Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV1T87GXH

Overview

74LV1T87GXH from Nexperia is a single-supply, level-translating 2-input EXCLUSIVE-NOR gate in X2SON5 (SOT1226-3) package, supporting bidirectional voltage translation between 1.2 V–5.0 V logic domains. It features 5 V tolerant inputs, operates from -40 °C to +125 °C, and delivers propagation delays as low as 3.4 ns (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF), enabling use in mixed-voltage I/O interfacing for portable microcontroller peripherals.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV1T87GXH datasheet, 74LV1T87GXH pinout, 74LV1T87GXH application, or 74LV1T87GXH equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-supply level translation capability, 5 V input tolerance, guaranteed operation across 1.6 V–5.5 V supply range, and thermal-enhanced X2SON5 footprint for space-constrained PCBs.

Technical Context

This device implements a true EXCLUSIVE-NOR logic function with inputs A and B driving output Y per the truth table (LL→H, LH→L, HL→L, HH→H). Its internal architecture enables level translation without external biasing: input thresholds scale with VCC, while output swing tracks VCC precisely-enabling interoperability between 1.8 V controllers and 3.3 V peripherals.

The 5 V tolerant inputs allow safe connection to higher-voltage buses even when VCC is as low as 1.8 V, and the wide operating supply range (1.6 V–5.5 V) supports direct integration into multi-rail systems such as USB-C PD controllers, sensor hubs, and battery-powered IoT nodes where rail consolidation is critical.

FAQ

What is the minimum VCC required for reliable operation of the 74LV1T87GXH?

The 74LV1T87GXH is specified down to 1.6 V VCC per its recommended operating conditions. At 1.6 V, input thresholds remain valid (VIH ≈ 0.94 V, VIL ≈ 0.55 V), and propagation delay increases to ~15.8 ns (CL = 30 pF), maintaining functional correctness in ultra-low-power modes.

Can the 74LV1T87GXH translate 5 V inputs to 1.8 V outputs without external components?

Yes. With VCC = 1.8 V, the 5 V tolerant inputs accept 5 V signals safely, and the output swings between 0 V and 1.8 V CMOS levels. No pull-up/down resistors or external level shifters are needed-this is intrinsic to its single-supply translating architecture.

Is the X2SON5 (SOT1226-3) package compatible with standard reflow profiles?

Yes. The X2SON5 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C). Its thermal pad design ensures uniform heat transfer and minimizes tombstoning risk on fine-pitch layouts.

How does the 74LV1T87GXH handle floating inputs?

Inputs are not internally biased; floating inputs cause undefined output states and increased ICC due to intermediate voltage operation. External pull-up or pull-down resistors (e.g., 10 kΩ to VCC or GND) are required for unused inputs to ensure deterministic logic behavior and minimize power consumption.
