Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC04ADB,112

Overview

74LVC04ADB,112 from Nexperia is a hex inverter logic IC with Schmitt-trigger inputs, 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply range, ±24 mA output drive, and operation up to +125 °C - used for signal inversion and level translation in mixed-voltage digital interfaces such as industrial control I/O buffers and microcontroller GPIO conditioning.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC04ADB,112 datasheet, 74LVC04ADB,112 pinout, 74LVC04ADB,112 application, or 74LVC04ADB,112 equivalent, this device supports robust noise immunity via hysteresis, operates across wide voltage rails, delivers fast propagation delays down to 2.0 ns at 3.3 V, and enables reliable 3.3 V/5 V interface bridging without external level shifters.

Technical Context

This CMOS hex inverter implements six independent inverting buffers with Schmitt-trigger inputs, enabling tolerance to slow-rising signals and reducing susceptibility to noise-induced switching. Each gate features rail-to-rail output swing and input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V relative to GND.

It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5A (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7–3.6 V), and supports full industrial temperature operation from –40 °C to +125 °C with guaranteed static and dynamic performance across all voltage ranges.

FAQ

Is 74LVC04ADB,112 pin-compatible with other 74LVC04A variants?

Yes - all 74LVC04A variants share identical pinout (14-pin SO, TSSOP, SSOP, DHVQFN). The 74LVC04ADB,112 uses SSOP14 (SOT337-1), matching pin 1 (1A) through pin 14 (VCC) with functional equivalence across packages. No redesign is needed when substituting within the same package type.

Can 74LVC04ADB,112 safely interface a 5 V microcontroller output with a 1.8 V FPGA input?

Yes - its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and with VCC = 1.8 V, it produces valid 0 V / 1.8 V CMOS outputs. This allows direct connection from 5 V MCU GPIO to 1.8 V FPGA inputs without external level shifters, provided output loading stays within ±8 mA limits per pin.

What is the maximum clock frequency supported for toggling inputs?

While not a clocked device, the 74LVC04ADB,112 supports input signal transitions up to ~100 MHz under typical conditions (VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF), based on 2.0 ns propagation delay and 1.5 ns output skew. For reliable operation, maintain input rise/fall times ≤10 ns/V per datasheet Table 5.

Does the SSOP14 package require thermal vias or special PCB layout?

No - the SOT337-1 SSOP14 package has no thermal pad and relies on standard copper pour on the GND pin (pin 7) and VCC (pin 14) for heat dissipation. Use ≥2 mm² copper area per power pin and place 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitors within 3 mm of VCC/GND for optimal noise immunity.
