Overview

NC7SVL04FHX from ON Semiconductor is a single-channel ultra-low-power inverter IC in the TinyLogic® ULP-A family, operating from 0.9V to 3.6V supply, delivering 24mA drive strength at 3.3V, with 3.5ns max propagation delay and sub-1µA quiescent current - designed for direct interface with baseband processor I/Os in battery-powered mobile handsets.

For engineers reviewing the NC7SVL04FHX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (MicroPak2™, 6-pin, 1×1mm), confirmed input/output voltage tolerance (3.6V over-voltage tolerant I/Os), power-off high-impedance behavior, and real-world timing and drive specifications validated across 0.9–3.6V VCC.

Technical Context

The NC7SVL04FHX implements a CMOS-based inverting logic function with proprietary Quiet Series™ EMI reduction circuitry and low-ICCT input architecture that maintains nanoscale quiescent current even when VIN < VCC. Its design enables stable operation across mixed-voltage rail environments without level-shifting.

It supports full 3.6V over-voltage tolerant I/Os regardless of VCC setting (0.9V–3.6V), features power-off high-impedance inputs/outputs, and achieves 24mA sink/source capability at 3.3V while maintaining ultra-low dynamic power consumption - critical for portable applications where leakage and switching losses must be minimized.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature range for NC7SVL04FHX?

The NC7SVL04FHX is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, output drive, and input thresholds, and applies to both continuous operation and thermal cycling in consumer and industrial environments. The NC7SVL04FHX thermal resistance (θJA) is 560°C/W in its MicroPak2™ package, supporting reliable performance under sustained load in compact enclosures.

Does NC7SVL04FHX support true 1.2V logic operation?

Yes, the NC7SVL04FHX fully supports 1.2V operation: its VCC range starts at 0.9V, and DC electrical characteristics including VIH (0.78V min), VIL (0.30V max), VOH (≥1.10V), and VOL (≤0.10V) are specified and tested at VCC = 1.2V. The NC7SVL04FHX also maintains 24mA drive capability down to VCC = 1.1V, making it suitable for modern low-voltage SoC interfaces.

Can NC7SVL04FHX be used with 5V-tolerant microcontrollers?

No - the NC7SVL04FHX has absolute maximum input voltage of 4.6V, and its I/Os are only over-voltage tolerant up to 3.6V. While it can interface with 5V microcontrollers via series resistors or external clamping, direct connection risks damage. For 5V systems, consider logic families explicitly rated for 5V I/O such as 74LVC or 74ALVC series. The NC7SVL04FHX is optimized for ≤3.6V mixed-rail environments.

Is the NC7SVL04FHX pinout compatible with other TinyLogic inverters in MicroPak2™ packages?

Yes - the NC7SVL04FHX shares identical pinout (1:NC, 2:A, 3:GND, 4:Y, 5:VCC, 6:NC) and package dimensions with other Fairchild/ON Semiconductor TinyLogic inverters in MicroPak2™, including NC7SVL05FHX (buffer) and NC7SVL08FHX (dual inverter). This enables layout reuse and simplified BOM consolidation across logic variants in space-constrained designs.

What is the significance of "Low-ICCT" in NC7SVL04FHX's product name?

"Low-ICCT" refers to the device's proprietary input structure that limits the increase in supply current (ΔICC) when input voltage is below VCC - a key advantage in partial-power-down scenarios. At VCC = 3.6V and VIN = 1.5V, ICCT is only 6–8µA, far lower than standard CMOS inverters. This ensures the NC7SVL04FHX maintains ultra-low standby current even when driven by lower-voltage controllers, a critical feature for the NC7SVL04FHX in mobile baseband applications.
