Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2G06GM,115

Overview

74LVC2G06GM,115 from Nexperia is a dual CMOS inverter with open-drain outputs, designed for level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF partial power-down protection, and operates across 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply. Used in I²C bus pull-up interfaces, GPIO expansion, and mixed-voltage sensor interfacing.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G06GM,115 datasheet, 74LVC2G06GM,115 pinout, 74LVC2G06GM,115 application, or 74LVC2G06GM,115 equivalent, this device serves as a compact, low-power voltage-level translator with robust ESD protection (HBM >2000 V), wide temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C), and guaranteed open-drain drive capability up to –24 mA at 3.0 V.

Technical Context

The 74LVC2G06GM implements two independent inverting buffers, each with an open-drain output requiring external pull-up. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs accept slow-rising signals and tolerate input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling reliable interfacing across voltage domains. The IOFF circuit actively disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current.

All inputs are overvoltage tolerant and compatible with TTL logic levels. Static and dynamic performance is specified across –40 °C to +125 °C, with propagation delays as low as 0.5 ns at 5 V and power dissipation capacitance of 5.9 pF at 3.3 V - critical for high-speed, low-noise digital signal conditioning.

FAQ

Can 74LVC2G06GM,115 drive a 10 kΩ pull-up to 5 V while powered from 3.3 V?

Yes. With VCC = 3.3 V and VO = 0.55 V max at –24 mA (per datasheet Table 7), the device can sink ≥24 mA - more than sufficient for a 10 kΩ pull-up to 5 V (I = (5 V – 0.55 V)/10 kΩ ≈ 0.45 mA). Output voltage remains well within I²C standard LOW threshold (<0.4 V) at this load.

Does the IOFF feature work when VCC is disconnected but GND remains connected?

Yes. IOFF activates when VCC is near 0 V (≤0.2 V), regardless of whether it is floating or grounded. As confirmed in Section 1, the IOFF circuitry disables outputs to prevent backflow current - verified under VCC = 0 V, VI or VO = 5.5 V, with IOFF leakage ≤±2 μA (Table 7).

Is the 74LVC2G06GM,115 pin-compatible with other 74LVC2G06 variants like GW or GV?

No. While all 74LVC2G06 variants share identical logic function and electrical specs, pinouts differ across packages: GM (SOT886/XSON6) uses 1A-GND-2A-2Y-VCC-1Y; GW (SOT363-2/TSSOP6) uses 1A-1Y-GND-2A-2Y-VCC. Physical layout and terminal order are package-specific - PCB design must match SOT886.

What is the maximum capacitive load the 74LVC2G06GM,115 can drive while maintaining 10 ns/V input transition rate compliance?

Per Table 6, Δt/ΔV is specified as ≤10 ns/V for VCC = 2.7 V to 5.5 V. With CPD = 5.9 pF (Table 8), total load (CL + CPD) should remain ≤30 pF to meet typical tpd ≤3.7 ns at 5 V (Table 8). Thus, maximum external CL is ~24 pF - consistent with standard 50 pF test condition used in timing measurements.
