Nexperia USA Inc. 74ALVC04D,112

Overview

74ALVC04D,112 from Nexperia is a hex inverter logic IC operating at 1.65–3.6 V supply, with 3.4 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, ±24 mA output drive, and TTL-compatible inputs. It serves as a level-shifting signal inverter in low-voltage digital interface circuits such as USB peripheral control and FPGA I/O buffering.

For engineers reviewing the 74ALVC04D,112 datasheet, 74ALVC04D,112 pinout, 74ALVC04D,112 application, or 74ALVC04D,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage range compatibility, propagation delay budget for timing-critical paths, output drive strength for capacitive bus loading, and input threshold alignment with mixed-voltage logic families.

Technical Context

This device implements six independent CMOS inverters in a single SO-14 package, using advanced ALVC (Advanced Low-Voltage CMOS) process technology. Each gate features Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis option (not enabled by default), rail-to-rail output swing, and ESD protection exceeding 2 kV HBM.

The logic function conforms to JEDEC standard JESD8-5A for 1.8/2.5/3.3 V operation. Input thresholds are referenced to V_CC, enabling reliable interfacing between 1.8 V and 3.3 V domains without external level shifters.

FAQ

Is 74ALVC04D,112 compatible with 5 V tolerant inputs?

No. The 74ALVC04D,112 has absolute maximum input voltage of V_CC + 0.5 V. Applying 5 V to any input while V_CC ≤ 3.6 V violates the datasheet limit and risks permanent damage. External clamping or level-shifting is required for 5 V signal sources.

Can this device drive a 50 Ω transmission line directly?

No. Its ±24 mA output drive corresponds to ~138 Ω minimum resistive load at 3.3 V. For 50 Ω impedance matching, a dedicated line driver or series termination resistor is required to avoid signal reflection and overshoot.

Does 74ALVC04D,112 support hot insertion?

No. It lacks I_off protection or power-off isolation. Connecting or disconnecting while V_CC is unpowered may cause back-powering through input clamps, leading to latch-up or undefined output states.

What is the maximum recommended output capacitive load?

The datasheet specifies guaranteed timing up to 50 pF. Operation beyond that increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may exceed 10 ns at 100 pF. For loads >50 pF, verify timing margins in final layout simulation and consider adding a local buffer stage.
