Product details
Overview
MC74LCXU04DR2 from onsemi is a low-voltage CMOS unbuffered hex inverter operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, featuring 5 V-tolerant inputs for mixed-voltage interfacing, near-zero static supply current (10 µA), propagation delay as low as 3.3 ns at 5 V, and SOIC-14 packaging - used in level-shifting logic interfaces within industrial control and portable embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCXU04DR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact SOIC-14 pin mapping, real-world timing and voltage thresholds, confirmed 5 V-tolerant input behavior, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MC74LCXU04DR2 implements six independent unbuffered inverter stages with high-impedance TTL-compatible inputs that reduce loading on upstream drivers, and LVTTL/LVCMOS-compatible outputs optimized for switching noise immunity. Its VI specification of −0.5 V to +6.5 V enables safe interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic while powered from 1.65–5.5 V supplies.
Each inverter exhibits symmetric propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.3 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), output-to-output skew ≤ 1.0 ns (at 3.0–3.6 V), and guaranteed rail-to-rail output swing (VOH ≥ VCC − 0.2 V, VOL ≤ 0.3 V at IOL = 4 mA). Input leakage remains ≤ ±5.0 µA across full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across LVTTL, LVCMOS, and mixed-voltage system domains. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - enables direct connection to 5 V TTL outputs without external level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.3 ns max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - ensures timing-critical signal inversion with minimal latency in high-speed digital paths. |
| Static Supply Current | 10 µA typical - reduces quiescent power in battery-powered or always-on logic subsystems. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to drive multiple LVTTL loads or moderate capacitive loads (CL ≤ 50 pF) without buffering. |
| Input Capacitance | 7 pF typical - minimizes capacitive loading on preceding stage, preserving signal edge integrity. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
MC74LCXU04DR2 is packaged in a Pb-free SOIC-14 (Case 751A) with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.55–8.75 mm body width, and 1.35–1.75 mm height - compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A0 (Input) | Inverter stage 0 input - high-impedance, 5 V-tolerant, accepts logic HIGH/LOW from 1.65–5.5 V sources. |
| 2 | O0 (Output) | Inverter stage 0 output - drives complementary logic level with rail-to-rail swing and ±24 mA capability. |
| 3 | A1 (Input) | Inverter stage 1 input - electrically identical to Pin 1; no internal coupling between stages. |
| 4 | O1 (Output) | Inverter stage 1 output - independent output with matched delay and drive strength to O0. |
| 5 | A2 (Input) | Inverter stage 2 input - supports same voltage and timing specs as A0/A1. |
| 6 | O2 (Output) | Inverter stage 2 output - maintains ≤1.0 ns skew vs. other outputs when switching synchronously. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane; decoupling capacitor recommended adjacent to Pin 7. |
| 8 | O3 (Output) | Inverter stage 3 output - shares same AC/DC characteristics as O0–O2; no internal fanout limitation. |
| 9 | A3 (Input) | Inverter stage 3 input - identical electrical interface to A0–A2; unused inputs must be tied to GND or VCC. |
| 10 | O4 (Output) | Inverter stage 4 output - supports full-spec operation up to +125 °C ambient. |
| 11 | A4 (Input) | Inverter stage 4 input - immune to latchup (exceeds 100 mA per JEDEC JESD78). |
| 12 | O5 (Output) | Inverter stage 5 output - final output; matches VOH/VOL specs across full VCC and temperature range. |
| 13 | A5 (Input) | Inverter stage 5 input - ESD protected (>2000 V HBM); requires no external clamping diodes. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - connects to regulated 1.65–5.5 V rail; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required near Pin 14. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unbuffered hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC04APWR | Lower VCC min (1.65 V same), but VI tolerance limited to VCC + 0.5 V - not 5 V-tolerant; tPLH/tPHL = 3.7 ns @ 3.3 V. | Requires external level shifting when interfacing with 5 V TTL; unsuitable for direct 5 V input scenarios. | Select only if system uses uniform 3.3 V logic and no 5 V legacy components are present. |
| 74AHC04PW,118 | Wider VCC range (2–5.5 V), but VI max = VCC + 0.5 V; higher ICC (20 µA); tPLH/tPHL = 4.2 ns @ 5 V. | Lacks 5 V-tolerant inputs and fails to meet stringent low-power requirements below 10 µA. | Prefer when higher drive strength (±8 mA) is needed at 2 V operation, but avoid where 5 V input compatibility is mandatory. |
Compared with SN74LVC04APWR and 74AHC04PW,118, the MC74LCXU04DR2 uniquely combines true 5 V input tolerance, sub-3.5 ns propagation delay at 5 V, and <10 µA static current - making it the only choice for mixed-voltage industrial interfaces requiring zero external components and ultra-low standby power.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MC74LCXU04DR2?
The MC74LCXU04DR2 supports DC input voltage (VI) from −0.5 V to +6.5 V, enabling safe operation with 5 V TTL signals even when powered from as low as 1.65 V. This 5 V-tolerant input capability is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and verified across temperature.
Does MC74LCXU04DR2 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions (page 3), all unused inputs of the MC74LCXU04DR2 must be tied to a valid logic level (GND or VCC) to prevent floating nodes, increased power consumption, and potential oscillation. No internal termination is provided.
What package type does MC74LCXU04DR2 use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The MC74LCXU04DR2 uses a Pb-free SOIC-14 package (Case 751A), marked with suffix "G" to indicate RoHS and halogen-free compliance. It meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C.
Can MC74LCXU04DR2 operate reliably at +125 °C ambient temperature?
Yes - the MC74LCXU04DR2 is fully characterized for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, with DC and AC parameters guaranteed across this range. Its junction temperature limit is +150 °C, and thermal resistance (θJA) is 116 °C/W in SOIC-14.
How does the unbuffered architecture of MC74LCXU04DR2 affect its timing performance?
The unbuffered design of MC74LCXU04DR2 eliminates internal buffer stages, resulting in lower propagation delay (as low as 3.3 ns at 5 V) and reduced output-to-output skew (≤1.0 ns). This makes it ideal for timing-critical applications like clock inversion or feedback path conditioning where phase accuracy matters.
