NXP Semiconductors 74LV04D/AUJ

Overview

74LV04D/AUJ from Nexperia is a hex CMOS inverter IC operating across 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering six independent logic inversion functions with TTL-compatible inputs at VCC ≥ 2.7 V and guaranteed operation down to -40 °C to +125 °C. It features input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC via current-limiting resistors, low ground bounce (< 0.8 V at 3.3 V), and JEDEC-compliant voltage standards including JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V).

For engineers reviewing the 74LV04D/AUJ datasheet, 74LV04D/AUJ pinout, 74LV04D/AUJ application, or 74LV04D/AUJ equivalent, key selection considerations include its wide VCC range (1.0–5.5 V), SO14 package compatibility, industrial temperature rating (-40 °C to +125 °C), and static/dynamic performance validated per JESD78 latch-up and JS-001/JS-002 ESD standards.

Technical Context

The 74LV04D/AUJ implements six independent CMOS inverter stages with rail-to-rail output swing and input clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance. Its logic function is strictly inverting (L→H, H→L), with propagation delays as low as 6 ns at VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 15 pF.

It supports mixed-voltage system interfacing: accepts TTL-level inputs when VCC is 2.7–3.6 V, complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7 through JESD36 across four voltage bands, and maintains specified VIH/VIL thresholds across 1.2 V to 5.5 V supply ranges.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for 74LV04D/AUJ?

The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for 74LV04D/AUJ is +7.0 V, but the recommended operating range is 1.0 V to 5.5 V per Table 5. Operation above 5.5 V voids functional guarantees and risks permanent damage, even with brief transients.

Does 74LV04D/AUJ support 5 V TTL input levels?

Yes - 74LV04D/AUJ accepts TTL input levels when VCC is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V, as confirmed in Section 2. Features and benefits. At VCC = 3.3 V, VIH is guaranteed ≥2.0 V and VIL ≤0.8 V, fully compatible with standard 5 V TTL output thresholds.

Can 74LV04D/AUJ operate reliably at 1.2 V supply?

Yes - 74LV04D/AUJ is fully specified down to 1.2 V (Table 6), with VOH ≥0.9 V and VOL ≤0.3 V at -40 °C to +85 °C. Static characteristics are guaranteed from 1.2 V, and functional operation is validated to 1.0 V with inputs at GND or VCC.

What is the thermal derating behavior of 74LV04D/AUJ in SO14 package?

For the SOT108-1 (SO14) package, total power dissipation (Ptot) derates linearly at 10.1 mW/K above 100 °C (Table 4). At 125 °C ambient, Ptot is reduced to 500 mW − (25 K × 10.1 mW/K) = 247.5 mW, requiring careful thermal design for sustained high-drive operation.

Is 74LV04D/AUJ pin-compatible with older 74HC04 variants?

No - while both are hex inverters in SO14 packages, 74LV04D/AUJ has different DC and AC specifications: wider VCC range (1.0–5.5 V vs. 2.0–6.0 V), lower drive strength (±6 mA vs. ±7.8 mA), and distinct VIH/VIL thresholds. Direct substitution may cause timing or noise margin issues in HC-optimized designs.
