Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC3G07GT,115

Overview

74LVC3G07GT,115 from Nexperia is a triple non-inverting buffer IC with open-drain outputs, designed for level translation and wired-OR/AND logic in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, accepts 5 V-tolerant inputs, features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and supports IOFF partial power-down protection. It is used in I²C bus buffering, LED driver control, and voltage-level interface circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC3G07GT,115 datasheet, 74LVC3G07GT,115 pinout, 74LVC3G07GT,115 application, or 74LVC3G07GT,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include open-drain drive capability (–24 mA at 3.0 V), –40 °C to +125 °C operating range, XSON8 package footprint (1.0 × 1.95 × 0.5 mm), and guaranteed 5 V input tolerance in 1.65 V–5.5 V supply environments.

Technical Context

The 74LVC3G07GT implements three independent CMOS buffer stages, each with Schmitt-trigger input thresholds and open-drain NMOS output transistors. Its IOFF circuit actively disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, enabling hot-swap and partial-power-down system architectures.

All inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, allowing direct interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripherals. Propagation delay ranges from 0.5 ns (at 5 V) to 8.4 ns (at 1.65 V), with input transition rate support down to 10 ns/V at higher supply voltages.

FAQ

Can 74LVC3G07GT,115 be used as a level shifter between 1.8 V and 5 V logic?

Yes - its 5 V-tolerant inputs accept 0–5.5 V signals regardless of VCC, and its open-drain outputs can be pulled up to any voltage ≤ 5.5 V. When VCC = 1.8 V and the output is pulled to 5 V, the device correctly translates 1.8 V logic HIGH (which turns off the NMOS) to 5 V HIGH, and logic LOW (NMOS on) to near-0 V, satisfying bidirectional level-shifting requirements for protocols like I²C.

Does 74LVC3G07GT,115 support hot-plug operation?

Yes - the integrated IOFF circuit disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking back-current flow from powered buses into unpowered sections. This feature is explicitly validated per JEDEC JESD78 and enables safe hot-insertion in modular systems where subsystems power up/down independently, such as in programmable logic carrier boards or field-replaceable compute modules.

What is the maximum capacitive load the 74LVC3G07GT,115 can drive reliably?

Based on dynamic characterization, the device maintains specified propagation delay (tpd ≤ 4.7 ns at VCC = 3.3 V) and output voltage (VOL ≤ 0.8 V at –24 mA) with up to 50 pF total load capacitance, including PCB trace and probe contributions. For loads exceeding 50 pF, rise/fall times increase linearly; design margin requires derating tpd by ~0.1 ns per additional 1 pF beyond 50 pF at 3.3 V supply.

Is the XSON8 package of 74LVC3G07GT,115 compatible with reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020?

Yes - the SOT833-1 (XSON8) package is rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) and fully compliant with IPC-J-STD-020D peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. The 0.5 mm profile and exposed terminal geometry support uniform heating; recommended profile uses ramp-to-peak ≤ 3 °C/s, peak 235–260 °C for 20–40 s, and cooling rate ≤ 6 °C/s to ensure void-free solder joints and die attach integrity.
