Product details
Overview
74HCT2G04GW,125 from Nexperia is a dual CMOS inverter with TTL-compatible input thresholds, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering 10 ns typical propagation delay at 4.5 V/50 pF, ±4 mA output drive, and rated for -40 °C to +125 °C ambient. It serves as a level-shifting signal conditioner in microcontroller I/O expansion and digital logic interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT2G04GW,125 datasheet, 74HCT2G04GW,125 pinout, 74HCT2G04GW,125 application, or 74HCT2G04GW,125 equivalent, key selection factors include its TTL-level input compatibility, TSSOP6 package footprint, guaranteed operation up to +125 °C, and low dynamic power dissipation (CPD = 9 pF).
Technical Context
The 74HCT2G04GW,125 implements two independent inverters in a single monolithic CMOS structure with input clamp diodes enabling safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Its TTL-compatible inputs accept 2.0 V minimum HIGH and 0.8 V maximum LOW thresholds across full temperature range.
Propagation delay (tpd) and transition time (tt) are characterized under load (CL = 50 pF) and specified for VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with tpd ≤ 29 ns and tt ≤ 22 ns over -40 °C to +125 °C. Output stages provide symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability up to ±4 mA at VCC = 4.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH(min) = 2.0 V, VIL(max) = 0.8 V - Guarantees reliable recognition of standard TTL logic levels across full temperature range. |
| Propagation Delay | tpd ≤ 29 ns @ VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF, -40 °C to +125 °C - Supports timing-critical signal inversion in high-speed control paths. |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA @ VOH/VOL spec - Sufficient to directly drive multiple 74-series inputs or small capacitive loads without buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLC I/O, and extended-temperature embedded controllers. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | Ptot = 250 mW (TSSOP6), derates linearly above 83 °C - Enables thermal design margin in compact, unventilated enclosures. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Reduces risk of field failure during handling and board assembly in automated manufacturing. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP6 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT363-2), 6-pin, body width 1.25 mm, lead pitch 0.65 mm, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1A | First inverter input - Accepts TTL-level signals; clamped to prevent overstress beyond VCC or below GND. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - Shared return path for both inverters; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce. |
| 3 | 2A | Second inverter input - Electrically isolated from 1A; supports independent signal conditioning paths. |
| 4 | 2Y | Second inverter output - Inverted copy of 2A; capable of sourcing/sinking ±4 mA into capacitive or resistive loads. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage - Powers both gates; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) recommended within 5 mm of this pin. |
| 6 | 1Y | First inverter output - Inverted copy of 1A; matches 2Y electrical characteristics for consistent timing behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | Enables direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL outputs without external level translation circuitry. |
| Clamp Diode Protection | Allows safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V or below GND − 0.5 V when series current limiting is applied. |
| Balanced Propagation Delays | Ensures matched timing between both inverter channels, critical for differential or paired signal paths. |
| High Noise Immunity | Input hysteresis and rail-to-rail noise margins suppress false triggering in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Low ICC Standby Current | ICC ≤ 20 μA at VCC = 5.5 V and Tamb = +125 °C - Minimizes quiescent power in always-on monitoring circuits. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Microcontroller GPIO Expansion |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Inverting analog comparator outputs or open-drain sensor alerts before routing to MCU interrupt pins. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal polarity correction and noise-filtered logic-level translation between sensors and 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete transistor inverters; maintains sub-30 ns timing integrity for fast edge detection. |
Use Scenario: Expanding limited GPIO count on ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs by inverting unused bidirectional lines for dedicated input or output functions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-level inverter enabling reuse of shared data bus lines as unidirectional control signals. Use Value: Provides deterministic 10–29 ns delay with no software overhead, preserving real-time response in firmware-driven peripherals. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Legacy System Interfacing |
|
Use Scenario: Conditioning switch inputs (e.g., door latch, trunk release) in BCMs requiring ESD-hardened, high-temp-stable logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input buffer and polarity adjuster for mechanical switch debouncing circuits operating at +105 °C ambient. Use Value: Meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements via 125 °C rating and >2 kV HBM ESD protection, reducing BOM count. |
Use Scenario: Bridging communication between modern 3.3 V FPGAs and legacy 5 V peripheral ICs using inverted handshake signals (e.g., /RDY, /BUSY). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-adapting inverter ensuring correct interpretation of active-low control signals across voltage domains. Use Value: Avoids complex level-shifter ICs; TTL input thresholds guarantee reliable recognition of 5 V logic even with FPGA I/O tolerances. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT2G04GV,125 | Same logic function and specs, but in SC-74 (SOT457) package - 3.1 mm × 1.7 mm vs. TSSOP6's 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm. | Preferred where board space allows larger footprint and higher thermal mass is beneficial for sustained +125 °C operation. | Select GV variant if PCB layout accommodates wider pitch (0.95 mm vs. 0.65 mm) and requires slightly better thermal resistance. |
| SN74LVC2G04DBVR | 3.3 V only (1.65–5.5 V), lower VIL/VIH thresholds (0.7×/0.3× VCC), 3.7 ns tpd @ 3.3 V - not TTL-compatible. | Suitable for 3.3 V-only systems; incompatible with 5 V TTL inputs without external biasing or level shifting. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs requiring ultra-low delay; avoid in mixed-voltage or legacy TTL environments. |
Compared with 74HCT2G04GW,125, the GV variant offers identical electrical performance in a physically larger, thermally robust package, while the SN74LVC2G04DBVR trades TTL compatibility for speed and 3.3 V optimization - making the GW version the sole choice for drop-in replacement in existing 5 V TTL-interfaced designs.

FAQ
Can 74HCT2G04GW,125 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74HCT2G04GW,125 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its Recommended Operating Conditions table. At 3.3 V, VIH and VIL thresholds fall outside guaranteed logic recognition windows, risking unreliable switching. Use 74LVC2G04 for 3.3 V systems.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The device is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance in dynamic testing (tpd, tt). While it can drive higher capacitance, propagation delay increases linearly - e.g., 100 pF adds ~15–20 ns to tpd at 4.5 V. For >50 pF, verify timing margins in final PCB layout with actual trace and load capacitance.
Does this part support hot insertion or live swapping?
No. The 74HCT2G04GW,125 lacks Ioff (power-off protection) or IOZ (three-state with power-down) features. Applying signals to inputs or outputs while VCC is unpowered risks forward-biasing internal clamp diodes, potentially causing latch-up or excessive current draw.
How does the TSSOP6 package affect thermal performance compared to SOIC?
The TSSOP6 (SOT363-2) has higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 170 K/W) than SOIC-8 (≈ 120 K/W), limiting power dissipation in still-air conditions. Its 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint enables dense layouts but requires careful copper pour and thermal vias beneath the exposed pad (if present) or adjacent GND traces to manage junction temperature at +125 °C ambient.
