Product details
Overview
MC74LCX06DR2 from onsemi is a low-voltage CMOS hex inverter with six independent open-drain outputs, operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply and featuring 5.0 V–tolerant inputs. It delivers 24 mA output sink capability at 3.0 V, supports wired-OR/AND logic functions, and exhibits near-zero static supply current (10 µA), making it suitable for level-shifting and bus interface applications in mixed-voltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCX06DR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional identity, SOIC-14 package mapping, confirmed open-drain inverter behavior, truth table compliance, and validated alternative options for voltage-level translation and active-low logic combining.
Technical Context
The MC74LCX06DR2 implements six identical inverting buffers with high-impedance TTL-compatible inputs and open-drain NMOS outputs. Its VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., VIH = 0.65×VCC at 1.65–1.95 V), enabling robust interfacing across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V domains. Input leakage remains ≤±5.0 µA over full temperature range.
Propagation delay is specified from 3.2 ns (at 4.5–5.5 V) to 6.5 ns (at 1.65–1.95 V); dynamic switching performance is characterized with CL = 30–50 pF loads. Output leakage in 3-state mode (IOZ) is ≤±5.0 µA, and power-off leakage (IOFF) is ≤10 µA when inputs or outputs are biased to 5.5 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter with open-drain applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC06APWR | Lower VCC min (1.65 V same), but only 24 mA sink @ 3.3 V; no 5 V tolerance - requires external clamping for 5 V inputs | Best suited for pure 3.3 V or lower systems; unsuitable for direct 5 V input interfacing | Select when cost and footprint are prioritized and all connected logic stays ≤3.3 V. |
| 74AHC06PW,118 | Higher VCC max (5.5 V same), but VI max = VCC + 0.5 V only - not 5 V tolerant; 8 mA sink @ 3.3 V | Requires input protection for 5 V sources; insufficient sink strength for LED or bus termination | Choose only for low-drive, single-supply 3.3 V designs where 5 V compatibility is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LVC06APWR and 74AHC06PW,118, the MC74LCX06DR2 uniquely combines 5 V–tolerant inputs, 24 mA sink capability, and sub-4 ns delay at 5 V - making it the only option among the three qualified for direct 5 V–to–low-voltage level translation without added components.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MC74LCX06DR2?
The MC74LCX06DR2 supports DC input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, as confirmed in the Maximum Ratings table. This 5 V–tolerance allows direct connection to 5 V logic families without external protection diodes or level shifters, simplifying design in mixed-voltage environments where the MC74LCX06DR2 serves as an interface buffer.
Does MC74LCX06DR2 have push-pull or open-drain outputs?
The MC74LCX06DR2 features open-drain NMOS outputs exclusively - there is no internal pull-up. Each output (O0–O5) can only sink current; an external pull-up resistor is required to establish a HIGH logic level. This architecture enables wired-OR logic, I²C bus compatibility, and flexible voltage-level setting, which is explicitly documented in the device's truth table and feature list for MC74LCX06DR2.
What is the typical propagation delay of MC74LCX06DR2 at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V, the MC74LCX06DR2 exhibits a maximum propagation delay (tPLZ/tPZL) of 3.7 ns over the full operating temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C), as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table. This value reflects worst-case input-to-output transition timing under load and confirms the MC74LCX06DR2's suitability for high-speed digital interfaces operating at 3.3 V.
Can MC74LCX06DR2 operate at 1.8 V supply voltage?
Yes, the MC74LCX06DR2 is fully specified to operate at 1.8 V (within its 1.65 V to 5.5 V VCC range). At 1.8 V, VIH is guaranteed ≥1.17 V and VIL ≤0.63 V, ensuring reliable logic recognition. The MC74LCX06DR2 maintains 6.5 ns max propagation delay and 10 µA max ICC at this voltage, supporting ultra-low-power applications such as battery-powered sensor nodes.
Is MC74LCX06DR2 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MC74LCX06DR2 is RoHS compliant and Pb-free, as stated in the datasheet Features section and confirmed by the "G" suffix in the ordering information. The device uses halogen-free/BFR-free packaging materials and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, supporting standard reflow soldering processes without special handling requirements for MC74LCX06DR2.
