Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV1T04GVH

Overview

74LV1T04GV from Nexperia is a single-supply, level-translating inverting buffer IC designed for bidirectional voltage translation between 1.2 V–5.0 V logic domains. It supports up-translation (e.g., 1.8 V input → 3.3 V output at V_CC = 3.3 V) and down-translation (e.g., 5.0 V input → 3.3 V output at V_CC = 3.3 V), features 5 V tolerant inputs, operates across -40 °C to +125 °C, and delivers propagation delays as low as 3.1 ns (V_CC = 5.0 V, C_L = 15 pF). It is used in portable power-constrained interfaces between mixed-voltage microcontrollers and peripherals.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV1T04GV datasheet, 74LV1T04GV pinout, 74LV1T04GV application, or 74LV1T04GV equivalent, key selection criteria include verified level translation directionality (up/down), 5 V input tolerance with sub-1.8 V V_CC support, guaranteed operation over extended temperature, propagation delay vs. load capacitance trade-offs, and SC-74A (SOT753) package thermal derating behavior.

Technical Context

This device implements a single CMOS inverter stage with input threshold voltages dynamically scaled to V_CC, enabling reliable switching across 1.6 V–5.5 V supply ranges. Its input structure includes robust ESD protection (HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V) and 5 V tolerance independent of V_CC, allowing safe interfacing with higher-voltage buses while powered from lower supplies.

The output stage is rail-to-rail CMOS, referenced strictly to V_CC, delivering VOH ≥ V_CC – 0.25 V and VOL ≤ 0.35 V under full drive conditions. Static current consumption remains below 10 μA across all supported V_CC values and temperature extremes (-40 °C to +125 °C), making it suitable for always-on signal conditioning in battery-powered systems.

FAQ

Can 74LV1T04GV translate 5 V inputs when powered from 1.8 V?

Yes. Its inputs are explicitly 5 V tolerant across the full V_CC range (1.6 V–5.5 V), meaning a 5 V signal applied to pin 2 (A) is safely accepted and correctly inverted even when V_CC = 1.8 V. This enables direct interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals without external clamping diodes or resistors.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive while maintaining timing specs?

The datasheet guarantees t_PD performance up to 30 pF load capacitance across all V_CC values. At V_CC = 3.3 V, t_PD remains ≤6.3 ns (max) with C_L = 30 pF. Driving >30 pF will increase propagation delay nonlinearly and may violate setup/hold margins in synchronous interfaces.

Is pin 1 (n.c.) required to be left floating, or can it be tied to GND/V_CC?

Pin 1 is internally not connected and must remain unconnected - neither tied to GND nor V_CC. Soldering or routing to any net risks mechanical stress or unintended coupling. The datasheet confirms no internal bond wire exists; PCB layout should omit pad metallization or apply solder mask coverage per Nexperia's SOT753 footprint guidelines.

How does thermal derating work for the SC-74A package at elevated ambient temperatures?

For the SOT753 (SC-74A) package, total power dissipation (P_tot) derates linearly at 3.8 mW/K above +85 °C. At +125 °C ambient, P_tot is reduced to 109 mW (250 mW – 3.8 mW/K × 40 K). Designers must limit dynamic power (via CPD, frequency, and load) and ensure adequate PCB copper area to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C.
