Product details
Overview
74HC1GU04GW/C125 from NXP Semiconductors is a single high-speed CMOS inverter gate in TSSOP5 (SOT353-1) package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivering symmetrical output impedance, balanced propagation delays (6–10 ns at VCC = 6.0 V/4.5 V, CL = 50 pF), and low power dissipation - used for signal inversion, crystal oscillator biasing, and linear amplifier stages in space-constrained industrial control and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC1GU04GW/C125 datasheet, 74HC1GU04GW/C125 pinout, 74HC1GU04GW/C125 application, or 74HC1GU04GW/C125 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, real-world timing behavior across voltage/temperature, static/dynamic electrical limits, and validated alternative options for logic-level inversion in automotive-grade and extended-temperature designs.
Technical Context
The 74HC1GU04GW/C125 implements a single unbuffered CMOS inverter stage with rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance (VI = 0 to VCC) and defined switching thresholds (VM ≈ 0.5 × VCC). Its internal structure supports stable operation as a gain stage in Pierce oscillators when biased via external resistors R1/R2 per Figure 12.
It features symmetrical output drive capability (±2.6 mA at VCC = 6.0 V), low input capacitance (5 pF), and input leakage current ≤1.0 µA at VCC = 6.0 V - enabling reliable interfacing with high-impedance nodes and low-power microcontroller GPIOs without signal degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 6 ns (typ.) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - enables sub-100 MHz clock distribution in simple oscillator or pulse-shaping circuits. |
| Output Drive Current | ±2.6 mA (sink/source) at VCC = 6.0 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads or small capacitive sensors directly. |
| Input Capacitance (CI) | 5 pF - minimizes loading on preceding high-impedance sources such as crystal resonators or analog comparators. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor IoT node applications. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | 200 mW (Tamb = −40 °C to +125 °C) - allows continuous operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling. |
| Input Leakage Current | ≤1.0 µA at VCC = 6.0 V - ensures stable DC biasing in high-R bias networks (e.g., R1 = 2.2 MΩ in oscillator design). |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP5 (SOT353-1) package: plastic thin shrink small outline, 5 leads, body width 1.25 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, lead finish matte tin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| n.c. | Not connected | No internal connection; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice - no routing required. |
| A | Data input | CMOS-compatible input accepting 0 V to VCC; VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., VIH = 3.6 V at VCC = 4.5 V). |
| GND | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| Y | Data output | Inverted logic output with rail-to-rail swing; capable of sourcing/sinking ≥2 mA while maintaining VOL ≤0.33 V / VOH ≥5.63 V at VCC = 6.0 V. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) recommended within 3 mm of pin for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical output impedance | Enables matched rise/fall times (tPLH ≈ tPHL), critical for clean square-wave generation in oscillator feedback loops. |
| Balanced propagation delays | Ensures minimal duty-cycle distortion across temperature (−40 °C to +125 °C) and supply (2.0–6.0 V), supporting stable timing in clock buffers. |
| Wide operating voltage range | Eliminates need for separate 3.3 V/5 V logic families - one BOM item serves multiple voltage domains in mixed-supply systems. |
| Low input capacitance | Reduces phase shift and loading in crystal oscillator tank circuits, improving start-up reliability and frequency stability. |
| High-temperature rating | Validated operation up to +125 °C ambient enables use in engine control units, power inverters, and sealed industrial enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverter gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC1G04GV | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher speed (4.1 ns typ. at VCC = 3.3 V); lower ICC (max 10 µA). | Better suited for battery-powered 3.3 V systems; not rated for 6.0 V or +125 °C operation. | Select when optimizing for ultra-low static power and 3.3 V-only operation; verify voltage compatibility with host system rails. |
| SN74AUP1G04DBVR | Wider VCC range (0.8–3.6 V); lowest power (ICC < 0.9 µA typ.); slower tpd (11.5 ns min at VCC = 1.8 V). | Targeted for sub-2 V portable electronics; lacks 6.0 V tolerance and extended temperature qualification. | Prefer for energy-harvesting or wearables where supply is <2.5 V and thermal stress is minimal. |
Compared with 74HC1GU04GW/C125, the 74LVC1G04GV offers faster switching at 3.3 V but sacrifices 6.0 V headroom and high-temperature margin, while the SN74AUP1G04DBVR achieves nanoamp quiescent current at the cost of reduced voltage range and speed - making 74HC1GU04GW/C125 the optimal choice for industrial designs requiring wide VCC, full −40 °C to +125 °C operation, and proven oscillator stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74HC1GU04GW/C125?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for the 74HC1GU04GW/C125 is +7.0 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.0 V to 6.0 V. Operation above 6.0 V risks exceeding safe power dissipation limits and may degrade long-term reliability. The 74HC1GU04GW/C125 is routinely used at 5.0 V and 6.0 V in industrial timing circuits with full specification compliance.
Does the 74HC1GU04GW/C125 support operation at −40 °C to +125 °C?
Yes, the 74HC1GU04GW/C125 is fully specified and qualified for operation across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature, as confirmed in Table 1 (Ordering Information) and Table 6 (Recommended Operating Conditions). This makes the 74HC1GU04GW/C125 suitable for under-hood automotive modules and industrial power converters where thermal cycling is severe.
Can the 74HC1GU04GW/C125 be used as a linear amplifier?
Yes - the 74HC1GU04GW/C125 can be biased into its linear region using external resistors R1 and R2 (per Figure 11), achieving an open-loop gain of ~20 and unity-gain bandwidth of ~5 MHz. This application is explicitly documented in Section 14 of the datasheet, and the 74HC1GU04GW/C125's low input capacitance and symmetrical output drive support stable analog operation.
What is the pin configuration of the 74HC1GU04GW/C125?
The 74HC1GU04GW/C125 uses a 5-pin TSSOP5 (SOT353-1) package with pin 1 = n.c., pin 2 = A (input), pin 3 = GND, pin 4 = Y (output), and pin 5 = VCC. Pinout is verified in Section 6.2 (Pin Description) and Figure 4 of the official NXP datasheet - no alternate configurations exist for this variant.
Is the 74HC1GU04GW/C125 pin-compatible with other 5-pin SOT logic gates?
No - while the 74HC1GU04GW/C125 shares the SOT353-1 footprint with other 5-pin logic devices, its pin 1 is n.c. (not connected), unlike many competing inverters that use pin 1 as input or enable. Substituting without verifying pin mapping risks incorrect biasing or open-input faults. Always validate against the 74HC1GU04GW/C125-specific pin diagram before layout reuse.
