Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVT04PW-Q100J

Overview

74LVT04PW-Q100 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V automotive-qualified hex inverter IC with IOFF partial power-down capability, 6 independent CMOS-compatible inverters, -40 °C to +85 °C operating range, and overvoltage-tolerant 5.5 V inputs - used for level-shifting and signal inversion in automotive body control modules.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVT04PW-Q100 datasheet, 74LVT04PW-Q100 pinout, 74LVT04PW-Q100 application, or 74LVT04PW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include IOFF-enabled bus isolation during power sequencing, TTL-level compatibility, 2.7–3.6 V supply flexibility, and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification for under-hood electronics.

Technical Context

This BiCMOS hex inverter integrates six independent inverting buffers with rail-to-rail input tolerance up to 5.5 V and output drive capability of ±32 mA at 3.3 V. Its IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current during hot-swap or partial power-down events.

The device complies with JEDEC JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V), supports direct TTL interfacing without pull-ups, and exhibits low static current (ICCL ≤ 3 mA) and fast propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.9 ns at 3.3 V), enabling reliable use in high-speed digital control paths.

FAQ

Does 74LVT04PW-Q100 support true 5 V input logic levels while operating at 3.3 V?

Yes - its inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, allowing direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers, sensors, or legacy buses without external level-shifting components. This is confirmed in Table 5 (VI max = 5.5 V) and Section 2 features.

What happens to the outputs when VCC is disconnected or at 0 V?

When VCC = 0 V, the IOFF circuit forces all six outputs into a high-impedance state, limiting back-current to ±100 μA (Table 6, IOFF). This prevents damage or corruption on live 5 V buses during partial power-down - a key requirement for automotive domain controllers.

Is the 74LVT04PW-Q100 pin-compatible with standard 74-series hex inverters like 74HC04?

No - while functional behavior matches (six independent inverters), pinout differs significantly: 74LVT04PW-Q100 uses alternating input-output layout (1A–1Y–2A–2Y…), unlike 74HC04's grouped inputs/outputs. PCB layout must follow SOT402-1 pin configuration in Figure 5, not generic 74xx footprints.

Can this device drive a 50 pF capacitive load at 10 MHz without signal degradation?

Yes - per Table 8, test data specifies CL = 50 pF and fi ≤ 10 MHz with tr/tf ≤ 2.5 ns. Measured tPLH/tPHL remain ≤3.9 ns under those conditions (Table 7), confirming clean edge integrity and adequate drive strength for typical MCU interface or clock fanout applications.
