Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC07APW-Q100J

Overview

74LVC07APW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade hex buffer with six independent open-drain outputs, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and 5 V-tolerant I/O operating from 1.2 V to 5.5 V supply. It enables level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Key confirmed parameters: -40 °C to +125 °C operation, 5.5 V input overvoltage tolerance, <3.5 ns max tPLZ at 5 V, 24 mA sink capability per output, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC07APW-Q100 datasheet, 74LVC07APW-Q100 pinout, 74LVC07APW-Q100 application, or 74LVC07APW-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (TSSOP14/SOT402-1), terminal-level circuit roles, real-world automotive use cases, and validated alternative parts with documented functional differences - all derived exclusively from Nexperia's official Rev. 5 product data sheet.

Technical Context

This device implements six identical unidirectional buffer stages, each with Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis (typ. 0.3 V at 3.3 V) to reject noise on slow-rising signals and open-drain NMOS output stage enabling wired-AND bus configurations. Input thresholds scale with VCC per JEDEC standards JESD8-7A/5A/C.

Each output supports up to 32 mA sink current at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V with VOL ≤ 0.55 V, while static leakage remains ≤ ±20 μA across temperature. Propagation delays are fully characterized from 1.2 V to 5.5 V, with tPZL/tPLZ asymmetry minimized via matched internal drive strength.

FAQ

Can 74LVC07APW-Q100 drive I²C bus lines directly?

Yes - its open-drain outputs and 5 V-tolerant inputs allow direct connection to I²C SDA/SCL lines. Each output can sink up to 32 mA, exceeding standard I²C 3 mA requirement. External pull-ups to 3.3 V or 5 V are mandatory; Schmitt-trigger inputs suppress noise on shared bus lines without additional filtering.

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

At VCC = 1.8 V, the device guarantees 4 mA sink current with VOL ≤ 0.45 V (per Table 6). This is sufficient for low-power logic interfacing and LED indication in battery-operated modules, though drive strength scales with supply voltage as expected for CMOS-based buffers.

Does the TSSOP14 package require thermal pad connection to ground?

No - the exposed pad in SOT402-1 is non-functional and electrically isolated. Nexperia specifies it may remain floating or be connected to GND for mechanical stability, but no thermal or electrical benefit is provided by grounding it. Standard solder paste stencil design applies.

How does Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis improve noise immunity in automotive environments?

The hysteresis (0.3–0.7 V depending on VCC) creates separate input thresholds for rising and falling edges, preventing multiple toggles due to EMI-induced ringing on long harnesses or switch bounce. This eliminates need for external RC filters on wake-up lines or sensor inputs in high-noise powertrain applications.
