Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC1G97GXZ

Overview

74LVC1G97GXZ from Nexperia is a single-gate configurable logic device with Schmitt-trigger inputs, supporting MUX, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, inverter, and buffer functions via 3-bit input configuration. It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, tolerates 5 V inputs/outputs, and features IOFF power-down protection. Used in mixed-voltage interface translation and noise-immune signal conditioning in portable and industrial control systems.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC1G97GXZ datasheet, 74LVC1G97GXZ pinout, 74LVC1G97GXZ application, or 74LVC1G97GXZ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional configurations, thermal-enhanced X2SON6 package details, Schmitt-trigger hysteresis values, IOFF leakage specs, and real-world logic reconfiguration use cases - all validated against Nexperia's Rev. 8.1 product data sheet.

Technical Context

The 74LVC1G97GXZ implements a single configurable gate using CMOS technology with three data inputs (A, B, C), one output (Y), and Schmitt-trigger input thresholds enabling robust noise rejection. Its function selection is determined by static logic levels applied to A, B, and C - no clock or programming interface required.

It supports partial power-down via IOFF circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting backflow current to ±2 μA. Input voltage range extends to 5.5 V independent of VCC, allowing direct interfacing with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters.

FAQ

What logic functions can be implemented with the 74LVC1G97GXZ?

The 74LVC1G97GXZ supports seven logic configurations: 2-input MUX, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, inverter, and buffer. Function selection is determined solely by static logic levels applied to its three inputs (A, B, C) - no clock, programming, or external memory is needed. The exact mapping is defined in Table 4 and Figures 6–12 of the Nexperia datasheet Rev. 8.1.

Does the 74LVC1G97GXZ require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?

No. All inputs (A, B, C) may be directly tied to VCC or GND without external resistors. The device's Schmitt-trigger inputs provide defined thresholds and hysteresis, eliminating floating-state uncertainty. Internal input leakage is limited to ±1 μA, ensuring stable logic states even with direct rail connections.

How does the IOFF feature protect the 74LVC1G97GXZ during partial power-down?

When VCC drops to 0 V, the IOFF circuit actively disables the output driver, placing Y in high-impedance state. This limits backflow current through the output to ±2 μA maximum, preventing damage to powered downstream circuits or unintended activation of connected loads - a critical safeguard in hot-swap or multi-rail power architectures.

Can the 74LVC1G97GXZ be used in automotive applications?

Yes - the 74LVC1G97GXZ is qualified for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C and meets JEDEC JESD8-7/8B/36 standards. While not AEC-Q100 certified, its extended temperature rating, 5 V tolerance, and IOFF protection make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive body electronics such as door modules and lighting controls, provided system-level validation is performed.
