Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2G14GM,115

Overview

74LVC2G14GM,115 from Nexperia is a dual inverting Schmitt trigger IC with 5 V tolerant 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. It enables level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains in compact XSON6 (SOT886) packaging for space-constrained mixed-voltage interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G14GM,115 datasheet, 74LVC2G14GM,115 pinout, 74LVC2G14GM,115 application, or 74LVC2G14GM,115 equivalent, this device is selected for noise-immune signal conditioning in wave shaping, relaxation oscillators, and monostable/multivibrator circuits where input hysteresis, rail-to-rail compatibility, and ultra-thin packaging are critical.

Technical Context

This IC implements two independent CMOS inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs, each providing defined positive-going (VT+) and negative-going (VT−) thresholds-e.g., 1.30 V / 0.60 V typical at VCC = 3.0 V-yielding 0.73 V typical hysteresis. The IOFF circuit actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking backflow current when VCC = 0 V.

It supports unlimited input rise/fall times without latch-up risk (exceeds 250 mA), complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7 through JESD36 across voltage ranges, and maintains stable operation from −40 °C to +125 °C with ESD robustness per HBM (>2000 V) and CDM (>1000 V).

FAQ

What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVC2G14GM,115 can tolerate when VCC = 1.8 V?

The device supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, as confirmed in Table 6 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Table 5 (Limiting Values). This 5 V tolerance is achieved via internal clamp structures, enabling safe interfacing of 5 V signals into 1.8 V systems without external protection components.

Does the 74LVC2G14GM,115 support true bidirectional level translation?

No-it performs unidirectional level translation only: 5 V inputs are safely accepted and converted to VCC-referenced outputs. It cannot translate low-voltage outputs to higher-voltage domains without additional circuitry. Its primary role is noise-immune input conditioning and voltage-domain bridging from higher to lower logic levels.

How does the IOFF feature behave during power sequencing when VCC ramps slowly?

IOFF activates automatically when VCC drops below ~0.8 V (per functional description), disabling both outputs and presenting high-impedance states. During slow ramp-up, outputs remain disabled until VCC exceeds the minimum functional threshold (~1.65 V), preventing metastable or partially powered states that could cause bus contention or excessive current draw.

Can the 74LVC2G14GM,115 be used to build a precision oscillator with stable frequency over temperature?

Yes-its well-characterized VT+ and VT− thresholds (e.g., 1.30 V / 0.60 V typical at 3.0 V, ±0.4 V variation over −40 °C to +125 °C) allow predictable RC-based oscillator design. Figure 11 shows K-factor stability; combined with tight hysteresis control, it achieves better frequency consistency than standard inverters in relaxation oscillator topologies.
