Product details

Overview

74HC2G16GWH from Nexperia is a dual non-inverting buffer gate in TSSOP6 (SOT363-2) package, operating across 2.0 V–6.0 V supply, delivering 8 ns typical propagation delay at 6.0 V/50 pF and ±25 mA output drive capability. It serves as a level-shifting, noise-immune signal repeater in digital interface chains of industrial control logic and sensor data conditioning circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC2G16GWH datasheet, 74HC2G16GWH pinout, 74HC2G16GWH application, or 74HC2G16GWH equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide V_CC range, guaranteed -40 °C to +125 °C operation, CMOS low-power static dissipation (<20 μA ICC), balanced t_PLH/t_PHL, and JEDEC-compliant ESD robustness (HBM >2000 V).

Technical Context

This device implements two independent CMOS buffer stages with rail-to-rail input thresholds and push-pull outputs. Each channel features identical electrical behavior, with VIH/VIL defined relative to V_CC (e.g., VIH ≥ 4.2 V at V_CC = 6.0 V) and VOL ≤ 0.26 V at I_O = 4.0 mA.

Propagation delay is load- and voltage-dependent: 13 ns max at V_CC = 6.0 V/CL = 50 pF over full temperature range, while transition time remains ≤20 ns under same conditions. Input capacitance is fixed at 1.5 pF, enabling predictable timing in high-speed bus fanout applications.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CC Range	2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing without level shifters
t_pd Max	20 ns at V_CC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF, -40 °C to +125 °C - ensures deterministic timing in real-time control loops
I_O Drive	±25 mA - sufficient for driving multiple 74-series inputs or moderate PCB trace capacitance
VOL / VOH	VOL ≤ 0.26 V at I_O = 4.0 mA; VOH ≥ 4.18 V at I_O = -4.0 mA, V_CC = 4.5 V - guarantees TTL/CMOS logic compatibility
ICC Static	≤ 20.0 μA at V_CC = 6.0 V, -40 °C to +125 °C - enables ultra-low-quiescent-power standby modes
ESD Rating	HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets industrial IEC 61000-4-2 immunity requirements without external protection

Pinout & Package

TSSOP6 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT363-2), 6-pin, body width 1.25 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free and RoHS compliant.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	1A	First buffer input - accepts CMOS/TTL-compatible logic levels; unlimited rise/fall time tolerance
2	GND	Digital ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling
3	2A	Second buffer input - electrically isolated from 1A; enables dual-channel signal conditioning
4	2Y	Second buffer output - actively driven high/low; capable of sourcing/sinking 25 mA
5	V_CC	Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm for stable high-speed operation
6	1Y	First buffer output - matches 2Y in drive strength and timing; supports parallel output routing

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Wide supply range	2.0 V–6.0 V operation eliminates need for dedicated voltage rails in multi-supply systems
Balanced propagation delays	t_PLH ≈ t_PHL - prevents duty-cycle distortion in clock or data re-timing applications
Unlimited input edge rates	No minimum rise/fall time requirement - compatible with slow microcontroller GPIOs and fast FPGA outputs
High noise immunity	Input hysteresis not present, but CMOS threshold symmetry and >40% noise margin ensure robust operation in noisy environments
JEDEC compliance	JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) certified - simplifies qualification for global industrial standards

Applications

Industrial PLC I/O Expansion

Sensor Signal Conditioning

Use Scenario: Isolating and buffering digital status signals from remote field sensors before entering a microcontroller's GPIO bank.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual buffer provides galvanic isolation proxy and drive strength restoration between optocoupler outputs and MCU inputs.

Use Value: Enables reliable 24 V sensor logic translation into 3.3 V/5 V MCU domains without external resistors or level shifters.

Use Scenario: Amplifying and cleaning weak open-collector outputs from analog sensor interface ICs before ADC sampling.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a low-latency, low-noise repeater to restore signal integrity degraded by long PCB traces or EMI.

Use Value: Maintains sub-20 ns timing fidelity and <0.3 V VOL across temperature, ensuring accurate edge detection in time-critical sensor polling.

Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Fixture Logic

Legacy Bus Interface Translation

Use Scenario: Driving multiple DUT control lines simultaneously from a single FPGA output in production test fixtures.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fanout buffer replicates one control signal to six parallel loads while preserving setup/hold margins.

Use Value: Delivers ±25 mA per output and matched t_pd across channels, eliminating skew-induced test failures.

Use Scenario: Interfacing modern 3.3 V microcontrollers with legacy 5 V parallel buses (e.g., printer port, ISA-style peripherals).

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage-level translator substitute for unidirectional control lines requiring no direction control pin.

Use Value: Operates natively at both 3.3 V and 5 V V_CC, supporting seamless logic-level bridging without external biasing.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual buffer gate applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
74HCT2G16GW	Fixed 4.5–5.5 V V_CC range; TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min)	Better suited for 5 V-only systems interfacing with legacy TTL logic families	Select when interfacing with 74LS/74ALS devices or where strict 5 V operation is mandated
SN74LVC2G16DBVR	1.65–5.5 V V_CC; lower t_pd (3.5 ns typ); higher ICC (max 10 μA at 25 °C)	Optimized for battery-powered portable equipment requiring faster response and lower voltage operation	Prefer for space-constrained, low-voltage designs needing sub-5 ns timing and 1.8 V compatibility

Compared with 74HC2G16GWH, the 74HCT2G16GW trades supply flexibility for TTL input compatibility, while the SN74LVC2G16DBVR offers superior speed and low-voltage support at the cost of reduced industrial temperature margin (-40 °C to +85 °C only).

FAQ

Is 74HC2G16GWH pin-compatible with 74HC2G16GV?

Yes - both share identical SOT363-2 (TSSOP6) pinout: Pin 1 = 1A, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = 2A, Pin 4 = 2Y, Pin 5 = V_CC, Pin 6 = 1Y. The 'GWH' and 'GV' suffixes denote different tape-and-reel packaging variants, not functional or pinning differences.

Can 74HC2G16GWH operate reliably at 2.0 V with full timing specifications?

Yes - the datasheet guarantees t_pd ≤ 125 ns at V_CC = 2.0 V/CL = 50 pF over -40 °C to +125 °C, and VIH/VIL thresholds scale correctly (VIH ≥ 1.5 V, VIL ≤ 0.5 V). All static and dynamic parameters remain fully specified down to 2.0 V.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive without timing degradation?

At V_CC = 6.0 V, the device maintains t_pd ≤ 20 ns up to CL = 50 pF per output. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay linearly; for 100 pF, t_pd rises to ~32 ns. Layout best practice recommends keeping trace + load capacitance ≤40 pF for critical timing paths.

Does 74HC2G16GWH require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?

No - unused inputs may be left floating due to CMOS input structure with inherent high impedance and negligible leakage (±1.0 μA max). However, for EMI robustness in noisy environments, tying unused inputs to V_CC or GND via 10 kΩ resistors is recommended practice.
