NXP Semiconductors 74LVC1G07GM/S500115

Overview

74LVC1G07GM/S500115 from Nexperia is a single non-inverting buffer with open-drain output, designed for level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection, and operates across 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply. It is used in I²C bus pull-up interfaces, GPIO expansion drivers, and mixed-voltage signal conditioning.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 datasheet, 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 pinout, 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 application, or 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, XSON6 package details, open-drain drive capability (–24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V), temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C), and JEDEC-compliant voltage tolerances.

Technical Context

This device implements a CMOS-based single-buffer architecture with input hysteresis and IOFF-enabled isolation. Its open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor and supports wired-AND logic, I²C-compatible signaling, and bidirectional bus control. The Schmitt-trigger input ensures robust operation with slow-rising signals up to 10 ns/V transition rate.

The IOFF circuit disables output leakage when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during partial power-down - critical in hot-swap and multi-rail systems. Input overvoltage tolerance to 5.5 V enables safe interfacing with 5 V sources even when powered from 1.65 V to 2.7 V supplies.

FAQ

What is the maximum sink current capability of the 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 at 3.3 V supply?

The 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 delivers –24 mA output sink current at VCC = 3.0 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V (–40 °C to +125 °C). At 3.3 V, typical sink capability remains ≥ –22 mA under same conditions. This enables direct driving of standard I²C buses, LED indicators, or small-signal MOSFET gates without external amplification.

Does the 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 support true bidirectional communication like I²C?

No - the 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 is a unidirectional buffer with open-drain output. It supports wired-AND logic and pull-up-based signaling (e.g., I²C SDA/SCL), but lacks internal direction control or high-impedance tri-state on input. Bidirectional protocols require external control logic or dedicated transceivers.

Can the 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 be used with a 1.8 V supply and 5 V input signals?

Yes - its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and it operates down to 1.65 V. With VCC = 1.8 V, VIH ≈ 1.26 V and VIL ≈ 0.54 V (per JESD8-7), enabling reliable recognition of 5 V TTL-level inputs while consuming < 0.5 μA ICC.

What is the purpose of the two n.c. pins on the 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 XSON6 package?

Pins 1 and 4 of the 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 (SOT886) are internally not connected. They serve mechanical stability and thermal symmetry in the XSON6 die attach structure but carry no electrical function. These pins must remain unconnected - no routing, grounding, or soldering is required or recommended.

How does the IOFF feature of the 74LVC1G07GM/S500115 protect downstream circuitry during power-down?

When VCC = 0 V, the IOFF circuit actively disables the output FET, limiting Y-pin leakage to ±2 μA maximum. This prevents reverse current flow from live I/O lines (e.g., 5 V SDA) into the unpowered IC, avoiding latch-up, false logic states, or damage to other powered rails in partial-power-down systems.
