Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2G14GS,132

Overview

74LVC2G14GS,132 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 (SOT1202) packaging for space-constrained signal conditioning.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G14GS,132 datasheet, 74LVC2G14GS,132 pinout, 74LVC2G14GS,132 application, or 74LVC2G14GS,132 equivalent, key selection criteria include Schmitt-trigger hysteresis (0.40–1.40 V), propagation delay (0.5–4.7 ns), 5.5 V input tolerance, IOFF leakage <±2 μA at VCC = 0 V, and operation across –40 °C to +125 °C.

Technical Context

This device implements two independent CMOS inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs, each providing noise-immune waveform shaping via defined VT+ (1.30–3.80 V) and VT– (0.60–2.50 V) thresholds that vary with VCC. The hysteresis (VH = 0.40–1.90 V) ensures robust transition detection on slow-rising signals.

IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking backflow current when VCC = 0 V, while maintaining 5.5 V overvoltage tolerance on inputs regardless of supply state - enabling safe interfacing in mixed-voltage systems with uncontrolled power sequencing.

FAQ

What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVC2G14GS,132 can tolerate when VCC = 0 V?

The device tolerates up to 5.5 V on any input pin (1A or 2A) even with VCC = 0 V, as confirmed in Table 5 (Limiting Values) and Section 10 (Recommended Operating Conditions). This overvoltage capability is enabled by internal clamp structures independent of supply rails, allowing safe connection to live 5 V buses during power-down sequences.

Does the 74LVC2G14GS,132 support true bidirectional level translation?

No - it supports unidirectional level translation only: 5 V inputs can drive the device while powered from 1.65–5.5 V, but outputs swing between GND and VCC and cannot source 5 V when VCC = 3.3 V. For bidirectional translation, a dedicated bus switch or dual-supply translator (e.g., TXB0102) is required.

How does the Schmitt-trigger hysteresis change with supply voltage?

Hysteresis (VH = VT+ − VT−) increases with VCC: from 0.40 V (min) at 3.0 V to 1.90 V (max) at 5.5 V, as specified in Table 8. This scaling ensures consistent noise immunity across the full 1.65–5.5 V operating range - unlike fixed-threshold inverters whose margin degrades at lower VCC.

Can the 74LVC2G14GS,132 be used in an astable multivibrator without external resistors?

No - external RC components are mandatory. The device lacks internal timing elements; Figure 10 shows a standard relaxation oscillator configuration requiring one resistor and one capacitor per inverter stage. Omitting either component results in undefined or DC-latched behavior, not oscillation.
