Product details

Overview

74LVC06AD,118 from Nexperia is a hex inverter IC with six independent open-drain outputs, designed for level translation and wired-logic interfacing between 1.2 V–5.5 V supply domains. It supports mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V logic driving 5 V bus lines), operates from –40 °C to +125 °C, and delivers <2.5 ns propagation delay at 5 V with 32 mA sink capability per output.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC06AD,118 datasheet, 74LVC06AD,118 pinout, 74LVC06AD,118 application, or 74LVC06AD,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include open-drain drive strength, 5 V-tolerant inputs, wide V_CC range (1.2–5.5 V), temperature grade (–40 °C to +125 °C), and SO14 package compatibility with legacy 3.9 mm body width layouts.

Technical Context

This device implements six independent CMOS inverting buffers with true open-drain outputs-no internal pull-up-enabling active-LOW wired-OR and active-HIGH wired-AND bus configurations. Each gate accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of V_CC, enabling robust level shifting without external components.

It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A, JESD8-5A, and JESD8-C/JESD36 across 1.65–3.6 V V_CC ranges and features ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM and 1000 V CDM, supporting industrial and extended-temperature applications.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CC Range	1.2 V to 5.5 V - enables single-supply operation across low-voltage microcontrollers and legacy 5 V peripherals.
Input Voltage Tolerance	Up to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5 V TTL/CMOS sources while powered from 1.8 V or 3.3 V rails.
Output Sink Current	32 mA per channel at V_CC = 4.5–5.5 V - sufficient to drive LEDs, MOSFET gates, or standard I²C/SMBus bus loads.
t_PZL/t_PLZ	0.7–3.5 ns (typ. 1.5 ns) - ensures fast signal inversion critical for timing-sensitive control and address decoding.
Operating Temperature	–40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and high-reliability embedded systems.
Static Power Consumption	≤40 μA ICC at V_CC = 5.5 V - supports ultra-low-quiescent-power designs in battery-backed or energy-constrained nodes.

Pinout & Package

74LVC06AD,118 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-lead, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, with gull-wing leads and pin 1 index marker.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13	Input (1A–6A)	CMOS-compatible digital inputs accepting 0–5.5 V; no level-shifting circuitry required.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12	Open-drain Output (1Y–6Y)	True open-drain - requires external pull-up; supports wired-OR, I²C, SMBus, and interrupt bus sharing.
7	GND	Ground reference for all logic thresholds and power return path.
14	V_CC	Single supply rail powering internal logic; sets output HIGH threshold and noise margins.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
5 V-tolerant inputs	Enables seamless interface between 1.2 V/1.8 V/3.3 V controllers and 5 V peripherals without discrete level shifters.
Wide V_CC range (1.2–5.5 V)	Supports operation across multiple voltage domains in multi-rail systems, reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
Open-drain outputs with 32 mA sink	Allows direct connection to shared buses (e.g., I²C), LED anodes, or N-channel MOSFET gates without current-limiting resistors.
–40 °C to +125 °C operation	Validated for extended-temperature environments including motor control enclosures and outdoor industrial gateways.
HBM ESD >2000 V / CDM >1000 V	Reduces need for external ESD protection on board-level I/O traces, lowering system cost and footprint.

Applications

I²C Bus Level Translation

GPIO-Driven LED Matrix Control

Use Scenario: Translating signals between a 3.3 V microcontroller's I²C port and a 5 V sensor node on the same bus.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as bidirectional open-drain buffer; each inverter handles SDA or SCL line with external pull-ups to 5 V.

Use Value: Eliminates dedicated I²C level translators; leverages native 5 V-tolerant inputs and open-drain outputs to maintain bus integrity and timing compliance.

Use Scenario: Driving common-anode LED rows in a 6×8 multiplexed display using a 1.8 V FPGA GPIO bank.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverts and sinks current from FPGA outputs to LED cathodes; open-drain configuration prevents backfeed during row scanning.

Use Value: Enables direct drive of 5 V LEDs from low-voltage logic with precise timing control and no shoot-through risk.

Wired-OR Interrupt Aggregation

Legacy Parallel Bus Interface

Use Scenario: Combining interrupt outputs from four peripheral ICs onto a single MCU IRQ line using active-LOW wired-OR logic.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each inverter inverts and conditions a peripheral's active-HIGH interrupt into an open-drain active-LOW signal tied to a shared pull-up.

Use Value: Reduces MCU pin count and simplifies firmware interrupt handling by collapsing multiple sources into one prioritized line.

Use Scenario: Interfacing a modern 3.3 V SoC with a legacy 5 V parallel EEPROM or SRAM requiring inverted chip-select or write-enable signals.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides six independent, fast (<3.5 ns) inverted control signals compatible with 5 V bus timing requirements.

Use Value: Maintains setup/hold timing margins while eliminating level-shifter ICs and associated routing congestion.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter with open-drain applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
SN74LVC06APWRE4	TSSOP14 package (4.4 mm width); identical electrical specs and pinout; lower thermal resistance than SO14.	Better suited for space-constrained PCBs where SO14 footprint is unavailable or thermal performance is critical.	Select when board area is limited or junction temperature must be minimized under sustained 32 mA load.
74AHC06PW,118	Higher V_CC max (5.5 V same), but only 2.0 V min; no 5 V input tolerance; faster propagation (1.9 ns typ at 5 V).	Not suitable for mixed-voltage translation; limited to 2.0–5.5 V systems with matched rail voltages.	Choose only if operating exclusively at ≥2.0 V and speed is prioritized over voltage flexibility.

Compared with SN74LVC06APWRE4, the 74LVC06AD,118 offers identical functionality in a wider-body SO14 package better suited for manual assembly and thermal mass in high-reliability applications; versus 74AHC06PW,118, it provides essential 5 V-tolerant inputs for heterogeneous voltage domain bridging-making it irreplaceable in mixed-rail designs.

FAQ

Can 74LVC06AD,118 drive an I²C bus directly?

Yes-it supports I²C operation when external pull-up resistors are connected to the open-drain outputs (pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12). Its 5 V-tolerant inputs accept standard I²C voltage levels, and its 32 mA sink capability exceeds I²C bus capacitance limits up to 400 pF at 400 kHz. No additional level-shifting circuitry is needed.

What is the maximum sink current per output at 1.8 V V_CC?

At V_CC = 1.8 V and T_A = 25 °C, the typical output low voltage (V_OL) is ≤0.45 V at 4 mA sink, per Table 6. The absolute maximum rated output current remains ±50 mA, but practical design limits are governed by V_OL specifications and thermal derating-4 mA is the guaranteed performance point at 1.8 V.

Is the SO14 package (SOT108-1) RoHS and REACH compliant?

Yes-74LVC06AD,118 is manufactured in full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Nexperia confirms lead-free terminations, halogen-free molding compound, and full substance declaration per IPC-1752A. Certificate of Compliance is available upon request.

Does this device require external pull-up resistors on all outputs?

Yes-open-drain outputs cannot source current; each output (1Y–6Y) must be pulled up externally to a defined voltage rail (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) via a resistor. Typical values range from 1 kΩ (for speed-critical buses) to 10 kΩ (for low-power GPIO conditioning), selected based on rise time, bus capacitance, and sink current requirements.
