Product details
Overview
MC74LCX04DTR2 from onsemi is a low-voltage CMOS hex inverter with 5 V-tolerant inputs, operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply. It delivers balanced ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, features near-zero static supply current (10 µA), and supports automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification. It is used in level-shifting logic interfaces between 3.3 V/2.5 V systems and legacy 5 V TTL buses.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCX04DTR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include 5 V input tolerance under sub-5 V VCC, propagation delay ≤4.2 ns (at 4.5–5.5 V), LVTTL/LVCMOS compatibility, and TSSOP-14 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MC74LCX04DTR2 implements six independent CMOS inverter stages in a single monolithic IC, each with high-impedance TTL-compatible inputs and rail-to-rail push-pull outputs. Its input structure allows safe interfacing with 5 V logic while powered from as low as 1.65 V, eliminating external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems.
It exhibits latchup immunity exceeding 100 mA and ESD robustness >2000 V HBM. The device operates across −40 °C to +125 °C, with propagation delays specified from 1.5 ns (at 2.3–3.6 V) to 4.2 ns (at 4.5–5.5 V), and maintains stable VIH/VIL thresholds across VCC ranges per JEDEC JESD8-5A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct operation in 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V domains without voltage translation. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - Allows 5 V TTL signals to drive inputs safely even when VCC = 3.3 V or lower. |
| Output Drive @ 3.0 V | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive multiple LVTTL loads or moderate capacitive loads (e.g., 50 pF) with fast edge rates. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤4.2 ns max (4.5–5.5 V) - Supports >100 MHz toggle rates in critical timing paths. |
| Quiescent Current | 10 µA max - Minimizes standby power in battery-backed or always-on subsystems. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Validated for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| ESD Rating | Human Body Model >2000 V - Reduces risk of field failure during handling and assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC04APWR | Same 1.65–5.5 V VCC, but only rated to +85 °C (not 125 °C); 24 mA drive at 3.3 V; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Not suitable for under-hood automotive or extended-temperature industrial use; acceptable for commercial-grade consumer electronics. | Select SN74LVC04APWR only if ambient temperature stays ≤85 °C and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| 74AUP1G04GW,125 | Single-gate variant (not hex); ultra-low ICC (0.9 µA typ); VCC = 0.8–3.6 V only; no 5 V input tolerance. | Requires six separate packages for equivalent functionality; incompatible with 5 V signal sources; limited to sub-3.6 V systems. | Choose 74AUP1G04GW,125 only for ultra-low-power, single-channel needs in 1.8 V/2.5 V-only designs. |
Compared with SN74LVC04APWR and 74AUP1G04GW,125, the MC74LCX04DTR2 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 5 V input tolerance at full −40 °C to +125 °C range, and hex integration in TSSOP-14-making it the sole option for automotive body electronics requiring drop-in reliability and mixed-voltage interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MC74LCX04DTR2 can tolerate when VCC = 3.3 V?
The MC74LCX04DTR2 supports DC input voltages up to +6.5 V regardless of VCC level, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. When VCC = 3.3 V, this enables safe interfacing with standard 5 V TTL outputs without clamping diodes or external protection. This specification is verified across −40 °C to +125 °C and is intrinsic to the input structure of the MC74LCX04DTR2.
Does the MC74LCX04DTR2 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - the MC74LCX04DTR2 datasheet explicitly requires all unused inputs to be tied to either VCC or GND. Floating CMOS inputs can cause increased ICC, oscillation, or excessive power dissipation due to indeterminate logic states. This requirement applies to every unused A0–A5 input on the MC74LCX04DTR2 and is not optional for stable operation.
Is the MC74LCX04DTR2 pin-compatible with the standard 74HC04 or 74LS04?
No - the MC74LCX04DTR2 uses the same 14-pin TSSOP layout as generic hex inverters, but its electrical behavior differs significantly: it has 5 V-tolerant inputs, wider VCC range (1.65–5.5 V), and higher drive strength (±24 mA at 3.0 V). While pinout matches SOIC/TSSOP footprints, substituting MC74LCX04DTR2 for 74HC04/74LS04 requires verifying VCC, loading, and timing margins in the target design.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MC74LCX04DTR2 in its TSSOP-14 package?
The MC74LCX04DTR2 in TSSOP-14 (Case 948G) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150 °C/W, measured per JESD51-7 on an FR4 board with 76 mm × 114 mm, 2-ounce copper. This value assumes still air and defines the maximum allowable power dissipation before junction temperature exceeds +150 °C - a key derating factor for the MC74LCX04DTR2 in high-density layouts.
Can the MC74LCX04DTR2 be used in a 1.8 V system with 5 V inputs present on other channels?
Yes - the MC74LCX04DTR2 is explicitly designed for this scenario. At VCC = 1.8 V, its inputs remain tolerant to 5 V signals, enabling reliable level shifting. The VIH/VIL thresholds scale appropriately (e.g., VIH = 0.65 × VCC ≈ 1.17 V), and propagation delay remains ≤10 ns (1.65–1.95 V range), making the MC74LCX04DTR2 suitable for 1.8 V core logic interfacing with 5 V peripherals.
