Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC1G04GW,165

Overview

74LVC1G04GW,165 from Nexperia is a single CMOS inverter logic gate with Schmitt-trigger inputs, operating across 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, supporting mixed-voltage level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V systems. It delivers ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, features IOFF partial power-down protection, and is rated for -40 °C to +125 °C operation in TSSOP5 (SOT353-1) package.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC1G04GW,165 datasheet, 74LVC1G04GW,165 pinout, 74LVC1G04GW,165 application, or 74LVC1G04GW,165 equivalent, this device serves as a robust, low-power signal inversion element in voltage-level translation, noise-immune sensor interfacing, and power-aware digital control paths where backflow current prevention during partial shutdown is required.

Technical Context

The 74LVC1G04GW implements a single inverting buffer with Schmitt-trigger input thresholds-enabling tolerance to slow-rising/falling signals and improving noise immunity in noisy environments. Its IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking damaging backflow current during hot-insertion or partial system power-down.

It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, JESD8C, and JESD36 across its full 1.65–5.5 V supply range and supports direct TTL-level interfacing. Input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V allows safe connection to higher-voltage sources without external clamping.

FAQ

Does the 74LVC1G04GW,165 support true bidirectional level translation?

No. It is a unidirectional inverter: input A drives output Y only. While its overvoltage-tolerant inputs accept 5.5 V signals regardless of VCC, it does not provide automatic direction sensing or bus arbitration. For bidirectional translation, dedicated level translators like TXB0104 or NTB0108 are required.

Can Pin 1 (n.c.) be tied to GND or VCC for improved thermal or EMI performance?

No. Pin 1 is internally unconnected and must remain floating per Nexperia's design specification. Connecting it to GND or VCC violates the recommended layout and may cause unpredictable behavior or increased leakage. Follow the SOT353-1 footprint exactly as defined in the package drawing.

What is the maximum capacitive load the 74LVC1G04GW,165 can drive while maintaining specified t_pd?

Per the datasheet test conditions, propagation delay is characterized with 30–50 pF load capacitance (including probe/jig). Driving >75 pF increases t_pd nonlinearly and may degrade edge rate; for loads >50 pF, verify timing margins in-system using worst-case VCC and temperature corners.

Is the IOFF function activated only when VCC = 0 V, or does it engage during brownout conditions?

IOFF activates only when VCC is fully at 0 V. During brownout (e.g., VCC dropping to 0.5 V), the device remains functional but output impedance rises and timing degrades. For brownout-safe isolation, external power supervisors or dedicated load switches are required.
