Product details
Overview
74LVU04DB,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a low-voltage Si-gate CMOS hex unbuffered inverter, pin- and function-compatible with 74HCU04. It operates across 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply, delivers 6 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V/15 pF, supports −40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and features unbuffered single-stage outputs for crystal oscillator and linear amplifier applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVU04DB,118 datasheet, 74LVU04DB,118 pinout, 74LVU04DB,118 application, or 74LVU04DB,118 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SSOP14 package mapping, temperature-rated static/dynamic specs, ESD robustness (HBM >2000 V), and validated alternative options for unbuffered inverter design reuse.
Technical Context
The 74LVU04DB,118 implements six independent CMOS inverters, each with direct gate-to-drain topology and no internal buffering-enabling precise phase inversion and high-gain analog behavior in oscillator feedback loops. Its unbuffered architecture yields low input capacitance (3.5 pF) and enables stable linear amplifier operation with typical open-loop gain of 20 and 5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth.
Designed for wide-voltage interoperability, it maintains guaranteed functionality down to 1.0 V (with rail-referenced inputs) and meets industrial and extended-temperature requirements (−40 °C to +125 °C). Output drive capability reaches ±12 mA at 4.5 V, with ground bounce limited to <0.8 V and VOH undershoot >2 V under 3.3 V conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct interface with 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifting. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 6 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - Supports high-speed clock distribution and oscillator loop timing up to ~80 MHz fundamental frequency. |
| Input Capacitance (CI) | 3.5 pF - Minimizes loading on preceding stages in crystal oscillator or multivibrator feedback paths. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, MM >200 V - Ensures robust handling during board assembly and field operation in non-automotive industrial environments. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood industrial control, power supply monitoring, and telecom infrastructure applications. |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - Sufficient to directly drive 50 Ω transmission lines or parallel TTL loads without external buffers. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | 500 mW (SSOP14) - Allows sustained operation at full speed in compact PCB layouts with moderate airflow. |

74LVU04DB,118 is supplied in SSOP14 (SOT337-1): plastic shrink small outline package, 14 leads, body width 5.3 mm, 0.65 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unbuffered inverter topology | Enables use as high-gain analog amplifier or crystal oscillator active element without added propagation delay or phase shift from internal buffers. |
| Wide voltage operation (1.0–5.5 V) | Eliminates need for separate voltage translators when interfacing mixed-supply subsystems (e.g., 1.8 V MCU driving 3.3 V sensor interface). |
| Low ground bounce (<0.8 V) | Maintains signal integrity in noise-sensitive analog timing circuits by minimizing transient coupling into shared ground planes. |
| High ESD immunity (HBM >2000 V) | Reduces risk of field failure during handling or in electrically noisy industrial environments without requiring additional protection circuitry. |
| −40 °C to +125 °C rating | Supports deployment in extended-temperature applications such as motor drives, power converters, and outdoor communication equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unbuffered inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVU04D,118 | Same electrical specs; packaged in SO14 (SOT108-1), 3.9 mm body width, wider lead pitch (1.27 mm). | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy PCBs with SOIC footprints; slightly higher thermal resistance than SSOP. | Select when board layout uses standard SOIC-14 land pattern or requires easier hand-soldering. |
| SN74LVC04APWR | TI part with buffered outputs, 1.65–5.5 V range, 5.4 ns tpd at 3.3 V, but lacks guaranteed 1.0 V operation and unbuffered analog linearity. | Not suitable for crystal oscillator or linear amplifier use due to internal buffering; optimized for pure digital logic fanout. | Choose only for digital-only inversion with higher drive strength (24 mA) and tighter propagation skew; avoid for analog timing roles. |
Compared with 74LVU04D,118 and SN74LVC04APWR, the 74LVU04DB,118 uniquely combines SSOP14 space efficiency, guaranteed 1.0 V functionality, and unbuffered analog performance-making it the sole option among the three for crystal oscillator and linear amplifier implementations requiring minimal phase distortion and rail-to-rail gain.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage at which 74LVU04DB,118 guarantees correct logic operation?
The 74LVU04DB,118 guarantees functional operation down to 1.0 V supply voltage, with input thresholds referenced to VCC or GND. Static characteristics are fully specified from 1.2 V, but the device remains operational-including correct HIGH/LOW interpretation-at 1.0 V, making it suitable for ultra-low-power battery-backed systems.
Can 74LVU04DB,118 be used in a crystal oscillator circuit, and what external components are needed?
Yes, 74LVU04DB,118 is explicitly qualified for crystal oscillator use per its application notes. A typical Pierce configuration requires one quartz crystal, two load capacitors (e.g., 22 pF and 47 pF), and one feedback resistor (1 MΩ to 10 MΩ). The unbuffered output ensures minimal phase shift, supporting stable oscillation from 3 kHz to 600 kHz.
What is the maximum output current drive capability of 74LVU04DB,118 at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V, the 74LVU04DB,118 delivers up to ±6 mA output current while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4 V and VOH ≥ 2.82 V. This is sufficient to drive multiple 74LVC inputs or terminate 50 Ω lines in low-power clock distribution networks without external buffers.
Does 74LVU04DB,118 support operation at +125 °C ambient temperature?
Yes, the 74LVU04DB,118 is fully specified and tested for continuous operation from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature. Its static and dynamic parameters-including propagation delay, input thresholds, and output drive-are guaranteed across this full industrial+ range per Table 5 and Table 6 of the datasheet.
How does the unbuffered architecture of 74LVU04DB,118 differ from standard buffered inverters like 74LV04?
The unbuffered architecture of 74LVU04DB,118 eliminates internal push-pull staging, resulting in lower input capacitance (3.5 pF vs. ~5 pF), higher open-loop gain (~20 vs. <5), and absence of fixed propagation delay-enabling analog use cases such as linear amplifiers and crystal oscillators that buffered parts cannot support reliably.
