Product details
Overview
74LVC3G04GM,125 from Nexperia is a triple CMOS inverter IC with Schmitt-trigger inputs, 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply range, ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, IOFF partial power-down protection, and operation from –40 °C to +125 °C. It serves as a level-translating signal conditioner in mixed-voltage digital interfaces such as I²C bus buffering, sensor interface logic, and microcontroller GPIO expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC3G04GM,125 datasheet, 74LVC3G04GM,125 pinout, 74LVC3G04GM,125 application, or 74LVC3G04GM,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage tolerance (5 V compatible), propagation delay (as low as 0.5 ns at 5 V), IOFF-enabled hot-swap capability, and XQFN8 package footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device integrates three independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity against slow-rising signals and robust operation across 1.65–5.5 V supply rails. Its IOFF circuit actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking backflow current when VCC = 0 V - critical for live-insertion systems and multi-rail power sequencing.
Each inverter supports bidirectional level translation: inputs accept 3.3 V or 5 V logic while outputs drive 5 V-tolerant loads. Propagation delay varies with supply voltage (e.g., 1.9 ns typical at VCC = 5.0 V) and is specified over full industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without external level shifters. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive multiple standard CMOS/TTL loads or moderate capacitive traces (≤30 pF) without buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.5 ns (min) to 3.8 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - ensures timing-critical signal inversion with sub-nanosecond jitter margin in high-speed control paths. |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ±2 μA max at VCC = 0 V - guarantees safe isolation during partial power-down, preventing bus contention or latch-up in hot-plug applications. |
| Input Hysteresis | Typical 0.3 V at VCC = 3.3 V - rejects noise on slow-switching signals (e.g., mechanical switch debouncing, analog sensor thresholds) without external RC networks. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and board-level integration without additional protection circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLC I/O, and high-ambient embedded controllers. |
Pinout & Package
XQFN8 package (SOT902-2): plastic ultra-thin quad flat no-lead, 1.4 × 1.2 × 0.45 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, wettable flank terminals for automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder joint reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 6 | Input (1A, 2A, 3A) | Three independent logic inputs with Schmitt-trigger action; tolerate 5 V even at 1.65 V supply - enables mixed-voltage signal conditioning. |
| 2, 5, 7 | Output (3Y, 2Y, 1Y) | Inverted outputs with rail-to-rail swing; 5 V tolerant - drives downstream 5 V logic or open-drain pull-ups without clamping diodes. |
| 4 | GND | Dedicated ground reference for noise suppression; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| 8 | VCC | Single supply input; supports wide voltage range and powers all three inverters - eliminates need for separate regulators per logic stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enables reliable switching on slow or noisy signals (e.g., thermistor-based thresholds, rotary encoder A/B phases) without external hysteresis components. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents destructive back-current flow when VCC is unpowered - essential for PCIe add-in cards, modular sensor nodes, and hot-swappable I/O expanders. |
| 5 V tolerant outputs | Allows direct connection to legacy 5 V peripherals (e.g., UART transceivers, SPI flash, discrete MOSFET gates) while powered from modern 3.3 V or lower rails. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 13.5 pF - minimizes switching power (PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N) in battery-powered IoT edge nodes operating at ≤10 MHz clock rates. |
| JEDEC-compliant voltage ranges | Validated per JESD8-7 (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5 (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8B/JESD36 (2.7–3.6 V) - ensures interoperability across multi-vendor SoC platforms. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage when VCC = 1.8 V?
The 74LVC3G04GM,125 supports 5 V tolerant inputs regardless of supply voltage. When VCC = 1.8 V, inputs may swing up to 5.5 V without damage or functional degradation - confirmed by JEDEC JESD8-7 compliance and absolute maximum rating VI = –0.5 V to +6.5 V.
Does the IOFF feature require external biasing or control signals?
No. IOFF activates automatically when VCC drops below ~0.2 V; no external enable pin or resistor network is needed. The output terminals enter high-impedance state with leakage <±2 μA, satisfying IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity requirements during partial power-down.
Can this device replace 74HC04 in existing designs?
Yes, with qualification. While pin-compatible in XQFN8, the 74LVC3G04GM,125 operates down to 1.65 V (vs. 2.0 V for HC), has stronger drive (±24 mA vs. ±4 mA), and adds IOFF/Schmitt features. Verify timing margins and input hysteresis impact on existing signal edges before drop-in replacement.
Is the XQFN8 package (SOT902-2) compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes. The 74LVC3G04GM,125 in SOT902-2 conforms to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Its 0.5 mm pitch and wettable flank design are validated for Type II solder paste and standard convection reflow profiles used in Class III electronics manufacturing.
