NXP Semiconductors 74LV04D,112

Overview

74LV04D,112 from Nexperia is a hex CMOS inverter IC operating across 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering six independent logic inversion stages with TTL-compatible inputs at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, typical propagation delay of 6 ns at 3.3 V/15 pF, and output drive capability of ±12 mA. It is used in level translation, signal conditioning, and clock buffering in industrial control and low-voltage embedded interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV04D,112 datasheet, 74LV04D,112 pinout, 74LV04D,112 application, or 74LV04D,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage flexibility (1.0–5.5 V), guaranteed operation down to 1.0 V, SO14 package thermal performance up to +125 °C, and input clamp diode support for overvoltage-tolerant interfacing.

Technical Context

The 74LV04D implements six independent unbuffered inverter gates using standard CMOS topology with input clamp diodes enabling current-limited interface to voltages exceeding VCC. Each gate exhibits symmetrical input thresholds and rail-to-rail output swing under load.

It operates across two extended temperature ranges (−40 °C to +85 °C and −40 °C to +125 °C), complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7 through JESD36, and supports dynamic power calculation via CPD = 21 pF at 1 MHz.

Key Specifications

FAQ

Can 74LV04D,112 operate reliably at 1.0 V supply?

Yes. The device is fully specified and guaranteed to function at VCC = 1.0 V, with static characteristics validated down to this level. Input thresholds scale with VCC, and propagation delay increases predictably (40 ns typical at 1.2 V), making it suitable for ultra-low-power applications where other logic families fail.

What is the purpose of the input clamp diodes in 74LV04D,112?

The input clamp diodes connect each input to VCC and GND, enabling safe interface to signals exceeding VCC (up to VCC + 0.5 V) when used with external current-limiting resistors. This eliminates the need for discrete protection diodes in mixed-voltage I/O paths, reducing BOM count and board area.

Does 74LV04D,112 support 5 V TTL input levels?

Yes-only when VCC is set between 2.7 V and 3.6 V. Within that range, the device accepts standard TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) without external biasing. At VCC = 5.5 V, input thresholds scale to 0.7×VCC and 0.3×VCC, so TTL compatibility is lost.

How does thermal derating work for the SO14 package?

For the SOT108-1 (SO14) package, total power dissipation (Ptot) derates linearly at 10.1 mW/K above +100 °C. At +125 °C ambient, maximum allowable Ptot drops to 475 mW from the 500 mW rating at ≤100 °C, based on the published derating slope and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
