Product details
Overview
74LCX07MTR from STMicroelectronics is a low-voltage CMOS hex buffer with open-drain outputs and 5 V tolerant inputs, operating from 2.0 V to 3.6 V. It delivers 5.2 ns max propagation delay at 3 V, ±24 mA output drive, and symmetrical output impedance-enabling direct interfacing with 5 V buses while powered at 3.3 V in PCI-compliant systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LCX07MTR datasheet, 74LCX07MTR pinout, 74LCX07MTR application, or 74LCX07MTR equivalent, this device is selected for level-shifting, bus buffering, and wired-OR logic in mixed-voltage industrial and automotive control subsystems where input tolerance, speed-power balance, and latch-up immunity are critical.
Technical Context
The 74LCX07MTR implements six independent open-drain buffers using sub-micron C2MOS technology, with each stage featuring internal clamping diodes and power-down protection on all I/O pins. Its input structure guarantees operation up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling safe connection to legacy 5 V signal sources without external resistors.
Output behavior follows standard open-drain logic: low-state drive (IOL = 24 mA min at VCC = 3 V) and high-impedance state (IOZ ≤ ±5 μA), requiring external pull-up for HIGH assertion. Propagation delays (tPLZ/tPZL) are characterized under 50 pF load and 500 Ω termination, with skew <1.0 ns between outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - supports 3.3 V system rails with margin for supply variation |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface to 5 V TTL/CMOS without level shifters |
| tPD (Max) | 5.2 ns at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V, CL = 50 pF - matches AC/ACT speed at half the supply voltage |
| IOL / IOH (Min) | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - drives standard PCI bus loads and multiple CMOS inputs |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000 V - exceeds MIL-STD-883 Class 3A for robust handling in assembly and field use |
| Latch-up Immunity | >500 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events |
| Input Leakage (II) | ±5 μA at VI = 0–5.5 V - minimizes loading on upstream drivers in high-impedance networks |
Pinout & Package
74LCX07MTR is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (SO-14) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, compliant with ECOPACK® environmental specifications. The body dimensions are 8.55–8.75 mm × 3.8–4.0 mm × 1.35–1.75 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 (1A–6A) | Data inputs | 5 V tolerant CMOS inputs accepting 0–5.5 V; internally clamped to VCC and GND |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 (1Y–6Y) | Open-drain outputs | Active-low drivers with 24 mA sink capability; require external pull-up for HIGH |
| 7 | GND | Reference ground for all I/O and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection |
| 14 | VCC | Primary power supply (2.0–3.6 V); powers internal logic and defines output LOW threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V tolerant inputs | Enables seamless integration into mixed-voltage systems without external level translators |
| Symmetrical output drive (|IOH| = IOL) | Ensures consistent timing and noise margins across rising/falling edges in wired-OR configurations |
| Power-down protection | Prevents back-driving and current leakage when VCC = 0 V, supporting hot-swap and partial power-down |
| PCI bus compliance at 24 mA | Meets electrical requirements for peripheral component interconnect signaling in legacy computing platforms |
| Low ICC quiescent current (10 μA) | Reduces static power consumption in battery-backed or always-on monitoring circuits |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Buffering and level-shifting digital sensor signals (e.g., switch inputs, encoder pulses) from 5 V sensors to 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Open-drain hex buffer providing bidirectional voltage translation and wired-OR aggregation of multiple dry-contact inputs. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete MOSFET translators; 5.2 ns delay ensures real-time response in cycle-critical I/O scanning. |
Use Scenario: Driving LED status indicators and relay coils from a 3.3 V CAN microcontroller in vehicle door modules, where inputs originate from 5 V LIN or analog sensor interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output driver with 24 mA sink capability and 5 V tolerant inputs, enabling direct connection to legacy 5 V subsystems. Use Value: Reduces BOM count by consolidating six independent drivers; latch-up immunity (>500 mA) withstands automotive load dump transients. |
| Legacy PCI Slot Interface | Consumer Set-Top Box Power Sequencing |
|
Use Scenario: Implementing active-low enable signals and bus arbitration lines in add-in cards compatible with 32-bit 5 V PCI slots operating at 3.3 V core logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hex open-drain buffer generating PCI-compatible control signals (e.g., FRAME#, IRDY#, STOP#) with precise skew control (<1.0 ns). Use Value: Meets PCI specification timing and drive strength requirements without external pull-ups exceeding 500 Ω. |
Use Scenario: Controlling power-enable sequencing for multi-rail SoC subsystems (e.g., HDMI PHY, tuner, memory) in digital TV receivers, where 5 V standby rails monitor 3.3 V main domain readiness. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating buffer coordinating power-on reset and rail-enable handshaking between isolated voltage domains. Use Value: Input tolerance allows monitoring of 5 V standby signals while powered from 3.3 V main rail; low leakage (±5 μA) avoids false triggering during deep sleep. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex open-drain buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC07A (Texas Instruments) | Same 2.0–3.6 V VCC range and 5 V tolerant inputs; tPD = 5.5 ns (max), IOL = 24 mA - nearly identical AC/DC specs | Qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (-40/+105 °C); wider temp range than 74LCX07MTR's -40/+85 °C | Select for automotive applications requiring extended temperature operation or TI-aligned supply chain |
| 74AHC07 (Nexperia) | Higher VCC range (2.0–5.5 V); no 5 V input tolerance - inputs limited to VCC; tPD = 6.0 ns (max) at 3.3 V | Not suitable for 5 V input interfacing without external clamping; better suited for single-rail 3.3 V or 5 V systems | Select only when full 5 V input tolerance is unnecessary and higher VCC flexibility is required |
Compared with SN74LVC07A and 74AHC07, the 74LCX07MTR uniquely combines guaranteed 5 V input tolerance with -40/+85 °C operation and PCI-compliant drive strength at 3.3 V, making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial and entry-level automotive designs where mixed-voltage interoperability is mandatory.

FAQ
Can 74LCX07MTR drive a 5 V pull-up resistor while powered at 3.3 V?
Yes. Its open-drain outputs tolerate up to VCC + 0.5 V on the output pin, and its 5 V tolerant inputs allow direct connection to 5 V signal sources. When used with a 5 V pull-up, the output HIGH level equals the pull-up voltage (5 V), while LOW is actively driven to ≤0.55 V at 24 mA sink current - confirmed in Table 6 (VOL) and Table 4 (VO rating).
Is 74LCX07MTR suitable for hot-swap applications?
Yes. It features power-down protection on all inputs and outputs, ensuring no back-current flows into VCC when unpowered. Per Table 4, IO and IIK ratings remain valid down to VCC = 0 V, and Ioff leakage is limited to 10 μA when VCC = 0 V and VI or VO = 5.5 V - enabling safe insertion into live backplanes.
What is the maximum capacitive load the 74LCX07MTR can drive reliably?
The datasheet specifies dynamic performance (tPLZ/tPZL) with CL = 50 pF and RL = 500 Ω. COUT is measured at 14 pF (Table 9), and CPD is 4.3 pF. While not explicitly rated beyond 50 pF, stable operation up to ~75 pF is achievable with controlled edge rates (dt/dv ≤ 10 ns/V) and proper PCB layout - verified via waveform analysis in Figure 5 and test circuit in Figure 4.
Does 74LCX07MTR meet automotive qualification standards?
No - the 74LCX07MTR is rated for -40/+85 °C and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. However, ST offers the automotive-grade 74LCX07YMTR variant (same SO-14 package, marking "LCX07Y") qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 and screened per AEC-Q001/Q002, intended for body electronics and infotainment subsystems requiring automotive reliability.
