Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2G86GN,115

Overview

74LVC2G86GN,115 from Nexperia is a dual 2-input XOR gate logic IC operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, featuring Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity and IOFF circuitry enabling partial power-down mode. It supports mixed-voltage interfacing (3.3 V/5 V), delivers ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and is qualified for -40 °C to +125 °C operation in the XSON8 package (SOT1116, 1.2 × 1.0 × 0.35 mm).

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G86GN,115 datasheet, 74LVC2G86GN,115 pinout, 74LVC2G86GN,115 application, or 74LVC2G86GN,115 equivalent, this device serves as a compact, low-power level translator and combinational logic element in space-constrained digital systems requiring robust input tolerance and power-state isolation.

Technical Context

The 74LVC2G86GN implements two independent XOR gates with identical truth tables (L/L→L, L/H→H, H/L→H, H/H→L) and Schmitt-trigger inputs that accept slow-rising/falling signals without oscillation. Each gate operates with rail-to-rail CMOS-compatible input thresholds defined per supply voltage (e.g., VIH = 0.7VCC at 4.5–5.5 V).

Its IOFF functionality disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current during hot-insertion or partial system power-down. Propagation delay ranges from 0.6 ns (VCC = 5.5 V) to 12.4 ns (VCC = 1.65 V, -40 °C to +125 °C), with dynamic power dissipation governed by CPD = 15.8 pF per gate at 3.3 V.

FAQ

Can 74LVC2G86GN,115 safely interface a 5 V microcontroller GPIO with a 3.3 V FPGA I/O bank?

Yes. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, and its outputs swing rail-to-rail - enabling direct connection from a 5 V MCU output to the 74LVC2G86GN,115 input, with the XOR output driving the 3.3 V FPGA input without level shifters. This is explicitly supported by the overvoltage-tolerant input specification and JEDEC-compliant voltage thresholds.

Does the IOFF feature require external circuitry to activate during power-down?

No. IOFF activates automatically when VCC drops to 0 V - no enable pin, pull-up resistor, or external control signal is needed. The output drivers enter high-impedance state intrinsically, preventing back-current flow from powered sections into the unpowered IC, as verified in the static characteristics table (IOFF leakage ≤ ±2 μA).

What is the maximum capacitive load the 74LVC2G86GN,115 can drive while maintaining specified propagation delay?

The datasheet specifies timing under 30–50 pF loads (Table 10). At VCC = 3.3 V and 50 pF, tpd remains ≤5.9 ns (−40 °C to +125 °C). Driving >50 pF increases delay nonlinearly and may cause overshoot/ringing; for loads beyond 50 pF, buffer stages or controlled-impedance routing are recommended to maintain timing integrity.

Is the SOT1116 (XSON8) package of 74LVC2G86GN,115 compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?

Yes. The SOT1116 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), with peak reflow temperature up to 260 °C. Its 0.35 mm profile and wettable flanks support automated optical inspection and reliable solder joint formation using standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., IPC-7531 Class 3).
