Product details
Overview
NL17SZ16DBVT1G from onsemi is a single-channel CMOS buffer IC designed for level-shifting and signal conditioning in low-voltage digital systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, delivers 2.4 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, supports 24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and features overvoltage-tolerant inputs/outputs up to 5.5 V - enabling robust interfacing between mixed-supply logic domains in portable instrumentation and industrial control I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the NL17SZ16DBVT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its SC-74A-5 (SOT-23-5) package footprint, IOFF partial power-down capability, input/output voltage tolerance beyond VCC, and guaranteed operation across −55 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The NL17SZ16DBVT1G implements a non-inverting buffer with true CMOS input structure and push-pull output stage. Its IOFF feature disables current flow when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-powering of powered-down subsystems - critical in hot-swap and multi-rail power sequencing applications.
It supports rail-to-rail input voltage range (0 V to 5.5 V) independent of VCC, and maintains valid logic levels across 1.65–5.5 V supply, making it suitable for bridging 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without external level translators.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without level shifters. |
| tPD (Typ) | 2.4 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >200 MHz signal buffering in high-speed digital interfaces. |
| IOH/IOL | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - drives multiple standard CMOS loads or small capacitive traces without external buffers. |
| Input Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - accepts 5 V signals even when powered from 1.8 V, eliminating need for external clamping diodes. |
| IOFF Leakage | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents back-current into unpowered rails during partial system shutdown. |
| Operating Temp | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and outdoor telecom equipment. |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±2000 V - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without protection circuitry overhead. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC-74A-5 (SOT-23-5), 3.00 mm × 1.50 mm × 0.95 mm body, 0.95 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant Pb-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice - no electrical function. |
| 2 | Input (A) | CMOS-compatible digital input; accepts 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC value - enables mixed-voltage signal routing. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for both input threshold and output swing; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 | Output (Y) | Push-pull CMOS output; actively drives high/low with rail-to-rail swing and 24 mA sink/source capability at 3 V. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply pin; powers internal logic and output stage; IOFF behavior activates when VCC = 0 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V operation - eliminates separate voltage regulators for logic interface circuits in multi-rail systems. |
| Overvoltage-Tolerant I/O | Inputs and outputs withstand −0.5 V to +6.5 V - allows safe interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals while powered from 1.8 V. |
| IOFF Partial Power-Down | Blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V - prevents back-powering of inactive subsystems in modular or hot-pluggable designs. |
| Low Propagation Delay | 2.4 ns typical tPD at 5 V - preserves timing margins in high-frequency clock distribution or data path buffering. |
| Small Footprint | SC-74A-5 package (3.0 × 1.5 mm) - saves PCB area in space-constrained portable and IoT edge nodes. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Portable Medical Device I/O |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G17DBVR | Has Schmitt-trigger input (hysteresis); lacks IOFF; same SC-70-5 package. | Better noise immunity on slow/slew-limited inputs; unsuitable for partial power-down scenarios. | Select when input signals exhibit slow edges or high noise; avoid where VCC sequencing requires IOFF. |
| 74LVC1G07GW,125 | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up; no IOFF; same SOT-353 package. | Enables wired-OR logic and mixed-voltage pull-up configurations; cannot source current. | Select for bus arbitration or multi-master I²C-like signaling; avoid when active-high push-pull drive is required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the NL17SZ16DBVT1G can tolerate when powered from 1.8 V?
The NL17SZ16DBVT1G supports input voltages from −0.5 V to +6.5 V regardless of VCC level. When powered from 1.8 V, it safely accepts 5 V logic signals without damage or clamping - a key advantage for interfacing legacy peripherals in low-voltage systems. This overvoltage tolerance is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official onsemi datasheet.
Does the NL17SZ16DBVT1G support partial power-down, and how does it behave when VCC = 0 V?
Yes, the NL17SZ16DBVT1G features IOFF (power-off isolation), which disables current flow through the device when VCC = 0 V. In this state, input and output terminals present ≤10 µA leakage current, preventing back-powering of unpowered rails. This behavior is confirmed in the DC Electrical Characteristics table under the IOFF parameter and is essential for hot-swap and modular power architecture designs.
What is the propagation delay of the NL17SZ16DBVT1G at 3.3 V supply and 15 pF load?
At VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 15 pF, the NL17SZ16DBVT1G exhibits a typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 2.1 ns, with a maximum of 4.7 ns across −55 °C to +125 °C. This value is directly extracted from the AC Electrical Characteristics table in the onsemi datasheet (Rev. 17, page 5) and reflects guaranteed performance under industrial temperature conditions.
Which package does the NL17SZ16DBVT1G use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The NL17SZ16DBVT1G uses the SC-74A-5 package (also known as SOT-23-5), with mechanical dimensions of 3.00 mm × 1.50 mm × 0.95 mm and 0.95 mm lead pitch. This information is documented in the Device Ordering Information table (page 7) and Mechanical Case Outline drawing (page 8) of the official onsemi datasheet.
Is the NL17SZ16DBVT1G RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the NL17SZ16DBVT1G is RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, and halogen-free/BFR-free, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. The "G" suffix in the part number denotes Pb-free packaging, and full compliance documentation is available in onsemi's material declarations and environmental reports.
