Nexperia USA Inc. 74AXP2T08GFX

Overview

74AXP2T08 from Nexperia is a dual-supply, dual 2-input AND gate IC with independent input (VCCI: 0.7–2.75 V) and output (VCCO: 1.2–5.5 V) rails, enabling bidirectional voltage-level translation between sub-1V logic and 5V systems. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection, and operates across –40 °C to +125 °C in TSSOP10 packaging - used in mixed-voltage I/O bridging in industrial controllers and FPGA interface adapters.

For engineers reviewing the 74AXP2T08 datasheet, 74AXP2T08 pinout, 74AXP2T08 application, or 74AXP2T08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-rail level-shifting capability, guaranteed IOFF behavior during power sequencing, low dynamic capacitance (CI = 0.6 pF, CO = 1.8 pF), and JEDEC-compliant voltage thresholds across multiple logic families (JESD8-12A.01 through JESD12-6).

Technical Context

This device implements two independent AND gates with inputs referenced to VCCI and outputs referenced to VCCO, supporting true bidirectional level translation without external biasing. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow edges (Δt/ΔV ≤ 200 ns/V), and IOFF activation disables outputs when either supply is near 0 V, preventing backflow current during hot-insertion or staggered power-up.

Static power consumption is ultra-low: ICCI ≤ 0.5 μA at 85 °C and ICCO ≤ 1.8 μA at 85 °C; dynamic power scales with CPD (0.5 pF at VCCI = 1.2 V; 7.1 pF at VCCO = 3.3 V). It complies with multiple JEDEC standards for 1.1–5.5 V logic interfaces and supports operation across –40 °C to +125 °C ambient.

FAQ

Can 74AXP2T08 translate from 5 V inputs to 1.2 V outputs?

No. Inputs are referenced to VCCI and must not exceed VCCI + 0.5 V or 2.75 V maximum; they cannot accept 5 V signals directly. The device translates from low-voltage inputs (≤2.75 V) to higher-voltage outputs (up to 5.5 V), not vice versa. For 5 V-to-1.2 V translation, a dedicated unidirectional level shifter or resistor-divider + buffer is required.

Does IOFF activate when only VCCI is powered?

Yes. IOFF activates whenever VCCI ≤ 0.1 V or VCCO ≤ 0.1 V, regardless of the other rail's state. When VCCI is near 0 V (e.g., during power-down), the outputs enter high-impedance state even if VCCO remains active - preventing back-current into powered downstream circuits.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?

The datasheet specifies performance up to 120 pF load capacitance with measurable tpd increase (e.g., +18 ns at VCCO = 5 V). For stable 10% overshoot/undershoot and timing compliance, keep CL ≤ 50 pF in high-speed paths; heavier loads require careful layout and may necessitate series termination or buffer staging.

Is 74AXP2T08 qualified for automotive use per AEC-Q100?

No. While rated for –40 °C to +125 °C, the 74AXP2T08 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Nexperia offers the automotive-grade 74AXP2T08-Q100 variant (same functionality, added qualification testing), which must be specified separately for automotive applications requiring formal qualification evidence.
