Product details
Overview
NC7SP38P5X from onsemi is a single 2-input NAND gate with open-drain output, designed for ultra-low-power logic in space-constrained applications. It operates across 0.9 V to 3.6 V supply, delivers 2.9 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V (typ), supports input/output over-voltage tolerance up to 3.6 V, and features IOFF partial power-down protection-used in battery-powered sensor interface and level-shifting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the NC7SP38P5X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical specs, SC-88A package details, functional truth table behavior, IOFF-enabled power gating capability, and validated alternatives for low-voltage logic design.
Technical Context
The NC7SP38P5X implements standard 2-input NAND logic with open-drain output architecture, requiring an external pull-up resistor for high-level assertion. Its IOFF circuitry disables input and output leakage paths when VCC = 0 V, enabling live insertion and partial power-down system operation.
It supports rail-to-rail input voltage range (0–3.6 V) independent of VCC, allowing mixed-voltage interfacing between 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V domains. Propagation delay scales inversely with VCC, ranging from 32.4 ns at 0.9 V to 2.9 ns at 3.3 V under 10 pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 0.9 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration into sub-1V IoT nodes and multi-rail systems without level shifters |
| tPD (Typ) | 2.9 ns at 3.3 V, 10 pF - supports >100 MHz toggle rates in low-power clocked logic paths |
| IOFF Leakage | ≤0.5 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents back-powering of powered-down sections during hot-swap or sleep modes |
| Input Tolerance | Up to 3.6 V regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage controllers or sensors |
| IOL Drive | 2.6 mA at 3.3 V - sufficient to drive standard CMOS inputs or small LED indicators via pull-up |
| CIN / COUT | 2.0 pF / 4.0 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on driving gates and reduces dynamic power in dense layouts |
Pinout & Package
NC7SP38P5X is packaged in SC-88A (SOT-353), a 5-pin, 1.45 mm × 1.0 mm surface-mount package with exposed pad option not present; pin 1 marked by dot, pin count and orientation confirmed per onsemi case 419A-02.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A) | First input | Accepts logic signal; tolerant to 3.6 V regardless of VCC value |
| 2 (B) | Second input | Accepts logic signal; identical voltage tolerance and leakage as Pin 1 |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 4 (Y) | Open-drain output | Sinks current only; requires external pull-up to define HIGH state voltage level |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power rail for internal logic; IOFF activation occurs when VCC = 0 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low VCC operation | Functional down to 0.9 V - supports energy harvesting and coin-cell-powered devices |
| IOFF partial power-down | Blocks I/O leakage when VCC = 0 V - essential for hot-plug and multi-domain power sequencing |
| Over-voltage tolerant I/O | Inputs/outputs withstand 3.6 V even at VCC = 0.9 V - eliminates need for external clamping diodes |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 6.0 pF - reduces switching power consumption in high-frequency enable/control signals |
Applications
| IoT Sensor Node Interface | Multi-Rail Level Shifter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO to 1.8 V environmental sensor interrupt line. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NAND gate configured as active-low enable with open-drain output pulls sensor's OD interrupt low while tolerating 3.3 V MCU side. Use Value: Eliminates discrete MOSFET level shifter; IOFF prevents back-current when sensor domain powers down independently. | Use Scenario: Translating 1.2 V FPGA configuration status signal to 2.5 V PMIC enable input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic gate used as bidirectional voltage translator via pull-up on Y, leveraging input over-voltage tolerance. Use Value: Supports asymmetric rail translation without direction control pins; <10 ns delay preserves timing margin in boot sequences. |
| Battery-Powered Wearable Reset Generator | Low-Power System Enable Controller |
Use Scenario: Combining low-battery detector and manual reset button to generate clean system reset pulse. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NAND gate forms wired-OR reset logic with open-drain output tied to shared reset bus. Use Value: Sub-1 µA quiescent current extends battery life; 0.9 V operation ensures functionality until battery reaches end-of-life. | Use Scenario: Enabling subsystem power rails only when host processor and thermal monitor both assert readiness. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NAND gate acts as dual-input enable gate with open-drain output driving enable pin of DC-DC converter. Use Value: IOFF blocks leakage during host sleep mode; 2.6 mA sink current directly drives most enable inputs without buffer stage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NAND gate with open-drain output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NC7SZ38P5X | Same SC-88A package, but push-pull output (not open-drain); no IOFF feature | Requires external pull-up for wired-OR; unsuitable for partial power-down scenarios | Select when active-HIGH output and lower output impedance are preferred over IOFF capability |
| SN74LVC1G00DBVR | Push-pull output, 1.65–5.5 V VCC range, no over-voltage tolerance beyond VCC | Cannot interface 3.6 V signals at VCC = 1.8 V; lacks IOFF for zero-VCC isolation | Choose for wider VCC range and higher drive strength where rail-matching is guaranteed |
Compared with NC7SP38P5X, NC7SZ38P5X offers faster propagation delay but forfeits open-drain flexibility and IOFF; SN74LVC1G00DBVR supports higher VCC but requires strict voltage alignment and adds layout complexity for wired-OR implementation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage allowed on NC7SP38P5X pins when VCC = 1.2 V?
The NC7SP38P5X supports input voltages up to 3.6 V regardless of VCC level. When VCC = 1.2 V, pins A, B, and Y tolerate 0–3.6 V, enabling safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals without external protection. This over-voltage tolerance is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables of the official NC7SP38P5X datasheet.
Does NC7SP38P5X support true tri-state operation?
No, NC7SP38P5X does not provide tri-state (high-impedance) control via an enable pin. Its output is open-drain only: it actively pulls low or floats high (requiring external pull-up). The "Z" in the function table denotes high-impedance float-not controllable tri-state. For enable-controlled tri-state logic, consider dedicated bus switches or 3-state buffers instead of NC7SP38P5X.
Can NC7SP38P5X be used as a level shifter between 1.8 V and 3.3 V domains?
Yes, NC7SP38P5X can serve as a unidirectional level shifter from 1.8 V to 3.3 V. Configure the 1.8 V domain as inputs (A/B), tie the open-drain output (Y) to a 3.3 V pull-up, and use the output as a 3.3 V–compatible signal. Input over-voltage tolerance and IOFF ensure robustness during domain power sequencing-verified in NC7SP38P5X application notes for mixed-voltage interfacing.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which NC7SP38P5X guarantees correct logic operation?
The NC7SP38P5X guarantees functional operation down to 0.9 V VCC, as defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. At 0.9 V, propagation delay increases to 32.4 ns (typ) with 10 pF load, and VIH/VIL thresholds scale proportionally. All DC and AC specifications in the NC7SP38P5X datasheet are validated across 0.9–3.6 V, making it suitable for ultra-low-voltage energy-harvesting designs.
Is NC7SP38P5X RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, NC7SP38P5X is RoHS compliant, Pb-free, halogen-free, and BFR-free, as confirmed in the Features section and Ordering Information table of the official NC7SP38P5X datasheet. The "X" suffix in the part number denotes lead-free packaging, and the SC-88A package meets JEDEC MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements for standard assembly processes.
