Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC1G06GM,115

Overview

74LVC1G06GM,115 from Nexperia is a single CMOS inverter with open-drain output, designed for level translation between 1.65 V–5.5 V logic domains. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF partial power-down protection, and ±24 mA sink capability at 3.0 V - enabling robust interfacing in mixed-voltage I²C, SMBus, and GPIO expansion applications.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC1G06GM,115 datasheet, 74LVC1G06GM,115 pinout, 74LVC1G06GM,115 application, or 74LVC1G06GM,115 equivalent, this device serves as a compact, temperature-stable (−40 °C to +125 °C) logic buffer for bus termination, LED driving, and voltage-level shifting where low quiescent current (<4 μA), overvoltage-tolerant inputs (to 5.5 V), and fail-safe power-down behavior are required.

Technical Context

The 74LVC1G06GM implements a single inverting gate with open-drain output, requiring an external pull-up resistor to define high-state voltage. Its Schmitt-trigger input threshold (e.g., 1.7 V typical at VCC = 2.5 V) enables reliable operation with slow-rising signals and improves noise margin in noisy environments.

IOFF circuitry actively disables both input and output paths when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current and supporting hot-swap and partial-power-down system architectures. The device complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7 through JESD36 across its full 1.65 V–5.5 V supply range.

FAQ

Can 74LVC1G06GM,115 drive a standard I²C bus directly?

Yes - its open-drain output and ±24 mA sink capability at 3.0 V allow direct connection to I²C SDA/SCL lines with appropriate pull-up resistors (e.g., 2.2 kΩ to 3.3 V). Propagation delay remains below 4 ns across 1.8–5.5 V, ensuring compliance with Fast-mode (400 kHz) timing budgets even at −40 °C.

What is the purpose of the two n.c. terminals in the XSON6 package?

Terminals 1 and 5 are internally unconnected and serve mechanical stabilization and thermal dissipation roles in the XSON6 (SOT886) package. They must not be bonded to VCC or GND; leaving them floating or grounding them (per PCB design rules) has no electrical impact but improves solder joint reliability and thermal transfer to the board.

Does the IOFF feature require external control signals?

No - IOFF is fully automatic and requires no external enable/disable pin. When VCC drops to 0 V, internal circuitry detects the loss of supply and disables both input and output paths within nanoseconds, limiting back-current to <±2 μA regardless of input or output voltage states.

How does Schmitt-trigger input improve noise immunity compared to standard CMOS input?

Schmitt-trigger action provides hysteresis: VIH ≈ 0.7×VCC and VIL ≈ 0.3×VCC, creating a ~0.4×VCC noise margin. This prevents multiple toggles on slow or noisy edges - for example, a 100 ns rise time signal with 300 mV ripple will trigger only once, whereas a standard inverter could oscillate. Measured noise rejection exceeds 400 mV peak-to-peak at 2.5 V VCC.
