Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC2GU04GM,132

Overview

74LVC2GU04GM,132 from Nexperia is a dual unbuffered CMOS inverter in XSON6 (SOT886) package with 6 terminals, operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and rated for -40 °C to +125 °C. It enables level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains in compact space-constrained interfaces such as sensor signal conditioning and microcontroller GPIO expansion.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2GU04GM,132 datasheet, 74LVC2GU04GM,132 pinout, 74LVC2GU04GM,132 application, or 74LVC2GU04GM,132 equivalent, key selection criteria include input overvoltage tolerance to 5.5 V, propagation delay down to 0.3 ns at 4.5–5.5 V, low 7.8 pF power dissipation capacitance, and compatibility with high-speed crystal oscillator and linear amplifier configurations.

Technical Context

This device implements two independent unbuffered inverters-each with no internal buffering stage-enabling direct use in oscillator feedback loops and analog amplifier biasing. Its CMOS architecture ensures rail-to-rail output swing and high noise immunity across its full 1.65–5.5 V supply range.

The unbuffered design yields low propagation delay (0.3–6.3 ns depending on VCC), minimal input capacitance (5 pF), and symmetrical rise/fall times. Input pins tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, supporting mixed-voltage interfacing without external level shifters.

FAQ

Can the 74LVC2GU04GM,132 be used in crystal oscillator circuits?

Yes. Its unbuffered inverter structure is explicitly validated for Pierce oscillator configurations per Nexperia Application Note AN10677. With external 47 pF and 22 pF load capacitors and a 1–10 MΩ feedback resistor, it sustains oscillation from 100 kHz to 20 MHz with typical start-up time under 10 ms and frequency stability within ±100 ppm over -40 °C to +125 °C.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?

At VCC = 3.3 V and Tamb = 25 °C, the device maintains specified propagation delay and output voltage levels up to 50 pF total load capacitance-including PCB trace, probe, and downstream input capacitance-as confirmed in Table 10 of the datasheet under standardized test conditions with 500 Ω termination.

Does the 74LVC2GU04GM,132 support 1.8 V operation with guaranteed timing?

Yes. Per Table 6 and Table 8, propagation delay is characterized down to 1.65 V, with tpd ≤ 5.0 ns (max) at VCC = 1.65–1.95 V and -40 °C to +85 °C. At +125 °C, tpd increases to ≤ 6.3 ns-still sufficient for ≤100 MHz clock distribution in low-power microcontroller subsystems.

Is there a thermal pad on the SOT886 package, and is it electrically connected?

No. The SOT886 package for 74LVC2GU04GM,132 has no exposed thermal pad; the bottom surface is molded plastic. Thermal dissipation relies solely on conduction through the six copper terminals into the PCB copper pour, with θJA = 220 K/W measured on 2-layer JEDEC-standard board per datasheet Section 8 footnote [2].
