Product details
Overview
MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G from onsemi is a single-channel TTL-input CMOS buffer in SC-88A (SOT-353) package, operating from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, with 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, ±8 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V. It enables level-shifting between 3 V and 5 V logic domains in portable instrumentation interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 1.4 V min at 3 V), IOFF partial power-down support, and SC-88A footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a non-inverting buffer with TTL-level input switching thresholds-VIH = 1.4 V min and VIL = 0.45 V max at VCC = 3.0 V-distinct from the CMOS-threshold MC74VHC1G50 variant. Its input structure tolerates up to 5.5 V regardless of supply voltage, enabling safe interfacing of 5 V signals into 3 V systems.
The SC-88A package supports IOFF functionality, allowing outputs to enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-driving during hot insertion or partial power-down. Propagation delay remains stable across −55 °C to +125 °C operating range, with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 8.0 ns (max) at 5.5 V and CL = 50 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports dual-supply mixed-voltage system integration without external level shifters |
| tPD (Typ) | 3.5 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - enables high-speed signal buffering in clock distribution and data path applications |
| VIH / VIL | 1.4 V / 0.45 V min/max at VCC = 3.0 V - ensures reliable recognition of standard TTL logic levels |
| IOUT | ±8 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - drives multiple 74LVC inputs or small capacitive loads without external buffers |
| Input Overvoltage | Tolerant to 5.5 V independent of VCC - eliminates need for external clamping diodes when interfacing 5 V peripherals |
| IOFF Support | Active when VCC = 0 V - prevents current leakage and bus contention during power sequencing or standby modes |
| Operating Temp | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G uses the SC-88A (SOT-353) 5-pin surface-mount package (Case 419A), measuring 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm with 0.65 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked with a dot or bevelled edge per JEDEC MO-178.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No internal connection - must be left floating or grounded; not usable as input/output |
| 2 | A | True-buffer input - accepts TTL-level signals; VIH/VIL defined per VCC |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference - connects to system ground plane; decoupling capacitor recommended near pin |
| 4 | Y | Inverted-output buffer output - provides rail-to-rail CMOS output swing with ±8 mA drive capability |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling to GND; supports 2.0–5.5 V operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DBVR | 3-state output (not true buffer); CMOS input thresholds; 3.3 V only rated | Lacks IOFF and 5.5 V overvoltage tolerance; requires external pull-ups for open-drain emulation | Select when tri-state control is required and system operates strictly at 3.3 V |
| 74AUP1G07GW,125 | CMOS input thresholds; lower ICC (0.9 μA typ); 0.8–3.6 V VCC range | Not TTL-compatible; unsuitable for interfacing 5 V legacy logic without external biasing | Select for ultra-low-power 1.8–3.3 V systems where TTL input compatibility is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74LVC1G125DBVR and 74AUP1G07GW,125, the MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G uniquely combines TTL input compatibility, 5.5 V overvoltage tolerance, and IOFF support in a single SC-88A package-making it the only choice for robust 3 V/5 V boundary interfacing in industrial and automotive contexts.

FAQ
What is the input voltage threshold behavior of the MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G?
The MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G features TTL-compatible input thresholds: VIH ≥ 1.4 V and VIL ≤ 0.45 V at VCC = 3.0 V, distinguishing it from the CMOS-threshold MC74VHC1G50. This allows direct connection to 74LS and other TTL-family outputs without pull-up resistors. Thresholds scale predictably with VCC, maintaining compatibility across its 2.0–5.5 V operating range.
Does the MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G supports IOFF functionality: when VCC = 0 V, both input and output structures enter high-impedance states, preventing back-current flow and bus contention. This is confirmed in the datasheet's DC Electrical Characteristics table under IOFF parameter (≤10 μA max), making it suitable for hot-swap and multi-rail power sequencing designs.
What is the maximum propagation delay specification for MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G at 3.3 V?
At VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 50 pF, the MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G has a maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 10.0 ns over the full −55 °C to +125 °C temperature range. The typical value is 7.1 ns. This is specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table and applies identically to both MC74VHC1G50 and MC74VHC1GT50 variants.
Can the MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G safely interface a 5 V microcontroller GPIO to a 3 V FPGA I/O bank?
Yes, the MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G can safely perform this interface: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, so a 5 V GPIO drives pin 2 (A) directly while VCC = 3.3 V powers the device. The output (pin 4, Y) then delivers a clean 3.3 V CMOS signal compatible with the FPGA's 3 V I/O bank, with no external components required.
Which package variant does MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The MC74VHC1GT50DFT2G uses the SC-88A (SOT-353) package (Case 419A), with dimensions 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm and 0.65 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is identified by a bevelled edge or dot marking. This package is MSL Level 1 rated and compatible with standard reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020.
