Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVT04D-Q100J

Overview

74LVT04D-Q100 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V automotive-qualified hex inverter IC with BiCMOS output drive, IOFF partial power-down protection, and 5.5 V overvoltage-tolerant inputs. It delivers 32 mA sink / -20 mA source drive at 3.3 V supply, operates from -40 °C to +85 °C, and is packaged in SO14 (SOT108-1) for use in automotive body control modules requiring robust logic-level translation and bus isolation.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVT04D-Q100 datasheet, 74LVT04D-Q100 pinout, 74LVT04D-Q100 application, or 74LVT04D-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include IOFF-enabled partial power-down behavior, 5.5 V input tolerance with 3.3 V supply, propagation delay ≤3.9 ns at 3.3 V, AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification, and SO14 package compatibility with legacy 74-series footprint layouts.

Technical Context

The 74LVT04D-Q100 implements six independent CMOS-compatible inverters using BiCMOS process technology to achieve high-speed switching (tPLH/tPHL ≤3.9 ns typical at 3.3 V) while maintaining TTL-level input compatibility and rail-to-rail output swing. Its IOFF circuit actively disables outputs during VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current when interfacing with live 5 V buses.

Input clamping supports up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC state, enabling safe connection to mixed-voltage systems. The device complies with JEDEC JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V), meets HBM ESD >2000 V and CDM >1000 V, and exhibits latch-up immunity exceeding 500 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B.

FAQ

Can 74LVT04D-Q100 safely interface with a 5 V microcontroller while powered from 3.3 V?

Yes. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC state, allowing direct connection to 5 V MCU GPIOs without external level shifters or clamping diodes. This is confirmed in Table 5 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Section 2 features.

Does 74LVT04D-Q100 support hot-swap or partial power-down operation?

Yes. The integrated IOFF circuit disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current into powered subsystems. This behavior is explicitly specified in Section 1 (General description) and Table 2 (Pin description).

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive while maintaining timing specs?

Per Table 8 test data, the device is characterized with 50 pF load capacitance and maintains tPLH/tPHL ≤3.9 ns at 3.3 V. Driving >50 pF may increase propagation delay and reduce edge rate, but no derating curve is provided beyond that point.

Is the SO14 package (SOT108-1) pin-compatible with legacy 74HC04 or 74LS04 footprints?

Yes. The SO14 package uses standard 1.27 mm pitch and identical 14-pin gull-wing layout as industry-standard 74-series SOIC packages, enabling drop-in replacement in existing PCB designs without layout modification.
