Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV1T87GWH

Overview

74LV1T87GWH from Nexperia is a single-supply, level-translating 2-input EXCLUSIVE-NOR gate with 5 V tolerant inputs, supporting bidirectional voltage translation across 1.6 V to 5.5 V supply rails. It delivers true logic-level compatibility between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V CMOS domains and operates from -40 °C to +125 °C. Used in portable logic interfacing where space-constrained I/O bridging is required.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV1T87GWH datasheet, 74LV1T87GWH pinout, 74LV1T87GWH application, or 74LV1T87GWH equivalent, this device serves as a compact, single-gate solution for voltage-domain isolation in mixed-supply systems - especially where low static current (<10 μA), fast propagation delay (as low as 3.4 ns at 5 V/15 pF), and robust ESD protection (HBM >2000 V) are critical selection criteria.

Technical Context

The 74LV1T87GWH implements a fixed EXCLUSIVE-NOR logic function with inputs A and B driving output Y per the truth table: (L,L)→H, (L,H)→L, (H,L)→L, (H,H)→H. Its internal structure enables level translation without external biasing - input thresholds scale with VCC, while 5 V tolerant inputs allow down-translation (e.g., 3.3 V input → 2.5 V output at VCC = 2.5 V).

It operates across a wide VCC range (1.6 V to 5.5 V), with VIH/VIL thresholds dynamically adapting to supply voltage - e.g., VIH ≥ 0.65 V at VCC = 3.0 V and ≥ 2.02 V at VCC = 4.5 V. Propagation delay varies predictably with VCC and load: 7.3 ns (typ) at 1.8 V/15 pF, 4.2 ns (typ) at 3.3 V/15 pF, and 3.4 ns (typ) at 5.0 V/15 pF.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-gate level translating logic applications.

Compared with 74LVC1T87GW, the 74LV1T87GWH offers guaranteed operation up to +125 °C and marginally lower minimum VCC (1.6 V), making it preferable for harsh-environment control logic; versus SN74LVC1G86DBVR, its native EXNOR function eliminates added inversion stages and associated timing uncertainty.

FAQ

What is the maximum input voltage the 74LV1T87GWH can safely accept?

The 74LV1T87GWH features 5 V tolerant inputs with absolute maximum rating of +7.0 V, independent of VCC. This allows safe connection of 3.3 V or 5.0 V signals even when operating at VCC = 1.8 V or 2.5 V - eliminating risk of damage during mixed-rail power-up sequences or signal overshoot.

Does the 74LV1T87GWH require external pull-up or pull-down resistors?

No. The 74LV1T87GWH has CMOS-compatible inputs with negligible leakage (±1 μA max) and defined VIH/VIL thresholds that scale with VCC. Pull resistors are unnecessary unless specific bus-keeping or fail-safe logic states are required - which must be implemented externally per system architecture.

Can the 74LV1T87GWH perform level translation in both directions simultaneously?

No. Translation direction depends on VCC setting: up-translation occurs when input voltage < VCC (e.g., 1.8 V input at VCC = 3.3 V); down-translation occurs when input voltage > VCC (e.g., 3.3 V input at VCC = 2.5 V). Only one direction is active per power configuration - not simultaneous bidirectional translation.

Is the 74LV1T87GWH pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?

Yes. The 74LV1T87GWH (TSSOP5/SOT353-1), 74LV1T87GV (SC-74A/SOT753), and 74LV1T87GX (X2SON5/SOT1226-3) share identical pin numbering and function mapping (A, B, GND, Y, VCC), enabling drop-in replacement across form factors without schematic or layout changes.
