Nexperia USA Inc. 74AUP2GU04GM-Q100X

Overview

74AUP2GU04GM-Q100 from Nexperia is a dual unbuffered CMOS inverter qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive use, operating from 0.8 V to 3.6 V supply, delivering ICC ≤ 0.9 μA max static current, propagation delay as low as 0.3 ns at VCC = 3.6 V (CL = 5 pF), and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 3.6 V - deployed in engine control unit signal conditioning and infotainment power sequencing.

For engineers reviewing the 74AUP2GU04GM-Q100 datasheet, 74AUP2GU04GM-Q100 pinout, 74AUP2GU04GM-Q100 application, or 74AUP2GU04GM-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low ICC across wide VCC range, guaranteed operation at -40 °C to +125 °C, input overvoltage tolerance, low-noise switching (<10% VCC overshoot/undershoot), and XSON6 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.

Technical Context

This device implements two independent unbuffered inverter gates using advanced AUP (Advanced Ultra-low Power) CMOS logic. Each gate features rail-to-rail input voltage acceptance (–0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V), symmetric output drive capability (±4 mA at VCC = 3.0 V), and no internal feedback resistors - enabling direct use in crystal oscillator and linear amplifier configurations per Figure 8 and Figure 9 of the datasheet.

The unbuffered architecture eliminates internal stage buffering, resulting in lower propagation delay variation across voltage and temperature, reduced capacitive loading on driving sources, and intrinsic suitability for analog applications like Pierce oscillators where phase shift and gain stability are critical. Input hysteresis is not implemented; logic thresholds remain fixed at VIH = 0.75×VCC and VIL = 0.25×VCC.

FAQ

Can the 74AUP2GU04GM-Q100 be used as a linear amplifier?

Yes - the unbuffered architecture allows stable linear-mode operation when biased with external resistors (R1 ≥ 3 kΩ, R2 ≤ 1 MΩ) and a 0.47 µF capacitor, achieving open-loop gain of 20 and output swing of VCC – 1.5 V centered at 0.5×VCC, as verified in Figure 8 of the official datasheet.

What is the maximum load capacitance supported at 3.6 V supply?

Propagation delay remains characterized up to 30 pF load capacitance at VCC = 3.6 V, with tpd = 1.1 ns (min) to 5.7 ns (max). For reliable operation beyond 30 pF, external buffer stages or slew-rate limiting should be added per application requirements.

Does this device require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?

No - all inputs are fully specified from GND to VCC + 0.5 V and exhibit ≤ ±0.75 μA leakage across temperature. Unused inputs may be tied directly to VCC or GND; floating inputs are not permitted per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up compliance requirements.

Is the XSON6 (SOT886) package compatible with standard reflow profiles?

Yes - the SOT886 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Its wettable flanks enable reliable solder joint inspection using automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.
