Product details

Overview

NC7WZU04P6X from onsemi is a dual unbuffered inverter IC in SC−88 package, designed for crystal oscillator and analog applications requiring minimal propagation delay (as low as 2.2 ns at 5 V) and rail-to-rail input tolerance (up to 5.5 V independent of V_CC). It operates across 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, delivers ±32 mA output drive at 4.5 V, and consumes <1 µA quiescent current at 5 V.

For engineers reviewing the NC7WZU04P6X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional context, validated pin assignments, confirmed oscillator/analog use cases, and two technically documented alternative parts with explicit parameter-level differences.

Technical Context

The NC7WZU04P6X implements a single-stage unbuffered CMOS inverter topology per channel-no internal buffering stages-enabling linear-region operation essential for Pierce oscillator feedback loops. Its inputs remain high-impedance at V_CC = 0 V, and tolerate 5.5 V regardless of supply voltage.

Propagation delay is specified down to 2.2 ns (t_PLH/t_PHL) at V_CC = 5.0 V with 15 pF load; output drive capability is symmetric (±32 mA), supporting fast edge rates in timing-critical analog switching. Input capacitance is 3 pF, minimizing loading on sensitive oscillator nodes.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CC Range	1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters.
Propagation Delay	2.2 ns (typ) at 5 V, 15 pF - enables >200 MHz oscillator fundamental frequency stability in crystal circuits.
Output Drive	±32 mA at 4.5 V - sufficient to directly drive crystal loads and low-impedance analog switches without external buffers.
Input Voltage Tolerance	0 V to 5.5 V independent of V_CC - allows mixed-voltage interfacing and safe hot-plug operation.
I_IN Leakage	±0.1 µA (max) at 5.5 V - preserves high-Q crystal resonance by minimizing parasitic loading on oscillator node.
Quiescent Current	<1 µA at 5 V, 25°C - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-backed oscillator or sensor bias circuits.
Input Capacitance	3 pF - reduces phase shift and energy loss in Pierce oscillator tank networks.

Pinout & Package

NC7WZU04P6X uses the SC−88 (Case 419B−02) 6-lead surface-mount package: 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.90 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, moisture sensitivity level 1.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	A1 (Input)	Inverter Channel 1 input - high-impedance CMOS node compatible with crystal feedback or analog signal injection.
2	GND	Ground reference for both channels - must be low-inductance connection to preserve oscillator phase noise.
3	A2 (Input)	Inverter Channel 2 input - electrically isolated from A1; supports dual independent oscillator or signal inversion paths.
4	Y2 (Output)	Inverter Channel 2 output - unbuffered, capable of linear operation; connects directly to crystal or resonator terminal.
5	V_CC	Positive supply - powers both inverters; decoupling capacitor required within 2 mm for stable oscillation.
6	Y1 (Output)	Inverter Channel 1 output - identical electrical behavior to Y2; used for primary oscillator feedback loop.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Unbuffered architecture	Single-stage CMOS inverter per channel enables precise control of gain and phase in crystal oscillator feedback loops.
Balanced ±32 mA drive	Supports fast edge transitions and robust drive into capacitive crystal loads without waveform distortion.
Rail-to-rail input tolerance	Accepts 0–5.5 V inputs regardless of V_CC, simplifying interface with legacy or mixed-voltage systems.
Ultra-low ICC	<1 µA quiescent current at 5 V enables multi-year battery life in portable oscillator or real-time clock circuits.
SC−88 footprint	2.00 × 1.25 mm package saves board space in compact timing modules and wearable sensor nodes.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual unbuffered inverter applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
NC7WZU04L6X	Same die, MicroPak−6 package (1.0×1.0 mm); thermal resistance 154 °C/W vs. SC−88's 377 °C/W.	Better thermal performance in high-density layouts; requires different stencil and reflow profile due to leadless construction.	Select NC7WZU04L6X when board space is constrained and thermal dissipation under sustained linear operation is critical.
SN74LVC2G04DBVR	Buffered dual inverter; higher propagation delay (3.5 ns min); input tolerance limited to V_CC + 0.5 V.	Not suitable for crystal oscillator linear-mode operation; intended for digital logic only.	Choose SN74LVC2G04DBVR only for pure digital inversion where oscillator functionality is not required.

Compared with NC7WZU04P6X, NC7WZU04L6X offers identical electrical performance in a smaller, thermally superior package, while SN74LVC2G04DBVR trades unbuffered analog capability for higher noise immunity in standard logic applications-making NC7WZU04P6X uniquely suited for oscillator design.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the NC7WZU04P6X in oscillator circuits?

The NC7WZU04P6X serves as the gain element in Pierce crystal oscillator configurations. Its unbuffered single-stage design provides precise 180° phase inversion and controllable gain in the linear region-critical for sustaining oscillation with low phase noise and minimal crystal energy loss. Unlike buffered inverters, NC7WZU04P6X avoids added propagation delay and internal node capacitance that degrade oscillator stability.

Can NC7WZU04P6X operate with a 1.8 V supply and still drive a 32.768 kHz crystal?

Yes, NC7WZU04P6X is fully specified from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V, it delivers sufficient gain and low input capacitance (3 pF) to reliably start and sustain 32.768 kHz crystal oscillation. Propagation delay increases to ~8.1 ns (typ), but remains well within requirements for low-frequency watch crystals where loop gain margin dominates timing accuracy.

Why does NC7WZU04P6X specify input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V independent of V_CC?

This specification enables NC7WZU04P6X to interface safely with higher-voltage peripherals-even when powered from a lower V_CC-without external clamping diodes. For example, it can accept 5 V sensor signals while operating at 2.5 V V_CC, simplifying mixed-voltage system design and eliminating risk of latch-up during hot insertion or power sequencing mismatches.

Is NC7WZU04P6X suitable for linear amplifier applications outside of oscillators?

Yes-its unbuffered architecture allows stable DC biasing in the linear region. When configured with appropriate feedback resistors, NC7WZU04P6X functions as a high-input-impedance inverting amplifier for sensor signal conditioning. However, designers must observe maximum power dissipation limits (332 mW in SC−88) and avoid prolonged saturation to prevent thermal overstress.

How does the SC−88 package of NC7WZU04P6X impact PCB layout for oscillator designs?

The SC−88 package (2.00 × 1.25 mm) demands careful RF layout: short, direct traces between pins 1/6 (A1/Y1) and pins 3/4 (A2/Y2), ground plane under the device, and localized 100 nF ceramic decoupling at pin 5 (V_CC) within 2 mm. Pin 2 (GND) must connect to a solid ground plane via multiple vias to minimize inductance and preserve oscillator phase noise performance.
