Product details
Overview
CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified octal buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 2.0 V to 3.6 V VCC operation. It features dual active-low output-enable inputs (OE1, OE2), supports mixed-mode 5-V input/3.3-V VCC interfacing, and delivers 5.3 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V - ideal for bus driving and memory address buffering in automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 datasheet, CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 pinout, CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 application, or CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (-40°C to +125°C), Ioff partial-power-down support, 5.5-V tolerant inputs, and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with high-density automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 implements eight noninverting buffer channels with independent 3-state control via a dual-input AND gate (OE1 and OE2, both active-low). Its Ioff circuitry disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, enabling safe hot-insertion in modular automotive subsystems.
It supports true mixed-voltage operation: inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (2.0–3.6 V), allowing direct interface between legacy 5-V logic and modern 3.3-V microcontrollers. Output ground bounce (VOLP) remains below 0.8 V and VOHV undershoot exceeds 2 V at 3.3 V, ensuring signal integrity in noisy vehicle environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - enables direct use with 2.5-V and 3.3-V automotive MCUs without level-shifting. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows connection to 5-V sensors or legacy peripherals without external clamping. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 5.3 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - supports high-speed data transfer on CAN/LIN peripheral buses or memory address lines. |
| Ioff Support | Yes - prevents damaging current flow when VCC = 0 V, critical for modular ECU power sequencing. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and transmission control applications. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or fan-out to ≥10 LVC loads. |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - exceeds automotive system-level ESD immunity requirements per ISO 10605. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (PW), 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm height, lead pitch 0.65 mm, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low 3-state enable inputs; both must be low for output drivers to be active - provides dual-control redundancy for safety-critical enable paths. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Noninverting data inputs - placed on left side to simplify routing from MCU GPIO or address bus. |
| 11–18 | Y1–Y8 | Noninverting 3-state outputs - positioned on right side to enable straight-through PCB trace layout across bus lines. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - dedicated pin adjacent to VCC for low-inductance decoupling near power entry. |
| 20 | VCC | Supply voltage input - placed opposite GND to minimize supply loop area and reduce switching noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-voltage translation | 5-V-tolerant inputs with 3.3-V VCC operation - eliminates need for discrete level shifters in hybrid-voltage ECUs. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Outputs automatically disable when VCC = 0 V - prevents backfeed into powered-down domains during sleep/wake transitions. |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at 3.3 V - maintains logic low integrity during simultaneous output switching in motor driver interfaces. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certified - validated for continuous operation in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor hubs. |
| High noise immunity | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V - ensures robust operation amid automotive electrical transients and RF interference. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Address Buffering | Body Control Module (BCM) I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer/driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC540AQPWRQ1 | No G4 suffix; same PW package, identical electrical specs, but lacks TI's enhanced green marking (G4 = halogen-free, matte tin finish). | Identical functional behavior in all automotive applications; differs only in material composition compliance documentation. | Select CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 when halogen-free manufacturing and IPC-1752-compliant materials reporting are required. |
| SN74LVC540ADGSRQ1 | VSSOP-20 (DGS) package: 4.5 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.5-mm pitch; higher thermal resistance (θJA = 135°C/W vs. 83°C/W for PW). | Better suited for ultra-compact modules where board area is constrained, but requires tighter layout control for thermal management. | Choose SN74LVC540ADGSRQ1 only when footprint reduction outweighs thermal derating needs in sealed enclosures. |
Compared with SN74LVC540AQPWRQ1, CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 adds halogen-free compliance and matte tin finish for stricter environmental programs; versus SN74LVC540ADGSRQ1, it offers lower thermal impedance and broader reflow process margin in standard automotive SMT lines.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1?
The CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 is rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified. This range covers under-hood engine control, transmission control, and chassis module environments where sustained high-temperature exposure occurs. All electrical parameters in the datasheet are guaranteed across this full range.
Does CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 support partial power-down operation?
Yes, CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 includes Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing current backflow from live inputs into a powered-down system domain. This feature is essential for modular automotive ECUs undergoing selective power cycling and is verified per JESD78 latch-up testing.
Can CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 interface between 5-V and 3.3-V logic domains?
Yes, CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V while operating from a 2.0–3.6 V VCC supply. This allows direct connection of 5-V sensors or legacy peripherals to 3.3-V microcontrollers without external level shifters - confirmed by VI absolute maximum rating and VIH/VIL specifications across VCC.
What is the maximum propagation delay of CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 at 3.3 V?
The maximum propagation delay (tpd) of CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 is 5.3 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C, with CL = 50 pF. This value is measured from input transition to valid output transition and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range per the switching characteristics table.
Is CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74LVC540A-Q1 family?
CLVC540AQPWRG4Q1 uses the TSSOP-20 (PW) package with standard 0.65-mm pitch and JEDEC MO-153 outline. It shares identical pin numbering and function mapping with SN74LVC540AQPWRQ1 and SN74LVC540ADGSRQ1, though VSSOP-20 (DGS) has different physical dimensions and thermal characteristics requiring layout revision.
