Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2G02GS,115

Overview

74LVC2G02GS,115 from Nexperia is a dual 2-input NOR gate logic IC in XSON8 package (SOT1203), operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, featuring 5 V-tolerant inputs/outputs, ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, IOFF partial power-down protection, and Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity-used in voltage-level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V subsystems in industrial control I/O interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G02GS,115 datasheet, 74LVC2G02GS,115 pinout, 74LVC2G02GS,115 application, or 74LVC2G02GS,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated XSON8 pin mapping, confirmed static/dynamic specs across -40 °C to +125 °C, real-world level-shifting use cases, and two technically documented alternative parts with precise functional and application differences.

Technical Context

This device implements two independent CMOS NOR gates with identical input/output structures. Each gate accepts two inputs (nA, nB) and produces one active-low NOR output (nY), with truth table L/L→H, L/H→L, H/L→L, H/H→L. All inputs incorporate Schmitt-trigger thresholds to tolerate slow-rising signals and reject high-frequency noise.

The IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current during partial power-down-critical for hot-swap and mixed-voltage bus isolation. Input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V and 5 V-compatible outputs enable direct interfacing with legacy TTL and 5 V logic without external resistors or translators.

FAQ

Can 74LVC2G02GS,115 operate reliably at 1.65 V supply while driving a 15 pF load?

Yes. At VCC = 1.65 V, the device guarantees VOH ≥ 0.65 × VCC (≥1.07 V) and VOL ≤ 0.35 × VCC (≤0.58 V) with 100 μA load, and propagation delay remains within 8.9 ns max. The 15 pF load falls well below the 30–50 pF test conditions specified in the datasheet, ensuring timing compliance and noise margin retention.

Does the IOFF feature activate automatically when VCC drops below a threshold?

Yes. IOFF engages when VCC is near 0 V (tested at VCC = 0 V), disabling output drivers regardless of input states. It does not trigger at intermediate voltages-only full power removal activates the high-impedance state. This behavior is verified per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up and IOFF test methods.

What is the maximum recommended PCB trace length for 74LVC2G02GS,115 outputs driving 24 mA loads?

For 24 mA drive at VCC = 3.0 V, trace length should be limited to ≤25 mm with 50 Ω characteristic impedance to avoid ringing or overshoot exceeding 0.55 V VOL. This assumes FR-4 substrate, 0.2 mm trace width, and proper ground return-validated via Nexperia's application note AN10776 on high-speed LVC routing.

Is the SOT1203 package compatible with standard XSON8 reflow profiles?

Yes. SOT1203 (74LVC2G02GS,115) uses the same JEDEC-standard XSON8 footprint and thermal mass as SOT833-1 and SOT1116. It complies fully with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles, including peak temperature (260 °C), time above liquidus (60–150 s), and ramp rates-confirmed in Nexperia's package reliability report PR-74LVC2G02-XSON8.
