Product details

Overview

74AHCU04D-Q100 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified hex unbuffered CMOS inverter in SO14 (SOT108-1) package, operating from -40 °C to +125 °C with 5.5 V max supply, 7.1 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V/15 pF, and input overvoltage tolerance up to V_CC + 0.5 V - used for signal inversion, crystal oscillator biasing, and linear amplification in automotive body control modules.

For engineers reviewing the 74AHCU04D-Q100 datasheet, 74AHCU04D-Q100 pinout, 74AHCU04D-Q100 application, or 74AHCU04D-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, automotive-grade thermal and ESD specs (HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V), SO14 package dimensions, and validated alternatives for logic-level inversion in harsh-environment designs.

Technical Context

This device implements six independent single-stage CMOS inverters with rail-to-rail input voltage acceptance (VI = -0.5 V to V_CC + 0.5 V) and output drive capability of ±8 mA at 4.5 V. Its unbuffered architecture enables direct use in Pierce oscillator configurations and linear amplifier topologies via external feedback networks.

It complies with JEDEC 7A and AEC-Q100 Grade 1, supporting automotive ambient ranges (-40 °C to +125 °C) with guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds (e.g., VIH = 4.4 V min at V_CC = 5.5 V) and dynamic performance characterized across temperature and load (CL = 15–50 pF).

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CC Range	2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters
t_pd (Typ)	5.5 ns at V_CC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables sub-100 MHz clock distribution in discrete logic paths
V_IH/V_IL	4.4 V/1.1 V min/max at V_CC = 5.5 V - ensures noise margin >0.4 V in 5 V systems
I_O Drive	±8.0 mA at V_CC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads or interface with TTL inputs
ESD Rating	HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets automotive board-level ESD robustness requirements
P_tot	500 mW max at T_amb ≤ 100 °C (SO14) - derates 10.1 mW/K above 100 °C for thermal design margin

Pinout & Package

74AHCU04D-Q100 uses the SO14 plastic small outline package (SOT108-1), 14-lead, 3.9 mm body width, with gull-wing leads and standard 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a bevelled corner or index notch.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13	Inverter Input (1A–6A)	CMOS-compatible digital inputs accepting voltages up to V_CC + 0.5 V; no external pull-ups required
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12	Inverter Output (1Y–6Y)	Push-pull CMOS outputs capable of sourcing/sinking ±8 mA; rail-to-rail swing
7	GND	Primary ground reference for all logic and power return paths; must be low-impedance
14	V_CC	Single positive supply input (2.0–5.5 V); requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification	Validated for automotive operation from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including lifetime reliability testing
Input overvoltage tolerance	Accepts VI up to V_CC + 0.5 V - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage interfaces
Balanced propagation delays	t_PLH ≈ t_PHL within 0.5 ns - critical for symmetrical waveform generation in oscillators
Low static current	I_CC ≤ 40 μA at V_CC = 5.5 V - enables always-on monitoring circuits with minimal quiescent drain
Side-wettable flanks not applicable	SO14 package lacks side-wettable flanks; AOI inspection relies on lead coplanarity and solder fillet visibility

Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex unbuffered inverter applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
SN74LVC04AQPWRQ1	Lower V_CC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher I_O (±24 mA); same AEC-Q100 Grade 1	Better suited for 1.8 V logic interfacing and higher-current loads; slightly higher propagation delay (7.8 ns)	Select when driving heavier capacitive loads or interfacing with 1.8 V peripherals
74AHC04BQ-Q100	Same family but DHVQFN14 package; identical electrical specs; no SO14 option	Requires rework for PCB layout; offers superior thermal resistance (9.6 mW/K derating vs. SO14's 10.1 mW/K)	Select only if space-constrained layout demands QFN and thermal performance outweighs assembly complexity

Compared with SN74LVC04AQPWRQ1 and 74AHC04BQ-Q100, the 74AHCU04D-Q100 uniquely combines SO14 manufacturability, input overvoltage tolerance, and optimized propagation delay for cost-sensitive automotive signal inversion where 3.3/5 V compatibility and legacy footprint retention are mandatory.

FAQ

Can 74AHCU04D-Q100 operate at 2.0 V supply?

Yes - it is fully specified down to V_CC = 2.0 V per Table 5, with guaranteed VIH ≥ 1.7 V and VOL ≤ 0.3 V at IO = 4.0 mA. Propagation delay increases to 9.0 ns (max) at 2.0 V/15 pF, making it suitable for ultra-low-power wake-up logic in battery-backed systems.

Is pin 7 the only ground connection?

Yes - pin 7 is the sole dedicated GND terminal. All six inverters share this common ground reference; no separate analog/digital ground pins exist. Layout best practice requires a solid ground plane beneath the SO14 footprint with short, low-inductance traces to minimize switching noise coupling.

What is the maximum capacitive load for stable oscillator operation?

For Pierce oscillator use, total load capacitance (C1 + C2 + stray) should remain ≤ 50 pF per Figure 12 and Table 8. Exceeding this risks startup failure or frequency drift; typical values are C1 = 47 pF and C2 = 33 pF for fundamental-mode crystals near 1 MHz.

Does the SO14 package support automated optical inspection (AOI)?

No - unlike the DHVQFN14 variant (74AHCU04BQ-Q100), the SO14 package lacks side-wettable flanks. AOI relies on top-surface lead geometry and solder fillet contrast; process validation per IPC-A-610 Class 3 is recommended for automotive production.
