Product details
Overview
MC74LVX04DR2 from onsemi is a high-speed CMOS hex inverter with 5 V-tolerant inputs, designed for level-shifting between 3.0 V and 5.0 V logic domains. It delivers 4.1 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, supports ±25 mA output drive, operates from 2.0 V to 3.6 V supply, and features input voltage tolerance up to 6.5 V - enabling robust interfacing in mixed-voltage industrial control and portable embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LVX04DR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical specs, SOIC-14 package mapping, functional pin assignments, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative parts for design flexibility and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The MC74LVX04DR2 implements six independent CMOS inverter stages in a single SOIC-14 package, each with rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance (–0.5 V to +6.5 V) and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +85°C. Its balanced tPLH/tPHL delays and low 1.5 ns max output skew ensure timing integrity in synchronous logic paths.
It uses advanced low-voltage CMOS (LVX) process technology to achieve ultra-low quiescent current (2.0 µA max at 3.6 V), while maintaining noise immunity via 0.5 V max VOLP and ESD robustness (>2000 V HBM). Input power-down protection prevents back-drive current when VCC = 0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5 V and 3.3 V system rails; not rated for 5 V supply |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5 V to +6.5 V - enables safe connection to 5 V signals without external level shifters |
| tPD (Typ) | 4.1 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >100 MHz toggle rates in clean signal paths |
| IOUT (per pin) | ±25 mA - sufficient to directly drive LED indicators or small capacitive loads (≤50 pF) |
| VOL (Max) | 0.44 V at IOL = 4 mA, VCC = 3.0 V - ensures solid LOW-level margin for TTL/CMOS inputs |
| VIH/VIL | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 3.0 V - provides 0.7 V noise margin under worst-case conditions |
| ICC (Max) | 20.0 µA at VCC = 3.6 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C - enables battery-sensitive applications |
Pinout & Package
MC74LVX04DR2 is supplied in a 14-pin SOIC−14 NB (Case 751A) package, 8.75 mm × 3.95 mm footprint, 1.75 mm height, with 1.27 mm pitch and Pb-free finish (G suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A0 (Input) | Inverter stage 0 input - accepts 0–6.5 V logic; no clamping diode required for 5 V signals |
| 2 | O0 (Output) | Inverter stage 0 output - drives complementary logic with <0.44 V VOL at 4 mA sink |
| 3 | A1 (Input) | Inverter stage 1 input - electrically identical to Pin 1; fully independent |
| 4 | O1 (Output) | Inverter stage 1 output - matched delay and skew to O0 per datasheet Note 1 |
| 5 | A2 (Input) | Inverter stage 2 input - supports same DC and AC specs as A0/A1 |
| 6 | O2 (Output) | Inverter stage 2 output - shares GND reference with all outputs; no cross-talk specification given |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - all internal logic and I/O referenced to this pin; must be low-impedance |
| 8 | O3 (Output) | Inverter stage 3 output - pin 8 is output, not input; layout symmetry aids routing in dense PCBs |
| 9 | A3 (Input) | Inverter stage 3 input - placed adjacent to O3 for minimal trace length in feedback or oscillator use |
| 10 | O4 (Output) | Inverter stage 4 output - supports same fan-out and loading as other outputs |
| 11 | A4 (Input) | Inverter stage 4 input - matches VIH/VIL thresholds of all inputs; no hysteresis |
| 12 | O5 (Output) | Inverter stage 5 output - final output; completes full hex inverter set |
| 13 | A5 (Input) | Inverter stage 5 input - last input; electrically identical to A0–A4 |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - must be decoupled locally (0.1 µF ceramic) due to fast edge rates |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC04APWR | Wider VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); lower tPD (3.5 ns typ at 3.3 V); no 5 V input tolerance - requires external clamping for 5 V inputs | Best suited for pure 3.3 V or 1.8 V systems; unsuitable for direct 5 V signal interfacing | Select when operating exclusively below 3.6 V and maximum speed is prioritized over input voltage flexibility |
| 74AHC04PW,118 | VCC range 2.0–5.5 V; 5 V–tolerant inputs confirmed; tPD = 5.0 ns typ at 5 V, 7.5 ns at 3.3 V; higher ICC (40 µA max) | Better suited for 5 V–dominant systems; less optimal for ultra-low-power 3.3 V battery operation | Select when system uses 5 V supply or requires higher drive strength (±8 mA at 5 V) and wider temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) |
Compared with SN74LVC04APWR and 74AHC04PW,118, the MC74LVX04DR2 uniquely balances 5 V input tolerance, sub-5 ns speed at 3.3 V, and µA-level quiescent current - making it optimal for mixed-voltage, power-constrained industrial and portable designs where level translation and low noise are co-priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MC74LVX04DR2 can safely accept?
The MC74LVX04DR2 supports DC input voltages from –0.5 V to +6.5 V, regardless of VCC level. This allows direct connection to 5 V logic sources even when powered from a 3.3 V supply - a key feature confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and explicitly stated in the device description. The MC74LVX04DR2 does not require external clamping diodes or resistive dividers for such use cases.
Can the MC74LVX04DR2 operate from a 5 V supply?
No - the MC74LVX04DR2 is specified for VCC between 2.0 V and 3.6 V only. While its inputs tolerate up to 6.5 V, applying 5 V to VCC exceeds the Recommended Operating Conditions and risks parametric failure or reduced reliability. The MC74LVX04DR2 must be powered from 2.5 V or 3.3 V rails; for 5 V systems, consider alternatives like 74AHC04.
Does the MC74LVX04DR2 have Schmitt-trigger inputs?
No - the MC74LVX04DR2 uses standard CMOS inverter inputs without hysteresis. Its VIH and VIL thresholds are fixed (e.g., 2.0 V and 0.8 V at VCC = 3.0 V), and no hysteresis value is specified in the datasheet. For noisy signal conditioning, external RC filtering or a dedicated Schmitt-trigger device (e.g., MC74LVX14) is required.
What is the output drive capability of the MC74LVX04DR2 per pin?
The MC74LVX04DR2 guarantees ±25 mA DC output current per pin under steady-state conditions, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. This enables direct driving of moderate loads such as LEDs (with series resistor), small relays, or multiple CMOS inputs. However, sustained 25 mA operation requires proper thermal management and PCB copper area per the package's thermal resistance data.
Is the MC74LVX04DR2 pin-compatible with standard 74-series hex inverters?
Yes - the MC74LVX04DR2 is pin- and function-compatible with industry-standard 74HC04, 74HCT04, and 74LV04 devices in SOIC-14 packages. Pin assignments (A0/O0 through A5/O5 plus VCC/GND) match exactly, and the logic function (inversion) is identical. This allows drop-in replacement in existing designs, provided VCC and input voltage constraints are respected.
