Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2G04GW,125

Overview

74LVC2G04GW,125 from Nexperia is a dual CMOS inverter IC with Schmitt-trigger inputs, designed for level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains in mixed-voltage digital systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, features IOFF partial power-down protection, and is qualified from −40 °C to +125 °C in TSSOP6 (SOT363-2) package. It is used in bus buffering, signal conditioning, and voltage-level interface circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G04GW,125 datasheet, 74LVC2G04GW,125 pinout, 74LVC2G04GW,125 application, or 74LVC2G04GW,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-inverter function with Schmitt-trigger hysteresis, IOFF-enabled power-down isolation, wide VCC range, guaranteed 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, and TSSOP6 thermal performance up to +125 °C.

Technical Context

The 74LVC2G04GW,125 implements two independent inverting buffers with Schmitt-trigger input thresholds-enabling robust noise immunity and compatibility with slow-rising signals. Its IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current during partial system power-down.

It supports JEDEC-compliant voltage interfaces across multiple standards (JESD8-7, JESD8-5, JESD8C, JESD36), and its propagation delay ranges from 0.5 ns (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V) to 3.8 ns (−40 °C to +125 °C, VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), ensuring timing predictability in high-speed control paths.

FAQ

Can the 74LVC2G04GW,125 be used to interface a 5 V microcontroller with a 3.3 V FPGA?

Yes. Its 5.5 V-tolerant inputs accept 5 V logic levels while operating at VCC = 3.3 V, and its outputs swing rail-to-rail within the 3.3 V domain-enabling direct, bidirectional level translation without external components. The Schmitt-trigger inputs further suppress noise from the 5 V side.

Does the IOFF feature require external circuitry to activate?

No. IOFF is fully automatic: when VCC drops to 0 V, internal circuitry disables both outputs and limits leakage current to ±2 μA maximum, preventing back-current flow-no enable pin, pull-up, or configuration is needed.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably at 3.3 V?

At VCC = 3.3 V and Tamb = 25 °C, the device maintains ≤4.1 ns propagation delay driving 50 pF loads (per Table 10 test conditions). For reliable operation with larger loads, limit total output capacitance to ≤75 pF to stay within 5 ns timing margin at +125 °C.

Is the TSSOP6 package suitable for reflow soldering in lead-free processes?

Yes. The SOT363-2 package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-20D, peak 260 °C), with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1-no baking required prior to assembly. Its 0.65 mm pitch and exposed pad-free design ensure high first-pass yield in automated SMT lines.
