Product details
Overview
74HCT9115N,112 from Nexperia is a 9-bit Schmitt trigger buffer IC with open-drain outputs and clamp diodes on all inputs, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It provides noise-immune signal conditioning for slow-rising or noisy digital lines in industrial control and sensor interface circuits, with propagation delay as low as 13 ns at 4.5 V and hysteresis of 0.68 V typical.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT9115N,112 datasheet, 74HCT9115N,112 pinout, 74HCT9115N,112 application, or 74HCT9115N,112 equivalent, key selection considerations include its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VT+ = 2.37 V, VT− = 1.80 V at VCC = 4.5 V), open-drain output drive capability (IO = ±25 mA), −40 °C to +125 °C temperature range, and SO20 (SOT163-1) package compatibility.
Technical Context
The 74HCT9115N,112 implements nine independent Schmitt-trigger input buffers feeding open-drain NMOS outputs, enabling wired-AND logic and level translation. Its input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
Each channel operates with hysteresis (VH = 0.68 V typ. at 4.5 V), ensuring clean edge generation from slow or noisy signals. The device complies with JEDEC JESD7A (2.0 V–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7 V–3.6 V), and supports static operation across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - TTL-compatible VCC range ensures direct integration into 5 V logic systems without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay | 13 ns typ. at VCC = 4.5 V - enables reliable timing in high-speed bus conditioning and sensor signal cleanup up to ~30 MHz. |
| Input Hysteresis | 0.68 V typ. at VCC = 4.5 V - rejects noise up to ±340 mV on input signals, critical for industrial analog-to-digital front-ends. |
| Output Drive | ±25 mA max. clamping current - supports robust pull-down into loads such as LEDs, relays, or I²C buses with external pull-ups. |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, motor drives, and industrial PLC I/O stages. |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V - withstands handling and board-level transients without protection circuitry overhead. |
| Input Thresholds | VT+ = 2.37 V, VT− = 1.80 V at VCC = 4.5 V - guarantees TTL-level recognition and eliminates metastability in mixed-voltage interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT9115N,112 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO20) with 20 leads and 7.5 mm body width (SOT163-1). Pin 1 is index-marked; pins are arranged in dual rows with GND at pin 10 and VCC at pin 20.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A8 | Data inputs (pins 1–9) | Schmitt-triggered inputs with clamp diodes - accept slow or overvoltage signals up to VCC + 0.5 V with series resistor. |
| GND | Ground reference (pin 10) | Common return path for all internal logic and output sinks - must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| Y0–Y8 | Open-drain outputs (pins 11–19) | Active-low outputs requiring external pull-up - enable wired-AND, I²C-style bus sharing, and voltage-level translation. |
| VCC | Supply voltage (pin 20) | Primary power rail - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 10 mm for stable switching performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VT+ = 2.37 V and VT− = 1.80 V at 4.5 V - ensures reliable recognition of standard 5 V TTL logic levels without ambiguity. |
| Open-drain output architecture | Supports multi-drop bus configurations and level translation - allows Yn outputs to interface with 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V pull-up domains. |
| Unlimited input rise/fall times | Eliminates need for external RC filtering - accepts arbitrarily slow edges (e.g., thermistor or potentiometer wiper signals) without glitches. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events in harsh environments. |
| Wide temperature qualification | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C - validated for use in engine control units, solar inverters, and factory automation hardware. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Legacy Bus Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Converting slow-moving analog sensor outputs (e.g., RTD bridges or potentiometers) into clean digital logic levels for microcontroller ADC trigger inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Schmitt-trigger buffer that cleans up noisy or slew-limited analog-derived signals before digitization. Use Value: Eliminates false triggering caused by EMI or thermal drift, improving measurement repeatability in PLC analog input modules. | Use Scenario: Interfacing legacy 5 V TTL encoder signals to modern 3.3 V FPGA I/O banks via shared open-drain bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating buffer with hysteresis, enabling robust signal integrity across voltage domains. Use Value: Prevents metastability and reduces external component count by replacing discrete resistor-divider + Schmitt circuits. |
| Motor Control Feedback | Wired-AND Safety Logic |
Use Scenario: Conditioning hall-effect sensor outputs in BLDC motor controllers where supply ripple and EMI degrade edge fidelity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noise-immune signal conditioner converting analog hall waveforms into jitter-free square waves for commutation timing. Use Value: Reduces torque ripple and improves efficiency by delivering precise zero-crossing detection despite 100 mV pk-pk noise. | Use Scenario: Implementing hardware safety interlocks where multiple fault conditions (e.g., overtemp, overcurrent, door open) must AND together to disable power stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Wired-AND gate using open-drain outputs tied to common pull-up - any active-low fault pulls bus low. Use Value: Provides fail-safe, cycle-accurate shutdown response without software dependency or single-point failure risk. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schmitt-trigger buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT14D,653 | 6-channel inverter vs. 9-channel non-inverting buffer; same SO14 package and 4.5–5.5 V range. | Requires inversion logic rework; lacks open-drain outputs and input clamp diodes. | Select only if inverting function and lower channel count suffice, and external pull-ups are acceptable for output drive. |
| SN74LVTH162244DGGR | 16-bit non-inverting buffer with TTL inputs but push-pull (not open-drain) outputs; operates down to 2.7 V. | Cannot perform wired-AND or level translation; requires separate bus arbitration design. | Choose when higher channel density and lower VCC are needed, but open-drain functionality is not required. |
Compared with 74HCT9115N,112, the 74HCT14D offers fewer channels and no open-drain flexibility, while SN74LVTH162244DGGR provides more bits but sacrifices bus-sharing capability - making 74HCT9115N,112 uniquely suited for noise-prone, multi-signal wired-AND applications in 5 V industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74HCT9115N,112?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for the 74HCT9115N,112 is +7.0 V, though recommended operation is limited to 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V risks violating TTL input compatibility and may reduce long-term reliability, even if within absolute limits. Always refer to the 74HCT9115N,112 datasheet Section 7 (Limiting Values) for derating guidance above 109 °C.
Does the 74HCT9115N,112 support wired-AND bus configurations?
Yes, the 74HCT9115N,112 supports wired-AND configurations via its nine open-drain outputs (Y0–Y8), each requiring an external pull-up resistor. When multiple 74HCT9115N,112 outputs share a common bus line, the line remains HIGH only if all drivers are inactive (high-impedance); any active LOW output pulls the entire bus LOW - a fundamental requirement for I²C-style arbitration and hardware safety interlocks.
Can the 74HCT9115N,112 interface directly with 3.3 V logic inputs?
No, the 74HCT9115N,112 does not directly drive 3.3 V logic inputs because its open-drain outputs require an external pull-up to a compatible voltage rail. To interface with 3.3 V systems, connect the pull-up resistor to 3.3 V - the 74HCT9115N,112 output will then swing between 0 V and 3.3 V, satisfying VIH and VIL thresholds of 3.3 V CMOS devices. Ensure the 74HCT9115N,112's VCC remains at 4.5–5.5 V for proper input recognition.
What is the typical hysteresis voltage of the 74HCT9115N,112 at 5 V supply?
The typical hysteresis voltage (VH) of the 74HCT9115N,112 is 0.68 V at VCC = 4.5 V and 0.68 V at VCC = 5.0 V (interpolated from datasheet Table 10). This value represents the difference between positive-going (VT+) and negative-going (VT−) input thresholds, providing noise margin against signal bounce or EMI-induced false transitions in industrial environments.
Is the 74HCT9115N,112 qualified for automotive applications?
No, the 74HCT9115N,112 is not automotive-qualified. While it operates from −40 °C to +125 °C, Nexperia explicitly states in Section 15 of the datasheet that non-automotive qualified products like the 74HCT9115N,112 are neither tested nor warranted for automotive use. For AEC-Q100 compliance, select Nexperia's automotive-grade equivalents such as the 74HCT9115PWJ, which undergoes additional stress testing and screening.
