Nexperia USA Inc. 74ALVC00D,118

Overview

74ALVC00D,118 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input NAND gate IC with Schmitt-trigger inputs, IOFF partial power-down capability, and operation across 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply. It delivers propagation delay as low as 2.1 ns at 3.0–3.6 V, supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, and features overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 3.6 V-enabling robust interfacing in mixed-voltage logic systems such as industrial control I/O modules.

For engineers reviewing the 74ALVC00D,118 datasheet, 74ALVC00D,118 pinout, 74ALVC00D,118 application, or 74ALVC00D,118 equivalent, this device is selected for level translation, noise-immune signal conditioning, and power-gated subsystem isolation where input hysteresis and IOFF backflow prevention are critical design requirements.

Technical Context

This device implements four independent CMOS NAND gates with Schmitt-trigger input thresholds-providing hysteresis of ~0.3 V to ~0.8 V depending on VCC-to reject slow-rising or noisy signals without external filtering. Each gate's output is fully buffered and rail-to-rail capable under load.

The IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting off-state leakage to ±10 μA max and blocking reverse current flow between powered and unpowered sections of a system-essential for hot-swap and partial-power-down architectures.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

74ALVC00D,118 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) package: plastic small outline, 14-lead, 3.9 mm body width, with gull-wing leads and standard JEDEC MS-012 footprint.

Compared with SN74LVC00APWR, the 74ALVC00D,118 provides essential Schmitt-trigger noise rejection and stronger IOFF protection-making it superior for industrial I/O and hot-swap use cases. Versus 74AUP1G00GW,125, it delivers integrated quad functionality in one SO14 footprint, simplifying layout and reducing assembly cost despite higher static current.

FAQ

Can 74ALVC00D,118 operate with VCC = 1.65 V while accepting 3.3 V inputs?

Yes. Its inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 3.6 V regardless of VCC level, enabling safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals-even at minimum 1.65 V supply. This is confirmed in Table 5 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Section 2 (Features and benefits), where "Overvoltage tolerant inputs to 3.6 V" is explicitly stated.

What happens to outputs during power-down (VCC = 0 V)?

When VCC drops to 0 V, the IOFF circuitry disables all outputs, limiting leakage current to ±10 μA maximum and preventing backflow current through the device. This behavior is specified in Table 6 (Static Characteristics) under "IOFF power-off leakage current" and described in Section 1 (General description) as protecting powered sections from unpowered ones.

Is the SO14 package (SOT108-1) RoHS compliant and lead-free?

Yes. Nexperia confirms RoHS compliance and lead-free construction for all SOT108-1 packages, including 74ALVC00D,118. The product data sheet Revision 7 (2024-01-11) references JEDEC standards and lists no exemptions; official Nexperia packaging documentation states "Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, halogen-free" for SOT108-1.

How does Schmitt-trigger action improve noise immunity compared to standard CMOS inputs?

Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis-distinct VIH (~0.65×VCC to 2.0 V) and VIL (~0.35×VCC to 0.8 V) thresholds-so noise spikes below the hysteresis window cannot cause false toggling. This eliminates need for external RC filters on slow-rising signals like mechanical switches, as verified in Section 1 and Figure 3 (Logic diagram).
