Product details
Overview
74HC2GU04GW-Q100 from Nexperia is a dual unbuffered CMOS inverter qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive use, operating from -40 °C to +125 °C with supply voltage range 2.0 V–6.0 V, input clamping diodes enabling overvoltage-tolerant interfacing, and balanced propagation delays (5–15 ns at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF).
For engineers reviewing the 74HC2GU04GW-Q100 datasheet, 74HC2GU04GW-Q100 pinout, 74HC2GU04GW-Q100 application, or 74HC2GU04GW-Q100 equivalent, this device serves as a low-power, high-noise-immunity logic inverter in automotive body control modules, sensor signal conditioning, and crystal oscillator biasing circuits where rail-to-rail swing and input overvoltage resilience are required.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent unbuffered inverters using standard CMOS technology, with each gate featuring input clamp diodes that allow safe interface to signals exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Its unbuffered architecture delivers symmetrical rise/fall times (5–20 ns) and enables linear-mode operation for oscillator and amplifier applications.
The logic function follows standard inverting truth table (L→H, H→L), with static input thresholds scaling with VCC (VIH ≈ 0.7×VCC, VIL ≈ 0.3×VCC) and output drive capability of ±4.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V. It complies with JEDEC JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) standards and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 thermal and reliability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports wide-battery automotive systems (e.g., 3.3 V and 5 V rails) without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and powertrain ECUs per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| Propagation Delay | 5 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - enables timing-critical signal inversion in fast digital subsystems. |
| Input Clamp Current | ±20 mA - permits robust interfacing to external voltages > VCC via series resistors (e.g., LIN bus or sensor outputs). |
| Output Drive Strength | ±4.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive moderate capacitive loads (e.g., crystal oscillator feedback networks). |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW max (SOT363-2) - thermally viable in compact TSSOP6 packages with linear derating above 83 °C. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - ensures handling robustness during automotive manufacturing and service. |
Pinout & Package
74HC2GU04GW-Q100 is housed in a plastic thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP6) with 6 leads and 1.25 mm body width (SOT363-2). Pin 1 is located at the lower-left corner below the marking code "PD".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1A | First inverter input - accepts overvoltage signals when current-limited; referenced to GND. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for both gates and supply decoupling. |
| 3 | 2A | Second inverter input - electrically isolated from 1A; identical clamping and threshold behavior. |
| 4 | 2Y | Second inverter output - provides inverted logic swing from GND to VCC with ±4 mA drive. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply - powers both inverters; must be decoupled locally (e.g., 100 nF ceramic). |
| 6 | 1Y | First inverter output - complements 1A; used in crystal oscillator feedback or linear amplifier configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications requiring operation up to +125 °C ambient and long-term reliability under thermal cycling. |
| Input clamp diodes | Enable direct interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V (with current limiting), eliminating need for external protection diodes in sensor inputs. |
| Unbuffered gate architecture | Permits linear-region operation for crystal oscillator biasing and low-gain amplification (AOL ≈ 20, unity-gain bandwidth = 5 MHz). |
| High noise immunity | Typical VIH/VIL margins of ≥30% of VCC ensure stable switching in electrically noisy automotive environments (e.g., near motors or ignition systems). |
| Low ICC quiescent current | ≤20 µA at VCC = 6.0 V and -40 °C to +125 °C - minimizes standby power in always-on vehicle modules. |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Engine Control Unit (ECU) Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Inverting wake-up signals from door handle capacitive sensors before routing to microcontroller GPIO. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-level inverter providing rail-to-rail logic translation and ESD-hardened input stage. Use Value: Input clamp diodes tolerate transient coupling from adjacent high-voltage wiring; low propagation delay (<15 ns) preserves signal timing integrity across CAN/LIN domains. |
Use Scenario: Conditioning analog sensor outputs (e.g., throttle position potentiometer wiper) into clean digital enable signals for ADC sampling windows. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Schmitt-trigger-free inverter used as a simple threshold comparator with externally biased input. Use Value: Unbuffered design allows precise DC biasing (via R1/R2 network) to set custom trip points; wide VCC range accommodates varying sensor supply rails. |
| Automotive Crystal Oscillator | Infotainment System Clock Buffering |
|
Use Scenario: Forming Pierce oscillator with 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal for real-time clock (RTC) backup domain. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-mode inverter acting as gain element in crystal resonator feedback loop. Use Value: Guaranteed oscillation startup across -40 °C to +125 °C due to high transconductance (gfs ≈ 15 mA/V at VCC = 3.3 V); low ICC minimizes battery drain in sleep mode. |
Use Scenario: Isolating and inverting clock signals between infotainment SoC and display timing controller to meet setup/hold margin requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-path logic inverter providing matched delay paths for differential clock distribution. Use Value: Balanced tPLH/tPHL (≤2 ns skew) maintains phase alignment; TSSOP6 footprint enables dense layout near high-speed interfaces (e.g., MIPI DSI). |
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-Q100 | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher speed (tpd = 3.2 ns typ at 3.3 V); no input clamps. | Better suited for 1.8 V/3.3 V-only systems; lacks overvoltage tolerance for mixed-rail sensor interfaces. | Select when speed and low-voltage operation are prioritized over input overvoltage resilience. |
| SN74LVC2G04DBVR | Industrial-grade (not AEC-Q100); same VCC range and pinout; slightly higher ICC (max 10 µA vs. 20 µA at 125 °C). | Not qualified for automotive use; suitable only for non-safety-critical consumer or industrial designs. | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary. |
Compared with 74LVC2G04GW-Q100 and SN74LVC2G04DBVR, the 74HC2GU04GW-Q100 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, input clamp diodes for overvoltage-safe interfacing, and guaranteed operation up to +125 °C - making it the sole choice for automotive body electronics requiring robustness across mixed-voltage domains.

FAQ
Can 74HC2GU04GW-Q100 be used in linear amplifier configurations?
Yes - its unbuffered CMOS structure allows stable linear-mode operation when DC-biased with appropriate resistors (R1 ≥ 3 kΩ, R2 ≤ 1 MΩ). Typical open-loop gain is 20, with unity-gain bandwidth of 5 MHz and output centered at 0.5 × VCC, enabling low-noise signal amplification in sensor front-ends.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage when VCC = 5.0 V?
Per absolute maximum ratings, input voltage may exceed VCC by up to 0.5 V (i.e., 5.5 V max) provided input clamping current remains within ±20 mA. This requires an external series resistor ≥250 Ω to limit current if driven from a 12 V source, ensuring safe operation without damage.
Does this device support Schmitt-trigger inputs?
No - the 74HC2GU04GW-Q100 has standard CMOS input thresholds (VIH ≈ 0.7×VCC, VIL ≈ 0.3×VCC) without hysteresis. It is not a Schmitt-trigger device; for noise-immune input conditioning, external RC filtering or a dedicated Schmitt inverter (e.g., 74HC14) is required.
How does thermal derating work for the SOT363-2 package?
For the SOT363-2 (TSSOP6) package, total power dissipation (Ptot) derates linearly at 3.7 mW/K above 83 °C ambient. At 125 °C, Ptot drops to approximately 100 mW (250 mW − 3.7 mW/K × 42 K), requiring careful thermal design in sealed enclosures or high-power-density layouts.
