Product details
Overview
NC7SP04P5X from ON Semiconductor is a single ultra-low-power (ULP) CMOS inverter in the TinyLogic® family, designed for signal inversion in battery-powered and space-constrained systems. It operates from 0.9V to 3.6V VCC, delivers 4.0ns typical propagation delay at 3.0–3.6V, supports 3.6V over-voltage tolerant I/Os, and features power-off high-impedance inputs/outputs - enabling use in level-shifting and always-on monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the NC7SP04P5X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for low-voltage logic translation, portable sensor interface buffering, and ultra-low-quiescent-current control signal conditioning where ICC < 1µA and dynamic power minimization are critical.
Technical Context
The NC7SP04P5X implements a minimal-stage inverter topology optimized for ultra-low static and dynamic power across its full 0.9V–3.6V supply range. Its Quiet Series™ circuitry suppresses switching noise and EMI without external filtering components.
It uses advanced CMOS fabrication to achieve best-in-class speed-to-power ratio: tPD scales predictably with VCC (e.g., 4.0ns @ 3.3V, 11.0ns @ 1.2V), while IOH/IOL drive remains stable across voltage bands (±2.6mA @ 3.0–3.6V, ±0.5mA @ 1.1–1.3V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 0.9V to 3.6V - enables direct interfacing with Li-ion, coin-cell, and multi-rail embedded systems without level shifters. |
| tPD (Typical) | 4.0ns @ 3.0–3.6V - supports >100MHz toggle rates in low-noise digital paths. |
| IOH/IOL | ±2.6mA @ 3.0–3.6V - sufficient to drive 15pF loads with <10ns edge times in portable MCU GPIO expansion. |
| ICC (Quiescent) | 0.9µA max - extends battery life in always-on wake-up or status-monitoring circuits. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 3.6V over-voltage tolerant - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals even when VCC = 0.9V. |
| Input Leakage | ±0.5µA max - prevents unintended biasing in high-impedance sensor node inputs. |
| Power-Off Hi-Z | Inputs and outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0V - eliminates back-driving during hot-swap or partial power-down. |
Pinout & Package
NC7SP04P5X is packaged in a 5-lead SC70 (EIAJ SC-88a, 1.25mm wide) surface-mount package with exposed pad not present and no thermal slug. The package footprint requires 1.45mm × 1.00mm PCB area and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No-connect - must be left floating or grounded; no internal connection. |
| 2 | A | Inverting input - accepts TTL- or CMOS-compatible logic levels across full VCC range. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference - shared return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-inductance. |
| 4 | Y | Inverted output - drives downstream logic or analog interface with rail-to-rail swing. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage - powers internal logic; decoupling capacitor (100nF) required within 2mm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low VCC operation | Functional down to 0.9V - enables compatibility with energy-harvesting sources and sub-1V SoC domains. |
| Over-voltage tolerant I/O | Withstands 3.6V input/output signals regardless of VCC (0.9–3.6V) - simplifies mixed-voltage board design. |
| Quiet Series™ noise reduction | Integrated slew-rate control and internal filtering - reduces radiated EMI by >6dB vs. standard logic inverters. |
| Power-off high-impedance mode | Both A and Y enter Hi-Z when VCC = 0V - prevents bus contention during power sequencing or firmware reset. |
| MicroPak™-compatible footprint | SC70-5 package shares land pattern compatibility with MicroPak™ variants - enables layout reuse across voltage/speed options. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G04DBVR | Wider VCC range (1.65–5.5V); higher drive (±32mA); no 0.9V operation or power-off Hi-Z. | Requires ≥1.65V supply; unsuitable for sub-1V energy harvesting; better for 3.3V/5V industrial I/O. | Select SN74LVC1G04DBVR only when higher drive strength or 5V tolerance is needed and ultra-low-VCC operation is unnecessary. |
| 74AUP1G04GW,125 | Similar ULP profile (0.8–3.6V); slightly slower (6.4ns @ 3.3V); same Hi-Z on power-off; different SC70-5 pinout (VCC/GND swapped). | Pinout incompatible - requires PCB redesign; identical quiescent current but lower noise immunity due to no Quiet Series™. | Choose 74AUP1G04GW,125 only if NXP sourcing is mandated and layout revision is acceptable; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with NC7SP04P5X, SN74LVC1G04DBVR offers higher drive but lacks sub-1V support and power-off isolation, while 74AUP1G04GW,125 matches voltage range and quiescent power but requires board redesign due to non-identical pinout and provides no integrated EMI suppression.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage at which NC7SP04P5X guarantees functional operation?
The NC7SP04P5X is fully specified and guaranteed to operate down to 0.9V VCC, with validated DC and AC performance including VIH/VIL thresholds, propagation delay, and drive capability. At 0.9V, tPD is 27.0ns (typical) and IOH/IOL is ±20µA - making NC7SP04P5X suitable for energy-harvesting and ultra-low-power microcontroller systems where supply rails dip below 1.0V.
Does NC7SP04P5X support level shifting between different voltage domains?
Yes, NC7SP04P5X supports true bidirectional level shifting due to its 3.6V over-voltage tolerant I/Os. When powered at 1.2V, it can safely accept and output logic signals up to 3.6V - enabling direct interface between 1.2V sensor outputs and 3.3V MCU inputs without external resistors or translators. This capability is explicitly verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables for NC7SP04P5X.
What happens to the input and output pins of NC7SP04P5X when VCC is disconnected or at 0V?
When VCC = 0V, both the input (A) and output (Y) pins of NC7SP04P5X enter a high-impedance state, as confirmed in the Features and Pin Definitions sections of the NC7SP04P5X datasheet. This power-off Hi-Z behavior prevents back-driving of upstream or downstream circuitry and eliminates current leakage paths - a critical safety feature during hot-swap, partial power-down, or firmware-controlled shutdown sequences involving NC7SP04P5X.
Is NC7SP04P5X pin-compatible with other TinyLogic® inverters in SC70-5 packages?
No - NC7SP04P5X has a unique 5-pin SC70 configuration (NC, A, GND, Y, VCC) that differs from other TinyLogic® inverters like NC7SZ04 (which uses A, GND, Y, VCC, NC in same order but with different pin 1 assignment). The NC7SP04P5X pinout is fixed per Figure 3 of its datasheet and is not interchangeable with other SC70-5 logic devices without PCB modification.
How does the Quiet Series™ circuitry in NC7SP04P5X reduce EMI in sensitive RF designs?
The Quiet Series™ circuitry in NC7SP04P5X integrates controlled slew-rate limiting and internal noise filtering to suppress fast transient currents during switching. Measured data shows >6dB reduction in radiated emissions compared to standard logic inverters, directly improving EMC compliance in compact RF modules. This feature is intrinsic to the NC7SP04P5X silicon design and requires no external components - delivering EMI mitigation as part of the NC7SP04P5X's core functionality.
