Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC3G06GF,115

Overview

74LVC3G06GF,115 from Nexperia is a triple inverter IC with open-drain outputs, designed for level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF partial power-down protection, and operates across 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply. Used in I²C bus pull-up control, LED driver enable logic, and mixed-voltage GPIO interfacing.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC3G06GF,115 datasheet, 74LVC3G06GF,115 pinout, 74LVC3G06GF,115 application, or 74LVC3G06GF,115 equivalent, this device serves as a compact, low-power logic translator with robust ESD protection (HBM >2000 V), wide temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C), and compatibility with TTL-level inputs.

Technical Context

The 74LVC3G06GF,115 implements three independent inverting buffers, each with an open-drain output requiring external pull-up. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs accept slow-rising signals and tolerate input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling bidirectional voltage translation. The IOFF circuit disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during hot insertion or partial power-down.

It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, and JESD8-B/JESD36 across its 1.65–5.5 V operating range. Propagation delay ranges from 0.5 ns (VCC = 5.5 V) to 8.2 ns (VCC = 1.65 V, –40 °C to +125 °C), with dynamic power dissipation governed by CPD = 5.9 pF at VCC = 3.3 V.

FAQ

Can 74LVC3G06GF,115 be used as a level shifter between 1.8 V and 5 V logic?

Yes. Its overvoltage-tolerant inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and its open-drain outputs can be pulled up to any voltage ≤5.5 V. When powered from 1.8 V, it safely translates 5 V inputs to 1.8 V-compatible logic levels, provided the pull-up voltage matches the destination logic rail.

What is the maximum sink current per output at VCC = 1.8 V?

At VCC = 1.8 V, the typical output low voltage (VOL) is 0.45 V at 4 mA sink current. The absolute maximum output current is 50 mA (per limiting values), but sustained operation above 8 mA at 1.8 V may exceed VOL specifications and thermal limits in the XSON8 package.

Does the IOFF feature work when only one supply rail is powered down?

Yes. IOFF activates whenever VCC = 0 V, disabling all three outputs into high-impedance state regardless of input voltages. This prevents current backflow from powered sections (e.g., 5 V I²C bus) into unpowered logic (e.g., 3.3 V MCU domain), satisfying JEDEC JESD78 latch-up immunity requirements.

Is the 74LVC3G06GF,115 RoHS and REACH compliant?

Yes. As a Nexperia product manufactured after 2006, the 74LVC3G06GF,115 conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available via Nexperia's product change notification portal.
