Product details

Overview

74LVCU04AD,112 from Nexperia is a hex unbuffered inverter IC in SO14 package, operating from 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply, with ±24 mA output drive, 3.7 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, and TTL-compatible inputs. It serves as a signal-level logic inverter in low-voltage digital interface circuits such as I²C bus level shifting and clock signal conditioning.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVCU04AD,112 datasheet, 74LVCU04AD,112 pinout, 74LVCU04AD,112 application, or 74LVCU04AD,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage range compatibility, output drive strength for capacitive loads, propagation delay budget in timing-critical paths, and input threshold behavior under mixed-voltage interfacing.

Technical Context

This device implements six independent unbuffered CMOS inverters in a single monolithic IC. Each gate features symmetrical input thresholds (V_IH ≈ 0.7×V_CC, V_IL ≈ 0.3×V_CC) and rail-to-rail output swing, enabling robust noise immunity and clean signal inversion across its full 1.65–3.6 V operating range.

No internal pull-up or pull-down resistors are integrated; external biasing is required for open-input handling. The unbuffered architecture minimizes propagation delay but increases sensitivity to capacitive loading-verified up to 50 pF at 3.3 V with specified t_pd ≤ 4.8 ns.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Supply Voltage	1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic families without level shifters.
Output Drive	±24 mA at V_CC = 3.3 V - sufficient to drive four LVC loads or moderate PCB trace capacitance without signal degradation.
Propagation Delay	3.7 ns (typ) at V_CC = 3.3 V, C_L = 50 pF - enables use in sub-100 MHz digital control paths with tight timing margins.
Input Threshold	V_IL ≤ 0.3×V_CC, V_IH ≥ 0.7×V_CC - ensures reliable switching with standard CMOS/TTL input levels across voltage range.
Static Power	≤ 10 µA at V_CC = 3.6 V - suitable for always-on logic functions in battery-sensitive applications.
ESD Rating	HBM ±2 kV - meets industrial-grade ESD robustness requirements without external protection diodes.

Pinout & Package

74LVCU04AD,112 is housed in a 14-pin small outline (SO14) package with 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and rated for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13	Input (A1–A6)	CMOS-compatible high-impedance inputs accepting 1.65–3.6 V logic levels; no internal termination.
2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14	Output (Y1–Y6)	Push-pull CMOS outputs delivering rail-to-rail swing and ±24 mA drive capability.
7	GND	Dedicated ground reference for all six gates; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise.
14	V_CC	Single positive supply rail shared by all inverters; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 10 mm.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Unbuffered inverter topology	Reduces propagation delay by ~30% vs buffered equivalents, critical for clock edge sharpening and pulse shaping.
Wide supply range (1.65–3.6 V)	Enables drop-in replacement across 1.8 V microcontroller I/O, 2.5 V FPGA banks, and 3.3 V peripheral interfaces.
TTL-compatible input thresholds	Accepts legacy 5 V-tolerant logic outputs when V_CC ≥ 2.3 V, simplifying mixed-voltage board design.
Low dynamic power consumption	Typical I_CC = 10 µA at 1 MHz toggle rate - extends battery life in portable sensor nodes and wearables.

Applications

Industrial Sensor Interface

I²C Bus Level Shifting

Use Scenario: Inverting noisy open-collector sensor output signals before ADC sampling in PLC modules.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal conditioning inverter that restores logic polarity and strengthens drive for downstream analog front-end circuitry.

Use Value: Enables reliable signal recovery with <4 ns delay and ±24 mA drive into 200 Ω/50 pF load, reducing sampling jitter.

Use Scenario: Bidirectional level translation between 3.3 V master and 1.8 V slave devices on I²C SDA/SCL lines.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unbuffered inverter used in classic "clamped" level-shifter topology with pull-up resistors.

Use Value: Provides fast, low-skew inversion (t_pd = 3.7 ns) essential for maintaining I²C timing budgets up to 400 kHz.

Microcontroller Clock Conditioning

FPGA Configuration Logic

Use Scenario: Sharpening slow-rising oscillator signals feeding ARM Cortex-M reset or clock enable inputs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-accelerating inverter placed directly at MCU clock input to reduce rise/fall time asymmetry.

Use Value: Delivers <1.5 ns rise/fall time improvement over raw crystal output, ensuring setup/hold compliance at 24 MHz.

Use Scenario: Inverting configuration status flags (e.g., INIT_B, DONE) routed from FPGA to system controller.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Glue logic inverter providing active-low assertion of FPGA configuration completion signals.

Use Value: Guarantees <5 ns max skew across six parallel status lines, supporting synchronous multi-FPGA boot sequencing.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unbuffered inverter applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
SN74LVCU04APW	Same electrical specs; TSSOP-14 package with 0.65 mm pitch vs SO14's 1.27 mm.	Requires rework of land pattern and stencil; higher assembly cost but smaller footprint.	Select for space-constrained PCBs where thermal performance permits TSSOP mounting.
74AUP1G04GW,125	Single-gate variant in SC-70; lower I_CC (0.9 µA), slower t_pd (10.3 ns @ 3.3 V), same V_CC range.	Not pin-compatible; suited for ultra-low-power, low-frequency point-of-use inversion only.	Select when only one inverter is needed and power budget is <1 µA average.

Compared with SN74LVCU04APW and 74AUP1G04GW,125, the 74LVCU04AD,112 uniquely balances six-channel density, SO14 manufacturability, and sub-4 ns speed-making it optimal for industrial control boards requiring proven assembly yield and timing margin.

FAQ

Is 74LVCU04AD,112 compatible with 5 V input signals?

No-its inputs are not 5 V tolerant. Absolute maximum input voltage is V_CC + 0.5 V. Applying 5 V to any input when V_CC ≤ 3.6 V risks permanent damage. For 5 V signal interfacing, use a dedicated level translator or a 5 V-tolerant logic family like 74LVT.

Can this device drive a 100 pF capacitive load?

At 3.3 V supply, propagation delay increases to 6.2 ns and output transition times degrade beyond specification when driving >50 pF. For 100 pF loads, add a series resistor (22–47 Ω) near the output to damp ringing and maintain signal integrity.

What is the recommended decoupling for 74LVCU04AD,112?

A 100 nF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 10 mm of pin 14 (V_CC) and pin 7 (GND) is mandatory. For boards with multiple 74LVCU04AD,112 units, add one 4.7 µF tantalum per 3–4 ICs on the same V_CC net to suppress low-frequency supply droop.

Does this part have Schmitt-trigger inputs?

No-74LVCU04AD,112 uses standard CMOS input stages with symmetric thresholds (~0.3 V_CC/0.7 V_CC). For hysteresis-based noise rejection, select the 74LVC1G14 (Schmitt-trigger inverter) in the same package.
