Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV03D,118

Overview

74LV03D,118 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input NAND gate IC with open-drain outputs, designed for level-shifting and wired-AND bus interfacing in mixed-voltage systems. It operates across 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply, supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and delivers propagation delay as low as 8 ns at 3.3 V/15 pF - used in I²C bus pull-up control, address decoding, and reset signal conditioning.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV03D,118 datasheet, 74LV03D,118 pinout, 74LV03D,118 application, or 74LV03D,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include open-drain output drive capability, wide VCC tolerance, input clamp diode protection, and JEDEC-compliant ESD robustness (HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V).

Technical Context

The 74LV03D implements four independent CMOS NAND gates, each with open-drain output topology enabling flexible pull-up configuration and voltage-level translation between logic families. Inputs feature integrated clamp diodes, allowing safe interface to signals exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used.

Its static and dynamic behavior is fully characterized from 1.0 V to 5.5 V, with guaranteed operation down to 1.0 V (input levels referenced to GND or VCC). Propagation delay scales inversely with supply voltage - 50 ns at 1.2 V, 13 ns max at 5.5 V - and power dissipation remains under 20 μA typical ICC at 5.5 V.

FAQ

Can 74LV03D,118 drive a 5 V pull-up while operating from a 3.3 V supply?

Yes. Its open-drain outputs support VO(max) = 6.0 V, allowing external pull-up to 5 V even when VCC = 3.3 V. Input clamp diodes enable safe interface to the 5 V bus via current-limiting resistors - confirmed in Section 1 and Table 4 of the datasheet.

What is the maximum sink current per output at 125 °C ambient?

At Tamb = +125 °C, the maximum guaranteed sink current is 12 mA (per output) with VO ≤ 0.65 V at VCC = 4.5 V, as specified in Table 6 (VOL test condition). Derating applies above 100 °C per Ptot linear derating rule (10.1 mW/K).

Does 74LV03D,118 support true wired-AND functionality across all four gates?

Yes. All four outputs are open-drain and electrically isolated - enabling direct wire-OR (wired-AND in active-low logic) connections. No internal contention occurs, and output leakage (IOZ ≤ ±20 μA at 3.6 V) ensures clean high-impedance states during OFF periods.

Is there a pin-compatible replacement with push-pull outputs?

No - the 74LV03D,118's open-drain architecture is intrinsic to its package and function. Push-pull alternatives like SN74LVC03DR share the same SO14 pinout but differ electrically (no clamp diodes, narrower VCC range, no 6 V output tolerance), requiring schematic and layout review before substitution.
