Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC3G04GT,115

Overview

74LVC3G04GT,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 operation from −40 °C to +125 °C. It serves as a level translator and signal conditioner in mixed-voltage logic interfaces, such as USB peripheral control lines or sensor interface buffers.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC3G04GT,115 datasheet, 74LVC3G04GT,115 pinout, 74LVC3G04GT,115 application, or 74LVC3G04GT,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include input threshold compatibility across 3.3 V/5 V domains, guaranteed propagation delay under 5.5 ns at 5 V, IOFF-enabled hot-swap capability, and XSON8 package thermal performance for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Technical Context

This device implements three independent inverting buffers with Schmitt-trigger inputs-each providing hysteresis (typically 0.3 V at VCC = 3.3 V) to reject noise on slow-rising signals. Its IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current during partial system power-down.

The logic is fully compliant with JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, and JESD8B/JESD36 across its operating voltage range. Input thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., VIH = 0.7 × VCC at 4.5–5.5 V), while VOL remains ≤0.55 V at 24 mA sink and VOH ≥2.3 V at same load, ensuring robust TTL and LVTTL interoperability.

FAQ

Can the 74LVC3G04GT,115 operate with VCC = 1.8 V while driving 5 V-tolerant loads?

Yes. The device is fully specified from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply and features 5 V tolerant inputs and outputs. At VCC = 1.8 V, VOH remains ≥1.2 V (min) at 4 mA load, sufficient to meet VIH thresholds of 5 V TTL and LVTTL receivers. Output swing does not reach 5 V, but input tolerance ensures safe connection to 5 V buses.

Does the IOFF function require external pull-up or pull-down resistors?

No. The IOFF circuitry internally disables the output FETs when VCC = 0 V, presenting a high-impedance state without external biasing. This eliminates risk of contention or backfeed current in live-backplane or hot-swap scenarios, and no external resistors are needed to maintain defined logic states during power-down.

What is the maximum recommended PCB trace length for 100 MHz signals using this device?

At 100 MHz, the 3.8 ns max propagation delay corresponds to ~1.1 m electrical length in FR-4. However, signal integrity is dominated by capacitive loading: with CPD = 13.5 pF and typical 2–3 pF/inch trace capacitance, keep total trace + load capacitance ≤30 pF. For point-to-point routing, limit length to ≤2 inches with controlled impedance (50 Ω) and local VCC/GND decoupling.

Is the XSON8 package (SOT833-1) compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?

Yes. The SOT833-1 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), allowing unlimited floor life and compatibility with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 60 s max above 217 °C). Its 0.5 mm height and exposed thermal pad (if used) support efficient heat dissipation during reflow and operation.
