Product details
Overview
NC7WZ16L6X from ON Semiconductor is a dual non-inverting buffer in the TinyLogic® UHS family, designed for level translation and signal conditioning in space-constrained digital systems. It operates from 1.65V to 5.5V VCC, delivers ±24mA output drive at 3V, and achieves 2.4ns typical propagation delay into 50pF at 5V - enabling high-speed interface bridging between mixed-voltage domains.
For engineers reviewing the NC7WZ16L6X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (MicroPak™-6), confirmed dual-buffer logic behavior, over-voltage tolerant inputs (up to 7V), power-down high-impedance I/O states, and validated AC/DC electrical specs across –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The NC7WZ16L6X implements two independent CMOS buffer stages with rail-to-rail input tolerance and push-pull outputs. Its proprietary noise/EMI reduction circuitry suppresses switching transients without external filtering, and its power-down mode places both inputs and outputs in high-impedance state when VCC = 0V.
Input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.70VCC at VCC ≥ 2.3V; VIL = 0.30VCC), supporting reliable operation across 1.65–5.5V supply range. Over-voltage tolerant inputs enable 5V-to-3V translation without external resistors or clamps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic families |
| tPD (Typ.) | 2.4ns at 5V into 50pF - enables sub-400MHz signal routing in compact timing-critical paths |
| IOH/IOL | ±24mA at 3V VCC - drives 10+ LS-TTL loads or short PCB traces without buffering |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5V to 7.0V - allows safe interfacing with 5V signals while powered from 1.8V/2.5V supplies |
| Quiescent ICC | 1.0µA max at 25°C - minimizes standby current in battery-backed or always-on subsystems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Power Dissipation | 130mW (MicroPak™-6) - thermal resistance θJA = 500°C/W limits self-heating in dense layouts |
Pinout & Package
NC7WZ16L6X uses the 6-lead MicroPak™ package (1.00mm body width, JEDEC MO-252 UAAD variant), optimized for ultra-dense PCB layouts with solderable side-wettable flanks and no exposed pad. The package requires controlled reflow per J-STD-020 and land pattern per Figure 9 in the datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A1 | Buffer 1 input - accepts over-voltage tolerant logic signals up to 7V |
| 2 | GND | Digital ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | A2 | Buffer 2 input - electrically isolated from A1; supports independent signal routing |
| 4 | Y2 | Buffer 2 output - non-inverting, push-pull, capable of sourcing/sinking ±24mA at 3V |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - bypassing with 100nF ceramic capacitor within 3mm is mandatory |
| 6 | Y1 | Buffer 1 output - matches Y2 in drive strength, speed, and DC characteristics |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-High Speed | 2.4ns tPD (typ.) at 5V enables clean edge integrity for >200MHz clock/data signals |
| Over-Voltage Tolerant Inputs | 7V absolute max input rating permits direct 5V-to-3.3V/1.8V translation without level shifters |
| Power-Down High-Z I/O | Inputs and outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0V - prevents back-driving during hot-swap or partial power-down |
| Proprietary EMI Reduction | Internal slew-rate control and noise filtering reduce radiated emissions by >6dB vs. standard UHS buffers |
| Broad Supply Range | 1.65–5.5V operation eliminates need for separate voltage rails in multi-supply systems |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Automotive Body Control Units |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2G17DBVR | Higher VCC min (1.65V same), but only 12mA drive at 3.3V; no 7V input tolerance | Lacks over-voltage input capability - requires external clamping for 5V signal interfaces | Prefer NC7WZ16L6X when interfacing with 5V peripherals without added protection components |
| 74AUP2G07GW,125 | Lower static current (0.9µA), but slower tPD (3.4ns typ. at 3.3V); 5.5V max input | Not suitable for 5V-to-lower-voltage translation due to 5.5V absolute max input rating | Choose NC7WZ16L6X where 7V input tolerance and 2.4ns speed are required in mixed-voltage systems |
Compared with SN74LVC2G17DBVR and 74AUP2G07GW,125, the NC7WZ16L6X uniquely combines 7V input tolerance, ±24mA drive, and 2.4ns speed in a 1.0mm-wide MicroPak™ package - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-rail industrial and automotive signal routing where robustness and timing precision are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for NC7WZ16L6X?
The NC7WZ16L6X supports DC input voltages from –0.5V to +7.0V, independent of VCC. This over-voltage tolerance enables safe interfacing with 5V signals even when powered from 1.8V or 2.5V supplies - eliminating external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage designs. The 7.0V absolute maximum is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all inputs (A1 and A2).
Does NC7WZ16L6X support power-down functionality?
Yes, the NC7WZ16L6X enters a true power-down state when VCC = 0V: both inputs and outputs transition to high-impedance, preventing back-current flow and signal contention. This behavior is explicitly confirmed in the device description and is distinct from standard CMOS buffers that may exhibit undefined or leakage-prone states at zero supply.
What is the typical propagation delay of NC7WZ16L6X at 3.3V VCC?
At 3.3V VCC with 50pF load and 500Ω termination, the NC7WZ16L6X exhibits a typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 2.3ns. This value is measured under standardized AC test conditions (Figure 5/6 in datasheet) and reflects real-world performance in impedance-controlled PCB traces driving moderate capacitive loads.
Can NC7WZ16L6X be used for 5V-to-3.3V level translation?
Yes, the NC7WZ16L6X is specifically designed for bidirectional voltage translation: its inputs tolerate up to 7V regardless of VCC, allowing direct connection of 5V logic signals while powered from 3.3V (or lower). The output swings rail-to-rail, delivering clean 3.3V-compatible logic levels - confirmed by VOH/VOL specs across the full VCC range.
What package type does NC7WZ16L6X use, and what are its key mechanical features?
NC7WZ16L6X uses the 6-lead MicroPak™ package (1.00mm body width, JEDEC MO-252 UAAD compliant), featuring solderable side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection, no thermal pad, and a 0.5mm pitch. Its footprint is 1.45mm × 1.00mm with 0.075mm chamfered corners - optimized for high-density routing in space-constrained applications like wearables and automotive ECUs.
