Product details
Overview
74HC3GU04DC-Q100 from Nexperia is a triple unbuffered inverter IC qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive use, operating from -40 °C to +125 °C with supply voltage range 2.0 V to 6.0 V. It features symmetrical output impedance, balanced propagation delays (5–15 ns at VCC = 6.0 V), and integrated input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC via current-limiting resistors. It is used in crystal oscillator circuits and linear amplifier configurations.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC3GU04DC-Q100 datasheet, 74HC3GU04DC-Q100 pinout, 74HC3GU04DC-Q100 application, or 74HC3GU04DC-Q100 equivalent, key selection considerations include its unbuffered logic architecture, automotive temperature rating, VSSOP8 (SOT765-1) package footprint, and dual-mode functionality as both digital inverter and analog gain stage.
Technical Context
This device implements three independent unbuffered CMOS inverters on a single die, each with identical input/output characteristics and no internal buffering-enabling direct use in analog applications like crystal oscillators and linear amplifiers. Its input clamp diodes allow overvoltage tolerance when paired with external current-limiting resistors, and its symmetrical output drive supports bidirectional signal conditioning.
The device operates across a wide VCC range (2.0–6.0 V) with guaranteed performance at both 25 °C and full automotive temperature extremes (-40 °C to +125 °C). Propagation delay variation is minimized by matched P/N transistor sizing, and ESD robustness is ensured via HBM >2000 V and CDM >1000 V protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Triple unbuffered inverter - enables analog operation (e.g., crystal oscillator, linear amplifier) without internal buffering stages |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered automotive modules |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and powertrain control units |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC3G04GW-Q100 | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher speed (tpd = 3.2 ns @ 3.3 V); no input clamps | Not suitable for overvoltage-tolerant designs or analog oscillator use; optimized for high-speed 3.3 V logic only | Select when prioritizing speed and 3.3 V compatibility over analog flexibility or 6 V operation |
| SN74LVC3G04YZPR | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q100); same VCC range and pinout; lacks automotive qualification and extended temp validation | Restricted to non-safety-critical infotainment or body electronics; not approved for powertrain or ADAS | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary |
Compared with 74LVC3G04GW-Q100 and SN74LVC3G04YZPR, the 74HC3GU04DC-Q100 uniquely supports analog oscillator design, 6 V operation, and overvoltage-tolerant interfacing-making it the sole choice for automotive clock generation and mixed-signal signal conditioning where unbuffered gain and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 are mandatory.

FAQ
Can the 74HC3GU04DC-Q100 be used as a linear amplifier?
Yes. Its unbuffered CMOS structure allows operation in the linear region when DC-biased with external resistors (R1 ≥ 3 kΩ, R2 ≤ 1 MΩ). Typical open-loop gain is 20, with unity-gain bandwidth of 5 MHz and output swing centered at 0.5 × VCC. Application Figure 10 in the datasheet provides the exact biasing network.
What is the maximum frequency achievable in a crystal oscillator configuration?
The device supports crystal oscillator operation up to 600 kHz using standard external components (C1 = 47 pF, C2 = 5 pF, R1 = 2.2 MΩ). For frequencies above 14 kHz, R2 should be replaced with a 35 pF capacitor to maintain stability against VCC variations, as specified in Table 12 of the datasheet.
Does the VSSOP8 package (SOT765-1) have the same pinout as the TSSOP8 (SOT505-2)?
Yes. Both packages share identical pin numbering and functional assignment: pins 1/3/6 = inputs (1A/2A/3A), pins 2/5/7 = outputs (3Y/2Y/1Y), pin 4 = GND, pin 8 = VCC. The mechanical dimensions differ (VSSOP8 body width = 2.3 mm vs. TSSOP8 = 3.0 mm), but PCB layout is pin-compatible.
How does the input clamping diode affect interface design with 12 V signals?
The integrated clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V. To connect a 12 V signal, a series current-limiting resistor must be used to restrict IIK to ≤ ±20 mA (per Absolute Maximum Ratings). For VCC = 5 V, a minimum 350 Ω resistor ensures compliance, enabling direct integration with higher-voltage automotive subsystems.
