Product details
Overview
74LVX02MTR from STMicroelectronics is a low-voltage CMOS quad 2-input NOR gate with 5V-tolerant inputs, operating from 2V to 3.6V supply, delivering 4.5ns typical propagation delay at 3.3V, 4mA output drive, and 2µA max quiescent current - used in level-shifting logic interfaces between 5V and 3.3V systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVX02MTR datasheet, 74LVX02MTR pinout, 74LVX02MTR application, or 74LVX02MTR equivalent, key selection criteria include 5V input tolerance, symmetrical 4mA IOH/IOL, sub-5ns speed at 3.3V, ESD immunity (2kV), and SO-14 package compatibility with legacy 74-series footprints.
Technical Context
The device implements four independent NOR gates using sub-micron C2MOS technology with buffered outputs for high noise immunity. Each gate features identical input thresholds (VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.0V at VCC = 3V) and rail-to-rail 5V-tolerant inputs independent of supply voltage.
Dynamic performance is characterized by balanced tPLH ≅ tPHL, low quiet-output noise (VOLP = 0.3V typ.), and skew <1.0ns across outputs under 50pF load - enabling reliable timing in synchronous logic translation and fanout distribution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2V to 3.6V - supports battery-powered 3.3V systems with 1.2V data retention |
| tPD (typ) | 4.5ns at VCC = 3.3V, CL = 15pF - enables high-speed logic interfacing below 220MHz toggle rate |
| IOH/IOL | ±4mA min - drives standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs without buffering |
| VIH/VIL | 2.0V/0.8V at VCC = 3.0V - ensures robust noise margin (>0.7V) in noisy 3.3V environments |
| Input Tolerance | 0–7V independent of VCC - allows direct connection to 5V signals without external resistors |
| ICC (max) | 2µA at TA = 25°C - enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on control logic |
Pinout & Package
74LVX02MTR is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package per JEDEC MS-012, with gull-wing leads, 1.27mm pitch, and tape-and-reel packaging (MTR suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Active-low NOR gate outputs - each capable of sourcing/sinking 4mA with rail-aligned VOH/VOL |
| 2, 5, 8, 11 | 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A | First input per gate - 5V tolerant, no clamping required when driven from 5V sources |
| 3, 6, 9, 12 | 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B | Second input per gate - identical electrical specs to A inputs, enabling symmetric dual-input logic |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - shared return for all four gates; decoupling capacitor placement critical for noise suppression |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - must be stabilized within 2V–3.6V; power-down protection prevents backfeed during VCC off-state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–7V input voltages regardless of VCC state - eliminates level-shifters in mixed-voltage board designs |
| Symmetrical output drive | |IOH| = |IOL| ≥ 4mA - ensures matched rise/fall times and reduces signal distortion in clocked paths |
| Low dynamic noise | VOLP = 0.3V (typ) at VCC = 3.3V - minimizes ground bounce and crosstalk in dense PCB layouts |
| ESD protection | 2kV HBM on all pins - meets industrial IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements without external TVS diodes |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Portable Medical Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and conditioning digital status signals from 5V field sensors into a 3.3V microcontroller-based logic controller.

Use Value: Balanced tPLH/tPHL ensures deterministic 10ns timing window between enable edges - preventing rail collapse during startup. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC02APWR | Lower VCC min (1.65V), higher speed (3.5ns typ), but only 5.5V input tolerant | Preferred for 1.8V–3.3V-only systems requiring faster switching; not suitable for direct 5V input interfacing | Select when system operates strictly ≤3.3V and needs tighter timing margins |
| 74AHC02PW,118 | Wider VCC range (2–5.5V), higher drive (8mA), but no 5V-tolerant inputs relative to VCC | Requires external clamping for 5V inputs; better for single-supply 5V or mixed 3.3V/5V designs with protection circuitry | Choose when interfacing to 5V sources is handled externally and higher output current is needed |
Compared with SN74LVC02APWR and 74AHC02PW,118, the 74LVX02MTR uniquely combines true 5V input tolerance with sub-5ns speed and ultra-low 2µA standby current - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-powered 3.3V systems interfacing legacy 5V peripherals without added components.

FAQ
Can 74LVX02MTR operate with a 1.8V supply?
No. The recommended operating VCC range is 2.0V to 3.6V. At 1.8V, the device does not meet guaranteed DC specifications including VIH, VIL, and output drive strength. Data retention is supported down to 1.2V, but functional operation requires minimum 2.0V.
Is 74LVX02MTR pin-compatible with standard 74HC02?
Yes - it is pin- and function-compatible with the 74-series 02 logic family, including 74HC02 and 74LS02. All 14 pins match in assignment and physical layout, though electrical behavior (voltage levels, speed, drive) differs due to LVX's low-voltage CMOS process and 5V-tolerant inputs.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The AC characteristics table specifies guaranteed timing up to 50pF load. While the device may function beyond that, propagation delay increases nonlinearly above 50pF, and output ringing or undershoot may occur. For loads >50pF, buffer stages or transmission line termination should be considered.
Does 74LVX02MTR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No - unused inputs may be tied directly to VCC or GND. The internal structure includes no floating-gate risk, and the 5V-tolerant input protection diodes ensure safe biasing. Leaving inputs unconnected is not recommended due to potential noise coupling and increased ICC.
