Product details
Overview
74LVC2GU04GV,125 from Nexperia is a dual unbuffered CMOS inverter IC operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, with overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and specified for -40 °C to +125 °C. It functions as a level translator in mixed-voltage digital interfaces (e.g., 3.3 V logic driving 5 V loads) and enables crystal oscillator and linear amplifier configurations.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2GU04GV,125 datasheet, 74LVC2GU04GV,125 pinout, 74LVC2GU04GV,125 application, or 74LVC2GU04GV,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage tolerance, propagation delay across supply voltages (e.g., 3.7 ns max at 3.3 V), output drive strength, thermal derating behavior in SC-74 package, and suitability for unbuffered oscillator feedback paths.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent unbuffered inverter gates-no internal buffering stage-enabling direct use in Pierce oscillator topologies and analog amplifier configurations. Its rail-to-rail input tolerance and CMOS output structure support bidirectional level translation without external biasing.
Propagation delay is supply- and temperature-dependent: 3.7 ns maximum at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V and -40 °C to +125 °C; dynamic power dissipation is governed by CPD = 7.8 pF and load switching frequency. Input hysteresis is not specified; operation relies on standard CMOS threshold behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - Enables interoperability between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows safe connection to 5 V outputs while powered from lower supplies (e.g., 3.3 V), critical for mixed-voltage board design. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - Sufficient to drive moderate capacitive loads or multiple gate inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.7 ns max (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V, -40 °C to +125 °C) - Supports >100 MHz toggle rates in non-critical timing paths. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | CPD = 7.8 pF - Used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N; enables accurate power budgeting in high-frequency switching. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial controllers, and extended-temperature embedded systems. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Reduces need for external ESD protection in handheld and I/O-exposed applications. |
Pinout & Package
74LVC2GU04GV,125 uses the SC-74 (TSOP6) package (SOT457), measuring 3.1 mm × 1.7 mm × 0.95 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled corner at the lower-left edge beneath the marking "VU4".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1A - Input of first inverter | CMOS-compatible input accepting 0–5.5 V; no series resistor required for 5 V drive. |
| 2 | GND - Ground reference | Primary return path for both gates; must be low-inductance for stable switching and oscillator operation. |
| 3 | 2A - Input of second inverter | Independent input; electrically isolated from 1A - supports dual-channel signal inversion or separate oscillator stages. |
| 4 | 2Y - Output of second inverter | Inverted logic level of 2A; capable of sourcing/sinking ±24 mA at 3.0 V for fanout or analog biasing. |
| 5 | VCC - Supply voltage | Single supply input; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) recommended within 3 mm of pin for noise immunity. |
| 6 | 1Y - Output of first inverter | Complementary output to 1A; used in crystal oscillator feedback loop or as standalone inverter output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range (1.65–5.5 V) | Eliminates need for dedicated level translators in multi-rail systems; simplifies BOM and layout. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 5 V signals while powered from 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V - enables legacy interface integration without external clamping. |
| Unbuffered gate architecture | Enables direct use in crystal oscillator circuits (Pierce configuration) and linear amplifier modes via external biasing. |
| High noise immunity | CMOS input thresholds (VIH ≥ 0.75×VCC, VIL ≤ 0.25×VCC) provide >1.2 V noise margin at 3.3 V supply. |
| Latch-up immunity >250 mA | Guarantees robustness against transient current surges during hot-plug or ESD events in industrial environments. |
Applications
| Crystal Oscillator | Level Translation Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Generating stable clock signals for microcontrollers or sensors using a 32.768 kHz or 1–20 MHz quartz crystal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unbuffered inverter provides phase inversion and gain in Pierce oscillator topology; pins 1A/1Y form feedback path with crystal and load capacitors. Use Value: Eliminates need for dedicated oscillator ICs; supports wide crystal load capacitance (12–22 pF) and operates across full industrial temperature range. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing a 3.3 V FPGA I/O bank to a 5 V sensor bus or legacy peripheral. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as passive bidirectional level shifter - 5 V input safely clamped by internal diodes, output swings rail-to-rail at 3.3 V. Use Value: No external resistors or power rails needed; preserves signal integrity for data rates up to ~50 Mbps (limited by tpd and load). |
| Linear Amplifier | Signal Inversion & Fanout |
|
Use Scenario: Building low-noise, low-power analog amplifiers for sensor signal conditioning in battery-powered IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured with feedback resistors (R1 ≥ 3 kΩ, R2 ≤ 1 MΩ) and bypass capacitors to operate in linear region; gain ≈ R2/R1. Use Value: Delivers ~5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth and 20× open-loop gain at minimal quiescent current (~2 mA at 3.3 V, 10 MHz toggle). |
Use Scenario: Inverting control signals (e.g., enable/disable, reset polarity) and distributing them to multiple downstream devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual independent inverters provide two isolated logic inversions; each output drives up to 10 LVC inputs or 30 pF load. Use Value: Reduces gate count vs. discrete solutions; maintains timing consistency (matched tPLH/tPHL) across both channels. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual unbuffered inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2G04DBVR | Same logic function and supply range; SOT-23-6 package (larger footprint, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm); 3.5 ns max tpd at 3.3 V. | Better thermal performance in high-power-density layouts due to larger copper pad area; less suitable for ultra-compact designs. | Select when PCB real estate allows larger package and higher thermal mass is preferred over minimal size. |
| 74AUP2G04GW,125 | Lower static current (0.9 μA max vs. 4 μA), wider VCC range (0.8–3.6 V), but no 5 V input tolerance; 4.2 ns max tpd at 3.3 V. | Optimized for ultra-low-power battery applications only - incompatible with 5 V signal domains. | Select only for sub-3.6 V systems where 5 V tolerance is unnecessary and nanoamp quiescent current is critical. |
Compared with SN74LVC2G04DBVR, 74LVC2GU04GV,125 offers superior space efficiency and identical 5 V input tolerance, while 74AUP2G04GW,125 trades off voltage compatibility for ultra-low ICC - making the GV variant optimal for compact, mixed-voltage industrial interfaces.

FAQ
Can 74LVC2GU04GV,125 be used in a crystal oscillator circuit?
Yes - its unbuffered architecture is explicitly qualified for Pierce oscillator use per Nexperia Application Information (Fig. 9). External components include two load capacitors (typically 22 pF and 47 pF), one feedback resistor (1–10 MΩ), and a crystal. No additional buffering or biasing is required.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
At VCC = 3.3 V and Tamb = 25 °C, the device maintains specified tpd and VOH/VOL with up to 50 pF load (per test conditions in Table 10). For reliable operation across -40 °C to +125 °C, keep total load ≤30 pF to ensure timing margins and output voltage compliance.
Does this part support 5 V logic inputs while powered from 1.8 V?
Yes - inputs are overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling safe 5 V signal reception even when VCC = 1.65 V. This is confirmed in Section 2 (Features) and Table 5 (Limiting Values) of the datasheet.
How does thermal derating affect power handling in the SC-74 package?
For the SOT457 (SC-74) package, total power dissipation derates linearly at 4.1 mW/K above +89 °C. At +125 °C ambient, Ptot drops to ~110 mW from the 250 mW rating at +89 °C - requiring careful thermal design in sealed enclosures or high-power-density layouts.
