Product details
Overview
74LVC2GU04GW-Q100 from Nexperia is a dual unbuffered inverter IC qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive use, operating from -40 °C to +125 °C with supply voltage range 1.65 V to 5.5 V, overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and ±24 mA output drive at VCC = 3.0 V - used for level translation and signal inversion in mixed-voltage ECUs and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2GU04GW-Q100 datasheet, 74LVC2GU04GW-Q100 pinout, 74LVC2GU04GW-Q100 application, or 74LVC2GU04GW-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, TSSOP6 (SOT363-2) package mapping, confirmed dual-inverter logic behavior, automotive-grade thermal and ESD specs, and real-world use cases in crystal oscillators and linear amplifier configurations.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent unbuffered CMOS inverters with no internal feedback or buffering - enabling direct use as gain stages in crystal oscillator circuits and linear amplifiers per Figure 8 and Figure 9 of the datasheet. Its unbuffered architecture yields low propagation delay (as low as 0.3 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) and high input impedance, critical for stable oscillation startup and analog gain tuning.
It supports bidirectional voltage translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains due to 5.5 V overvoltage-tolerant inputs and rail-to-rail output swing, while maintaining CMOS low-power operation (typical ICC = 0.1 μA) and robust latch-up immunity (>250 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Dual unbuffered inverter - enables crystal oscillator feedback and analog amplifier biasing without internal stage isolation. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage controllers in mixed-rail automotive networks. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive moderate capacitive loads and parallel gate inputs in ECU timing paths. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.3 ns (min) to 3.8 ns (max) over full temp/voltage range - ensures precise edge timing in clock distribution and oscillator loops. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets automotive system-level ESD robustness requirements without external protection. |
| Ambient Temperature Range | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and powertrain control unit deployment. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP6 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT363-2), 6-lead, body width 1.25 mm, pin pitch 0.65 mm, exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1A - Input of first inverter | CMOS-compatible input accepting 0–5.5 V; no internal pull-up/down; requires external bias for linear mode. |
| 2 | GND - Ground reference | 0 V return path for both logic and analog operation; must be low-impedance for oscillator stability. |
| 3 | 2A - Input of second inverter | Independent of 1A; enables dual-channel signal conditioning or redundant oscillator paths. |
| 4 | 2Y - Output of second inverter | Rail-to-rail CMOS output; drives capacitive loads up to 50 pF per datasheet test conditions. |
| 5 | VCC - Supply voltage | Single supply for both gates; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required near pin for oscillator noise suppression. |
| 6 | 1Y - Output of first inverter | Primary output used in crystal oscillator feedback loop (per Fig. 9); matches 1A for closed-loop gain control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications requiring operation from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient with full electrical characterization. |
| Unbuffered inverter topology | Enables direct integration into Pierce crystal oscillator circuits and linear amplifier bias networks without added propagation delay or phase shift. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 5.5 V signals even when VCC = 1.65 V - eliminates level-shifter ICs in mixed-voltage sensor interface designs. |
| High noise immunity | Guaranteed VIH ≥ 0.75×VCC, VIL ≤ 0.25×VCC - prevents false triggering in electrically noisy engine bay environments. |
| Low dynamic power dissipation | CPD = 7.8 pF - minimizes switching current in always-on oscillator circuits and reduces thermal load in sealed ECUs. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC2GU04GV-Q100 | Same silicon die, SC-74 (SOT457) package - 3.1 mm body length vs. 2.2 mm for TSSOP6; 0.95 mm lead pitch vs. 0.65 mm. | Less suitable for ultra-dense PCB layouts; slightly higher thermal resistance (4.1 mW/K derating above 89 °C vs. 3.7 mW/K for GW). | Select when existing footprint compatibility with SC-74 is required or reflow profile favors larger leaded packages. |

FAQ
Can the 74LVC2GU04GW-Q100 be used as a linear amplifier?
Yes - its unbuffered inverter structure allows linear-mode operation when DC-biased via external resistors (R1 ≥ 3 kΩ, R2 ≤ 1 MΩ) per Figure 8 of the datasheet. Typical open-loop gain is 20, with unity-gain bandwidth of 5 MHz and output swing of VCC − 1.5 V centered at 0.5×VCC. No internal compensation is provided, so stability depends on external network design.
What is the maximum capacitive load the 74LVC2GU04GW-Q100 can drive reliably in oscillator mode?
The device is characterized for 30–50 pF loads in dynamic testing (Table 10), and Figure 9 shows crystal oscillator use with typical C1 = 47 pF and C2 = 22 pF. Total effective load capacitance should remain ≤60 pF to maintain reliable startup and frequency stability across -40 °C to +125 °C, especially with low-ESR crystals.
Does the 74LVC2GU04GW-Q100 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - unused inputs must be terminated to VCC or GND. Floating CMOS inputs cause increased supply current, unpredictable logic states, and potential thermal overstress due to partial conduction in both FETs. The datasheet specifies no internal termination; resistor values of 10–100 kΩ are typical for automotive EMI resilience.
How does the propagation delay vary with supply voltage and temperature?
Propagation delay decreases with higher VCC: min tpd = 0.3 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, increasing to 5.0 ns max at VCC = 1.65–1.95 V. Over temperature, delay increases by ~15–25% from -40 °C to +125 °C at fixed VCC, as confirmed in Table 8's -40 °C to +125 °C column.
