NXP Semiconductors 74LVC3G06GN,115

Overview

74LVC3G06GN,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. Its XSON8 package (SOT1116, 1.2 × 1.0 × 0.35 mm) supports high-density PCB layouts in industrial control and sensor interface applications.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC3G06GN,115 datasheet, 74LVC3G06GN,115 pinout, 74LVC3G06GN,115 application, or 74LVC3G06GN,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include open-drain drive capability (−24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V), input overvoltage tolerance to 5.5 V, −40 °C to +125 °C operating range, and IOFF-enabled bus isolation during power sequencing.

Technical Context

This device integrates three independent inverting buffers, each with an open-drain output stage enabling wired-AND configurations and I²C-compatible bus driving. Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (typ. 0.3 V at VCC = 3.3 V), improving noise margin against slow-rising signals from microcontrollers or sensors.

The IOFF circuit actively disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking back-current flow from powered buses into unpowered sections-critical for hot-swap and multi-rail system designs. Input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V allows direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL outputs without external resistors.

FAQ

Can 74LVC3G06GN,115 drive a 10 kΩ pull-up to 5 V while powered from 3.3 V?

Yes. With VCC = 3.3 V and VO = 0.55 V max at IO = 24 mA, the output can sink ≥0.45 mA into a 10 kΩ pull-up to 5 V (I = (5 V − 0.55 V)/10 kΩ = 0.445 mA). The device's −24 mA rating provides ample margin, ensuring reliable LOW-state logic levels even with aging or temperature drift.

Does the IOFF feature work when VCC is disconnected but GND remains connected?

Yes. IOFF activates whenever VCC is ≤0.2 V, regardless of GND continuity. With GND connected and VCC floating or grounded, the output transistors are fully disabled, limiting back-current to ±2 μA maximum-verified per Table 7's IOFF specification at VCC = 0 V.

What is the minimum recommended pull-up resistor for I²C operation at 400 kHz?

For 400 kHz I²C with 3.3 V VCC and 200 pF bus capacitance, a 2.2 kΩ pull-up ensures rise time <300 ns (per I²C spec). At VOL = 0.55 V max and IO = 24 mA, the 74LVC3G06GN,115 sustains this load while maintaining valid LOW-level voltage, confirmed by Figure 4 propagation delay data and Table 7 VOL limits.

Is the 74LVC3G06GN,115 qualified for automotive applications?

No. While rated for −40 °C to +125 °C, this part carries no AEC-Q100 qualification and is explicitly designated for industrial, computing, and consumer use per Nexperia's product status documentation. Automotive designs require verified AEC-Q100 Grade 2 or 3 variants such as 74LVC3G06GW,125.
