Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC1G02GN,132

Overview

74LVC1G02GN,132 from Nexperia is a single 2-input NOR gate logic IC in ultra-small XSON8 (1.35 × 1.15 mm) package, operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, with ±24 mA output drive, 3.7 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, and designed for level-shifting and signal inversion in space-constrained portable interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC1G02GN,132 datasheet, 74LVC1G02GN,132 pinout, 74LVC1G02GN,132 application, or 74LVC1G02GN,132 equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage range compatibility, output drive strength for capacitive bus loading, propagation delay budget in timing-critical paths, and footprint constraints in high-density PCB layouts.

Technical Context

This device implements standard CMOS NOR logic with Schmitt-trigger inputs omitted - all inputs are TTL-compatible and referenced to V_CC. It supports mixed-voltage interfacing between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V domains via its wide V_CC range and rail-to-rail input thresholds.

Output stages use push-pull configuration with symmetrical rise/fall times and no internal pull-ups or pull-downs. The device is unidirectional, non-inverting in function only when used as part of a larger combinational network - the gate itself performs true NOR logic (Y = NOT(A OR B)).

FAQ

Is the 74LVC1G02GN,132 compatible with 5 V TTL inputs?

Yes - its input thresholds scale with V_CC (V_IL = 0.3×V_CC, V_IH = 0.7×V_CC), so at V_CC = 5.0 V, V_IH = 3.5 V, which exceeds standard TTL's 2.0 V minimum high-level input voltage. No external pull-ups or level shifters are required for direct connection.

Can this device drive a 50 Ω transmission line directly?

Yes - with ±24 mA output drive at V_CC = 3.3 V, it can source/sink sufficient current to terminate a 50 Ω line (I = 3.3 V / 50 Ω ≈ 66 mA) in active-drive configurations, though edge rate control requires series resistance; typical use is short-line driving with 22–33 Ω series termination.

Does the exposed pad on the XSON8 package require electrical connection?

No - Pins 6–8 are internally unconnected; the exposed pad is a thermal slug only. It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to GND for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression, but no electrical continuity is required for functional operation.

What is the maximum capacitive load this gate can drive while maintaining specified t_PD?

The datasheet specifies 3.7 ns t_PD at C_L = 50 pF. Load capacitance up to 75 pF increases delay to ≤5.2 ns (measured per JEDEC JESD78), remaining within most digital timing margins; beyond 100 pF, delay rises nonlinearly and output waveform integrity degrades.
