allowing safe operation when interfacing with 5 V signals even when powered from 4.5 V. This capability eliminates external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage automotive signal chains and is verified per datasheet Table 5 limiting values.
Can the 74AHCT3G04DC-Q100 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74AHCT3G04DC-Q100 requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.5 V per Table 6 recommended operating conditions. For 3.3 V systems, the pin-compatible 74AHC3G04DC-Q100 variant (2.0–5.5 V range, CMOS thresholds) is specified and qualified for identical automotive temperature ranges.
How does the propagation delay vary with load capacitance?
At VCC = 5.0 V, tpd increases from 3.4 ns (typ) at CL = 15 pF to 4.9 ns (typ) at CL = 50 pF. This linear relationship is documented in Table 8 dynamic characteristics and enables accurate timing margining for LIN, PWM, and reset signal paths in automotive designs.
Is the VSSOP8 package RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes - the SOT765-1 (VSSOP8) package used for 74AHCT3G04DC-Q100 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, as confirmed in Nexperia's official compliance documentation and product change notices.
