Product details
Overview
74LVQ04MTR from STMicroelectronics is a low-voltage CMOS hex inverter with 6 independent inverters in a 14-pin SOIC package, operating from 2.0 V to 3.6 V, delivering 4.5 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V and symmetrical ±12 mA output drive at 3.0 V - used in 3.3 V logic interfacing, PCI bus signal conditioning, and noise-sensitive clock buffering.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVQ04MTR datasheet, 74LVQ04MTR pinout, 74LVQ04MTR application, or 74LVQ04MTR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed PCI bus drive (24 mA), 75 Ω transmission line compatibility, sub-1 V dynamic output noise (VOLP = 0.3 V typ.), and latch-up immunity for industrial-level reliability.
Technical Context
The device implements three-stage buffered CMOS inverter architecture to enhance noise immunity and stabilize output transitions. Its input and output stages are protected against ESD (2 kV HBM) and feature symmetrical |IOH| = IOL ≥ 12 mA drive capability at 3.0 V.
It operates across –55 °C to +125 °C with guaranteed truth table functionality from 1.2 V to 3.6 V, and supports data retention down to 1.2 V. Input rise/fall time is specified up to 10 ns/V to ensure robust edge handling on high-speed traces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V systems and partial operation during brown-out |
| tPD (Propagation Delay) | 4.5 ns (typ.) at VCC = 3.3 V - supports >100 MHz toggle rates in non-critical timing paths |
| IOL / IOH Drive | ±12 mA (min.) at VCC = 3.0 V - drives 75 Ω transmission lines without external termination |
| VOLP (Dynamic Quiet Output) | 0.3 V (typ.) at VCC = 3.3 V - limits ground bounce in multi-output switching scenarios |
| ICC Quiescent Current | 2 µA (max.) at TA = 25 °C - enables ultra-low static power in battery-backed or standby logic |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V at VCC = 3.0 V - ensures TTL-compatible logic recognition |
| ESD Immunity | 2 kV HBM - protects against handling-induced discharge without external clamping |
Pinout & Package
74LVQ04MTR is housed in a 14-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, 8.55–8.75 mm body length, and tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | 1A–6A Inputs | CMOS logic inputs accepting 0–VCC voltage range; TTL-compatible thresholds at 3.3 V |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | 1Y–6Y Outputs | Inverted outputs with symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability and low dynamic noise |
| 7 | GND | Dedicated ground reference for all internal logic and output stages |
| 14 | VCC | Single positive supply rail supporting full 2.0–3.6 V operating range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PCI Bus Level Guarantee | 24 mA drive capability validated per PCI specification - eliminates need for external buffers in add-in card designs |
| 75 Ω Transmission Line Driving | Output impedance matched to common PCB trace impedance - reduces reflections in point-to-point routing |
| Balanced Propagation Delays | tPLH ≅ tPHL - minimizes duty cycle distortion in clock inversion or waveform shaping applications |
| Sub-micron C2MOS Process | Enables low ICC and high noise immunity via 3-stage buffered output architecture |
| Extended Temperature Range | –55 °C to +125 °C operation - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC04APWR | Lower ICC (1 µA max), but VOLP = 0.6 V (typ.) - higher dynamic noise than 74LVQ04MTR | Optimized for ultra-low-power portable devices; less suitable for high-speed transmission line driving | Select when quiescent current is critical and transmission line drive is not required |
| MC74VHC04DT | Wider VCC range (2.0–5.5 V), but tPD = 7.5 ns (typ.) at 3.3 V - slower propagation than 74LVQ04MTR | Supports mixed-voltage systems; not optimized for PCI-compliant 24 mA drive | Select when interoperability with 5 V logic is needed and speed is secondary |
Compared with SN74LVC04APWR and MC74VHC04DT, the 74LVQ04MTR uniquely balances PCI-level drive strength, 4.5 ns speed, and 0.3 V dynamic noise - making it optimal for noise-constrained 3.3 V bus interfaces where timing and signal integrity are co-prioritized.

FAQ
Is 74LVQ04MTR pin-compatible with standard 74HC04 or 74LS04?
Yes - it is pin- and function-compatible with the 74-series 04 inverter family, including identical 14-pin SOIC layout and input/output mapping. However, its 2.0–3.6 V supply range and PCI-level drive differ from 5 V-only variants like 74LS04, so voltage domain compatibility must be verified.
Does 74LVQ04MTR support 1.8 V operation?
No - the absolute minimum recommended VCC is 2.0 V per Table 5. While data retention is specified down to 1.2 V, functional operation (including guaranteed VIH/VIL and output drive) begins only at 2.0 V. For 1.8 V systems, consider the 74LVC04 series instead.
What is the significance of "Q" in 74LVQ04?
The "Q" suffix denotes STMicroelectronics' proprietary enhanced performance grade: improved latch-up immunity, tighter AC specs (e.g., skew < 1.0 ns), and guaranteed 75 Ω transmission line drive - distinguishing it from baseline 74LV04 variants in reliability-critical applications.
Can 74LVQ04MTR drive multiple loads simultaneously without degrading VOLP?
Yes - its low dynamic quiet output (VOLP = 0.3 V typ.) is measured under worst-case conditions with multiple outputs switching. The buffered 3-stage output architecture maintains noise margin even with up to six driven loads, provided PCB layout minimizes shared ground inductance.
