Product details
Overview
74HC2GU04GW,125 from Nexperia is a dual unbuffered CMOS inverter IC in TSSOP6 (SOT363-2) package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivering balanced propagation delays (5–13 ns at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF), high noise immunity, and input clamp diodes enabling overvoltage-tolerant interfacing in space-constrained logic-level translation and oscillator circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC2GU04GW,125 datasheet, 74HC2GU04GW,125 pinout, 74HC2GU04GW,125 application, or 74HC2GU04GW,125 equivalent, this device is selected for low-power dual-inversion tasks requiring rail-to-rail input tolerance, wide temperature operation (−40 °C to +125 °C), and precise timing in crystal oscillator and linear amplifier configurations.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent unbuffered inverter gates using standard CMOS technology-no internal buffering stage, resulting in lower propagation delay variation but higher sensitivity to capacitive loading. Each gate features integrated input clamp diodes referenced to VCC and GND, allowing safe interface with signals exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
It supports operation across three temperature grades (−40 °C to +125 °C), complies with JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V), and meets HBM ESD >2000 V and CDM >1000 V per JEDEC JS-001/JS-002-critical for robustness in portable and industrial control PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation delay | 5 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures tight timing margins in high-speed clock distribution or feedback paths. |
| Input clamp diodes | Integrated anode-to-GND / cathode-to-VCC - permits safe interfacing with voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V using external series resistors. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives without derating. |
| Output drive | ±4.0 mA (VOH/VOL @ VCC = 4.5 V) - sufficient to drive multiple 74HC inputs or small capacitive loads (<50 pF). |
| Power dissipation | 250 mW max (TSSOP6) - supports continuous operation in compact layouts with minimal thermal management. |
| Input leakage | ±1.0 μA max at VCC = 6.0 V, −40 °C to +125 °C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interface nodes. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP6 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT363-2), 6-pin, body width 1.25 mm, lead pitch 0.65 mm, exposed pad not present - optimized for automated placement and reflow in high-density consumer and telecom PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1A (Gate 1 input) | CMOS input node with clamp diodes; accepts DC-coupled signals up to VCC + 0.5 V with current limiting. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output stages; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 3 | 2A (Gate 2 input) | Independent second inverter input; electrically isolated from Gate 1 except shared VCC/GND rails. |
| 4 | 2Y (Gate 2 output) | Inverted logic output driving capacitive or resistive loads; VOH/VOL specified at ±4.0 mA. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm for stable switching performance. |
| 6 | 1Y (Gate 1 output) | First inverter output; identical electrical characteristics to Pin 4; supports fan-out of ≥10 74HC loads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unbuffered architecture | Eliminates internal staging to reduce propagation delay variance and enable use as linear amplifier or crystal oscillator core. |
| Rail-to-rail input tolerance | Clamp diodes allow VI up to VCC + 0.5 V or below GND −0.5 V - simplifies mixed-voltage system interfacing without external protection. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in engine control units, power supplies, and outdoor IoT gateways. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 5 pF - minimizes switching current in battery-powered applications where fIN × VCC² dominates total power budget. |
| High noise immunity | VIL = 0.3 V, VIH = 1.7 V at VCC = 2.0 V - provides >30% noise margin against ground bounce or crosstalk in noisy industrial environments. |
Applications
| Crystal Oscillator Core | Level Translation Interface |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unbuffered inverter configured as gain element in Pierce oscillator topology with external load capacitors and bias resistor. Use Value: Enables self-starting oscillation at frequencies from 3 kHz to 600 kHz with predictable startup time and low phase noise due to absence of internal buffering capacitance. |

Use Value: Provides rail-to-rail output swing centered at 0.5 × VCC without external op-amps-reducing BOM count in simple analog subsystems. |
Use Scenario: Inverting clock or control signals in FPGA configuration chains or digital sequencers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual gate providing matched, low-skew inversion for synchronous timing paths with <1 ns skew between outputs. Use Value: Ensures deterministic setup/hold timing in high-reliability systems such as industrial PLC I/O modules and medical data acquisition. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual unbuffered inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC2G04GW,125 | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher speed (tpd = 3.2 ns typ @ 3.3 V); no input clamps. | Not suitable for overvoltage-tolerant interfaces; better for high-speed 3.3 V-only systems. | Select when speed > robustness; verify input voltage compliance strictly within 1.65–5.5 V. |
| SN74LVC2G04DBVR | Same VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); SC70-6 package (smaller footprint); no input clamps; higher ICC leakage (±5 μA). | Limited to board space-constrained designs where overvoltage protection is handled externally. | Choose for ultra-compact layouts; add external clamping if interfacing >VCC signals. |
Compared with 74HC2GU04GW,125, the LVC alternatives offer faster switching but sacrifice input overvoltage tolerance and high-temperature stability (max +85 °C only), making them unsuitable for automotive or industrial environments requiring −40 °C to +125 °C operation with mixed-voltage resilience.

FAQ
Can 74HC2GU04GW,125 be used as a linear amplifier?
Yes-its unbuffered CMOS structure allows DC biasing into the linear region using external resistors. With R1 ≥ 3 kΩ and R2 ≤ 1 MΩ, it achieves open-loop gain of ~20 and unity-gain bandwidth of 5 MHz, as validated in Figure 12 of the official datasheet. Output swing is rail-to-rail, centered at 0.5 × VCC.
What is the maximum input voltage allowed when VCC = 3.3 V?
Per Absolute Maximum Ratings, VI may reach VCC + 0.5 V = 3.8 V, provided input current is limited to ±20 mA via external series resistor. This is enabled by integrated clamp diodes-confirmed in Section 6.2 (Pin Description) and Table 5 (Limiting Values) of the datasheet.
Does 74HC2GU04GW,125 support 1.8 V operation?
No-minimum recommended VCC is 2.0 V per Table 6. At 1.8 V, VIH/VIL thresholds become undefined, propagation delay increases unpredictably (>100 ns), and output drive falls below specification. For 1.8 V systems, consider 74LVC2G04 instead.
How does thermal derating work for the TSSOP6 package?
For SOT363-2 (TSSOP6), Ptot = 250 mW at ≤83 °C, then derates linearly at 3.7 mW/K above 83 °C. At 125 °C ambient, usable power drops to 104 mW-requiring careful layout with thermal vias and copper pour to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C.
