Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2G08GD,125

Overview

74LVC2G08GD,125 from Nexperia is a dual 2-input AND gate logic IC designed for level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V systems, featuring Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF partial power-down protection, and operation across 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply. It delivers ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V and supports industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) in an XSON8 package (SOT996-2, 1.4 × 1.2 × 0.5 mm).

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G08GD,125 datasheet, 74LVC2G08GD,125 pinout, 74LVC2G08GD,125 application, or 74LVC2G08GD,125 equivalent, this device serves as a robust, low-power combinatorial logic element in mixed-voltage I/O interfacing, bus control, and enable signal conditioning where input rise/fall time tolerance and backflow current prevention are critical.

Technical Context

The 74LVC2G08GD,125 implements two independent AND gates with Schmitt-trigger inputs that accept slow-rising signals and reject noise below hysteresis thresholds. Its IOFF circuit actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V.

It operates over a wide voltage range (1.65 V–5.5 V), maintains 5 V-tolerant outputs, and supports input overvoltage up to 5.5 V-enabling direct connection to legacy 5 V logic while powered from 3.3 V or lower rails. Propagation delay is as low as 0.5 ns at 5 V, with typical tpd of 1.7 ns (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V).

FAQ

Does the 74LVC2G08GD,125 support true 5 V input operation while powered at 1.8 V?

Yes. Its inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level (1.65 V–5.5 V), allowing direct connection to 5 V signals even when powered at 1.8 V. This enables seamless level translation without external components, verified per Table 5 (VI limits) and Section 1 functional description.

How does the IOFF feature behave when VCC is ramping during power-up?

IOFF activates only when VCC reaches 0 V - not during brown-out or ramp-up. During power-up, the device behaves as a standard AND gate once VCC exceeds ~0.8 V. IOFF does not engage mid-ramp; it is strictly a zero-supply-state function, confirmed in Section 1 and Table 7 (IOFF leakage test condition).

Can the 74LVC2G08GD,125 drive a 50 pF capacitive load at 10 MHz with 3.3 V supply?

Yes. With CPD = 14.4 pF/gate and typical tpd = 2.1 ns at 3.3 V, dynamic power dissipation is ~1.6 mW at 10 MHz and 50 pF (PD = CPD × VCC² × f × N). Output drive (±24 mA) easily handles the required current slew rate, and propagation delay remains within timing budgets for most control applications.

Is the SOT996-2 (GD) package pin-compatible with other XSON8 variants like SOT833-1 (GT)?

No. While both are 8-terminal XSON8 packages, SOT996-2 (GD) has a 1.4 × 1.2 mm body with pin 1 at bottom-left, whereas SOT833-1 (GT) measures 1.0 × 1.95 mm with different terminal layout (e.g., VCC at position 3 vs position 8). Mechanical incompatibility requires separate PCB footprints, as documented in Figures 8 and 12 of the datasheet.
