Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV1T04GWH

Overview

74LV1T04GWH from Nexperia is a single-supply CMOS level-translating inverter supporting bidirectional voltage translation across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V logic domains. It features 5 V tolerant inputs, operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V supply, delivers propagation delays as low as 3.1 ns (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF), and is qualified for -40 °C to +125 °C ambient operation - enabling use in portable power management interfaces between 1.8 V sensors and 3.3 V microcontrollers.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV1T04GWH datasheet, 74LV1T04GWH pinout, 74LV1T04GWH application, or 74LV1T04GWH equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage tolerance (up to 7 V absolute max), output drive capability (±5.5 mA at 3.3 V), static current consumption (<10 μA at 1.8–5.0 V), thermal performance in TSSOP5 (derates 3.3 mW/K above 74 °C), and compatibility with mixed-voltage I²C, GPIO, and reset signal routing in space-constrained industrial controllers.

Technical Context

This device implements a single-stage inverting buffer with rail-referenced CMOS output stages, where output logic levels strictly track VCC - enabling precise level up-translation (e.g., 1.8 V input → 3.3 V output at VCC = 3.3 V) and level down-translation (e.g., 5.0 V input → 2.5 V output at VCC = 2.5 V). Its input threshold adapts dynamically with VCC, supporting VIH/VIL windows compliant with both LVTTL and LVCMOS standards across all supported supply voltages.

No internal biasing or external resistors are required: the 5 V tolerant input structure uses gate-oxide protected NMOS transistors, while the output stage provides symmetrical rise/fall times (tPLH ≈ tPHL) and maintains VOL ≤ 0.252 V and VOH ≥ VCC − 0.25 V under full rated load conditions. ESD robustness meets HBM >2000 V and CDM >1000 V per JEDEC JS-001/JS-002.

FAQ

Can 74LV1T04GWH translate 5 V inputs down to 1.8 V outputs?

Yes - when VCC = 1.8 V, the device supports 5 V tolerant inputs and produces 1.8 V CMOS-compatible outputs. The input structure withstands up to +7.0 V (absolute max), and the output swing is rail-referenced to VCC, delivering VOH ≥ 1.45 V and VOL ≤ 0.25 V under 2 mA load per datasheet Table 7.

Is pin 1 of 74LV1T04GWH internally connected?

No - pin 1 is explicitly marked "n.c." (not connected) in the functional diagram and pin description table. It has no internal bond wire or silicon connection and must remain unconnected or tied to GND for mechanical stability; routing traces to it provides no electrical benefit.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?

The 74LV1T04GWH is characterized up to 30 pF load capacitance (CL) across all VCC values, with propagation delays specified for both 15 pF and 30 pF in Table 8. Driving >30 pF may increase tpd beyond datasheet limits and degrade edge monotonicity, especially at VCC ≤ 2.5 V.

Does this part support hot-swap or live-insertion into powered systems?

Yes - its 5 V tolerant inputs and latch-up immunity (>250 mA per JESD78 Class II) allow safe insertion into live 3.3 V or 5 V backplanes. However, VCC must be powered before applying input signals to avoid violating the −0.5 V minimum VI rating during power sequencing.
