Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC3G04GN,115

Overview

74LVC3G04GN,115 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 XSON8 (SOT1116) 8-terminal package. It enables level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains in space-constrained industrial control and portable electronics.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC3G04GN,115 datasheet, 74LVC3G04GN,115 pinout, 74LVC3G04GN,115 application, or 74LVC3G04GN,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2 × 1.0 × 0.35 mm XSON8 footprint, -40 °C to +125 °C operating range, Schmitt-trigger noise immunity, IOFF-enabled hot-swap capability, and guaranteed 5 V-tolerant inputs.

Technical Context

This device implements three independent inverting buffers with Schmitt-trigger input thresholds-enabling robust operation with slow-rising signals and high noise immunity. Each channel supports rail-to-rail input voltage (0–5.5 V) and delivers TTL-compatible outputs across its full 1.65–5.5 V VCC range.

The IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting backflow current to ≤±2 μA and enabling safe insertion/removal in live backplane or hot-swap systems. Propagation delay is specified from 0.5 ns (VCC = 5.5 V) to 9.5 ns (VCC = 1.65 V, -40 °C to +85 °C), with dynamic power dissipation governed by CPD = 13.5 pF.

FAQ

Can 74LVC3G04GN,115 operate with VCC = 1.65 V while accepting 5 V inputs?

Yes. The device's inputs are 5 V tolerant across the full 1.65–5.5 V VCC range per Table 6. At VCC = 1.65 V, VIH is 0.65 × VCC (≈1.07 V) and VIL is 0.35 × VCC (≈0.58 V), ensuring correct logic interpretation of 5 V signals without damage or excessive leakage.

What is the maximum capacitive load the outputs can drive reliably?

The outputs are characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance (Table 10). With 24 mA drive at VCC = 3.0 V and tpd ≤5.5 ns, reliable operation is maintained for CL ≤50 pF. For larger loads, propagation delay increases linearly; derating is required beyond this value per Figure 6 and Table 8.

Does the IOFF feature require external pull-up/down resistors?

No. IOFF is an internal circuit that automatically disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage to ≤±2 μA regardless of input/output voltage. External resistors are unnecessary unless needed for system-level biasing during complete power removal.

How does the Schmitt-trigger input improve noise immunity compared to standard CMOS inputs?

Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis: VIH (e.g., 2.0 V at VCC = 3.3 V) and VIL (e.g., 0.8 V) differ by ~1.2 V. This prevents oscillation on slow or noisy edges, enabling clean transitions from mechanical switches, thermistors, or long traces where ringing or EMI would cause chatter in standard inverters.
