Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2G04GM,115

Overview

74LVC2G04GM,115 from Nexperia is a dual CMOS inverter with Schmitt-trigger inputs, operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and featuring IOFF partial power-down protection for mixed-voltage bus isolation in level-shifting applications such as I²C signal conditioning and microcontroller GPIO buffering.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G04GM,115 datasheet, 74LVC2G04GM,115 pinout, 74LVC2G04GM,115 application, or 74LVC2G04GM,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6-terminal XSON6 (SOT886) package, −40 °C to +125 °C temperature rating, 2.7 ns typical propagation delay at 3.0 V, and overvoltage-tolerant 5.5 V inputs enabling safe interfacing between 3.3 V logic and legacy 5 V systems.

Technical Context

This device implements two independent inverting buffers with hysteresis on all inputs, allowing robust operation with slow-rising signals common in sensor interfaces and mechanical switch debouncing. Its IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking back-current flow during hot-swap or partial system power-down.

It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, JESD8C, and JESD36 across its full 1.65–5.5 V supply range and meets ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 Class 2 (≥2000 V HBM) and JS-002 Class C3 (≥1000 V CDM) ESD specifications.

FAQ

Can 74LVC2G04GM,115 safely interface a 5 V sensor output to a 1.8 V microcontroller input?

Yes - its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC. With VCC = 1.8 V, VIH is 1.2 V min and VIL is 0.45 V max, ensuring reliable recognition of 5 V logic highs while avoiding input overstress. No series resistor is needed.

Does the IOFF feature protect against back-current when only one supply rail is powered down?

Yes - IOFF activates when VCC drops below ~0.2 V, disabling both outputs and presenting high-impedance (±2 μA leakage max) to connected signals. This prevents reverse current flow from live 5 V buses into unpowered sections, satisfying IEC 61000-4-2 system-level hot-swap requirements.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive while maintaining 5 ns propagation delay?

At VCC = 3.0 V and Tamb = 25 °C, the device maintains ≤5.5 ns tpd driving 30 pF (including trace and probe capacitance). For 50 pF loads, tpd increases to ≤7.0 ns. Layout best practice: keep output trace length under 3 cm and use ground plane beneath to limit parasitic inductance.

Is the SOT886 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?

Yes - the XSON6 (SOT886) package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 and withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Recommended profile: ramp-to-peak ≤3 °C/s, time above 217 °C = 60–150 s, peak = 235–245 °C, with no cold start limitation.
