Product details
Overview
74AHCT3G04GD,125 from Nexperia is a triple CMOS inverter with TTL-compatible input thresholds, 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range, ±8 mA output drive, and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. It operates across –40 °C to +125 °C and is packaged in XSON8 (SOT833-1), enabling level translation in mixed-voltage logic interfaces such as 5 V MCU I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT3G04GD,125 datasheet, 74AHCT3G04GD,125 pinout, 74AHCT3G04GD,125 application, or 74AHCT3G04GD,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include input threshold compatibility with legacy TTL systems, propagation delay under 8.5 ns at 5 V/50 pF, thermal derating behavior above 68 °C, and XSON8 footprint constraints for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements three independent inverting buffers with identical TTL-level input switching (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and rail-to-rail CMOS outputs. Each gate supports symmetrical output impedance and exhibits balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays.
Its overvoltage-tolerant inputs allow safe interfacing with 5.5 V signals even when VCC = 4.5 V, eliminating external clamping diodes in voltage-translating applications. The XSON8 package features 8 solderable terminals with 0.35 mm pitch and 1.0 × 1.95 × 0.5 mm body dimensions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerance to supply ripple. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - matches TTL logic families for seamless integration with legacy microcontrollers and peripherals. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive multiple 74-series inputs or small capacitive loads without buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | Max 8.5 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable operation in sub-100 MHz digital control paths. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - permits direct connection to higher-voltage buses without external protection. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 68 °C, derates 3.1 mW/K above - defines thermal limits for continuous operation in compact enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
XSON8 (SOT833-1) package: plastic extremely thin small outline, no leads, 8 terminals, body size 1.0 × 1.95 × 0.5 mm, 0.35 mm terminal pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input A1 | First inverter input; accepts 0–5.5 V signals independent of VCC. |
| 2 | Output Y3 | Third inverter output; drives load referenced to GND/VCC rails. |
| 3 | Input A2 | Second inverter input; electrically isolated from other inputs. |
| 4 | GND | Digital ground reference; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 5 | Output Y2 | Second inverter output; shares same VCC/GND with all gates. |
| 6 | Input A3 | Third inverter input; tolerant to 5.5 V even at VCC = 4.5 V. |
| 7 | Output Y1 | First inverter output; provides inverted logic state with <8.5 ns delay. |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor required within 3 mm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Enables plug-in replacement of 74LS04 in legacy 5 V systems without redesign. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Eliminates need for external series resistors or clamps when interfacing with 5.5 V sensors or buses. |
| Symmetrical output impedance | Ensures matched rise/fall times (<10% skew) for clean clock inversion and signal conditioning. |
| Low dynamic power dissipation | CPD = 10 pF per buffer - reduces switching current in high-frequency enable/control lines. |
| High ESD robustness | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - improves manufacturing yield and field reliability in handling-sensitive environments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Legacy MCU GPIO Level Translation |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noise-immune inverter stage with high VIH/VIL margins rejecting sub-100 ns glitches. Use Value: 2.0 V VIH and 0.8 V VIL provide >1.2 V noise margin; ±8 mA drive sustains signal integrity into 50 Ω scope inputs. | Use Scenario: Isolating digital control signals between a 5 V analog front-end ASIC and a 3.3 V safety-monitoring MCU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Galvanically isolated logic inverter (used with optocoupler input side) ensuring fault-free reset sequencing. Use Value: –40 °C to +125 °C rating supports operation near heat-generating analog sections; low ICC <40 μA minimizes standby power draw. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT3G04DC | VSSOP8 package (2.3 mm width); 0.65 mm lead pitch; higher thermal resistance than XSON8. | Requires larger PCB area; better suited for hand-soldering or prototyping vs. automated high-density assembly. | Select when board assembly process lacks XSON8 reflow capability or when thermal margin exceeds 68 °C is not required. |
| SN74LVC3G04DCUR | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V @ VCC = 3.3 V); 1.65–5.5 V supply; lower drive (±24 mA). | Not TTL-compatible; unsuitable for direct 5 V legacy interface without external biasing. | Choose only if system uses uniform 3.3 V logic and requires wider supply flexibility, not TTL interoperability. |
Compared with 74AHCT3G04DC, the 74AHCT3G04GD,125 offers 30% smaller footprint and superior thermal performance above 68 °C; versus SN74LVC3G04DC, it guarantees native TTL input compatibility but sacrifices multi-supply flexibility.

FAQ
Is 74AHCT3G04GD,125 compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller outputs?
No - its TTL input thresholds require ≥2.0 V for HIGH recognition, making it incompatible with 3.3 V CMOS outputs that swing only to ~1.7 V (VOH min). It is designed specifically for 5 V systems or level translation from 5 V to lower-voltage logic, not the reverse.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The device is rated for operation up to +125 °C ambient, with junction temperature limited by package thermal resistance and power dissipation. For XSON8 (SOT833-1), Ptot derates linearly at 3.1 mW/K above +68 °C; at 125 °C ambient, maximum usable power drops to ~72 mW assuming typical θJA.
Can this part drive a 50 Ω transmission line directly?
Yes - with ±8 mA output drive at VCC = 4.5 V, it can source/sink sufficient current to terminate a 50 Ω line at ~0.4 V swing (8 mA × 50 Ω), though signal integrity beyond 10 cm may require external series termination due to limited edge rate control.
Does the XSON8 package support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the XSON8 (SOT833-1) package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. Its 0.35 mm terminal pitch and exposed pad-less structure require precise stencil design and placement accuracy.
