Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC1G386GW,125

Overview

74LVC1G386GW,125 from Nexperia is a single 3-input EXCLUSIVE-OR gate in TSSOP6 (SOT363-2) package, operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, with ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and IOFF partial power-down protection. It functions as a logic-level translator in mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V digital interfaces, such as UART signal conditioning or address bus parity generation.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC1G386GW,125 datasheet, 74LVC1G386GW,125 pinout, 74LVC1G386GW,125 application, or 74LVC1G386GW,125 equivalent, this device supports voltage translation, low-power logic synthesis, and robust input timing tolerance in industrial control I/O expansion and embedded microcontroller peripheral interfacing.

Technical Context

The 74LVC1G386GW implements a true 3-input XOR function (Y = A ⊕ B ⊕ C), with propagation delays as low as 1.0 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and 9.5 ns max at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V over –40 °C to +125 °C. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs accept slow-rising signals and reject noise up to 30% of VCC.

IOFF circuitry disables outputs during power-down, blocking backflow current when VCC = 0 V, while overvoltage-tolerant inputs withstand up to 5.5 V regardless of supply level. Static input leakage remains ≤±1 μA across full temperature and voltage range.

FAQ

Can 74LVC1G386GW,125 safely interface a 5 V sensor output with a 1.8 V microcontroller input?

Yes. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, and VIH/VIL thresholds scale with supply voltage. At VCC = 1.8 V, VIH ≥ 1.17 V and VIL ≤ 0.63 V ensure reliable recognition of 5 V logic highs and lows without external resistors or clamps.

Does the IOFF feature protect against backfeed when only VCC is disconnected but GND remains connected?

Yes. IOFF activates when VCC = 0 V, forcing all outputs into high-impedance state-even with GND intact-preventing current flow from driven inputs or outputs into the unpowered VCC rail, satisfying JEDEC JESD78 latch-up immunity requirements.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive while maintaining specified tpd?

The datasheet specifies dynamic performance with CL = 30–50 pF (Table 10). Driving >50 pF increases tpd nonlinearly; at CL = 100 pF and VCC = 3.3 V, measured tpd rises to ~12 ns. For loads >75 pF, add series termination or buffer staging.

Is the 74LVC1G386GW,125 qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100?

No. This variant is rated for –40 °C to +125 °C operation but is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Nexperia offers the automotive-grade 74LVC1G386GW-Q100 (with additional stress testing and PPAP documentation) for under-hood or safety-critical vehicle systems.
