Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV1T86GWH

Overview

74LV1T86GWH from Nexperia is a single-supply, level-translating 2-input XOR gate IC designed for voltage domain bridging in mixed-voltage digital systems. It supports bidirectional logic translation (up/down) across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V CMOS logic levels, features 5 V tolerant inputs, operates from −40 °C to +125 °C, and delivers propagation delays as low as 3.4 ns at 5.0 V/15 pF - enabling use in portable power management and industrial controller I/O interfacing.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV1T86GWH datasheet, 74LV1T86GWH pinout, 74LV1T86GWH application, or 74LV1T86GWH equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-supply translation capability, 5 V input tolerance, guaranteed operation up to +125 °C, TSSOP5 package footprint, and compatibility with 1.2 V–5.0 V logic families in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Technical Context

This device implements a true 2-input Exclusive-OR logic function with level-shifting capability enabled by internally optimized input threshold design. Its input structure accepts voltages up to 7.0 V (absolute max), while output swing is rail-to-rail referenced to VCC - allowing direct interface with controllers operating at mismatched supply rails.

The IC operates across a 1.6 V to 5.5 V VCC range and supports both up-translation (e.g., 1.8 V input → 3.3 V output at VCC = 3.3 V) and down-translation (e.g., 5.0 V input → 3.3 V output at VCC = 3.3 V), with static VIH/VIL thresholds dynamically scaling with VCC per JEDEC-compliant CMOS specifications.

FAQ

Can 74LV1T86GWH translate between 1.2 V and 3.3 V logic levels?

Yes - when VCC = 3.3 V, the device supports up-translation from 1.2 V input to 3.3 V output, as confirmed in Section 2 of the datasheet. Input thresholds scale with VCC, and VIH/VIL specs at 3.3 V (1.35 V min VIH, 0.65 V max VIL) ensure reliable recognition of 1.2 V logic HIGH/LOW states with adequate noise margin.

Is the 74LV1T86GWH pinout compatible with SC-74A (SOT753) packages?

No - 74LV1T86GWH uses the TSSOP5 (SOT353-1) package with 1.25 mm body width and 0.65 mm pitch, whereas SC-74A (SOT753) has 2.7 mm body width and 0.95 mm pitch. Pin numbering (1–5) and functions match, but physical footprint and soldering profiles differ; board layout must be redesigned for package interchange.

Does this device support true bidirectional level translation?

No - it is unidirectional: inputs accept wide-voltage signals (up to 7.0 V), but output swings only from 0 V to VCC. For bidirectional translation (e.g., I²C), a dedicated bus switch or auto-direction-sensing translator is required; this XOR gate functions as a fixed-direction logic-level shifter.

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

The datasheet specifies timing performance up to 30 pF load capacitance (Table 8), with tpd degradation bounded at 15.8 ns (1.8 V/30 pF). Driving >30 pF may cause excessive rise/fall time or output voltage droop; for heavier loads, add a local buffer or reduce trace length to maintain signal integrity within 5 ns jitter budgets.
