Product details
Overview
NL27WZ86USG-Q from onsemi is a dual 2-input XOR gate IC designed for high-speed logic-level translation and signal comparison in automotive and industrial control systems, operating across 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, with 2.9 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, overvoltage-tolerant inputs/outputs up to 5.5 V, and ±24 mA drive capability at 3.0 V.
For engineers reviewing the NL27WZ86USG-Q datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device supports AEC-Q100 qualified designs requiring low-power, rail-to-rail compatible logic gates with partial power-down protection and IOFF functionality in space-constrained US8 packaging.
Technical Context
The NL27WZ86USG-Q implements two independent CMOS-based XOR logic functions in a single monolithic die, each accepting complementary digital inputs (A1/B1 and A2/B2) and delivering true XOR outputs (Y1/Y2) with no internal feedback or latching behavior. Its design supports mixed-voltage system interfacing due to input overvoltage tolerance beyond VCC and guaranteed operation down to −55 °C.
IOFF circuitry actively disables output leakage during partial power-down states, preventing current backflow when VCC = 0 V while maintaining input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V. Propagation delay varies predictably with supply voltage and load capacitance-2.9 ns typ at 5 V/15 pF, scaling to 7.9 ns at 1.65 V/15 pF-enabling precise timing budgeting in synchronous logic paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.9 ns typ at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >300 MHz toggle rates in critical path timing |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to directly drive multiple 74LVC inputs or small capacitive loads (<20 pF) |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - allows safe connection to higher-voltage buses or legacy 5 V signals |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents bus contention and power loss during system sleep or hot-swap events |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and extended industrial environments |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000 V - exceeds JEDEC JS-001 Class 2 requirements for robust board-level handling |
Pinout & Package
Package: US8 (Case 493), 8-pin ultra-small surface-mount package, 2.1 mm × 2.0 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A1 | First XOR gate input A - accepts logic levels referenced to local VCC; tolerant to 5.5 V |
| 2 | B1 | First XOR gate input B - paired with A1 to generate Y1 = A1 ⊕ B1 |
| 3 | Y2 | Second XOR gate output - active-high, push-pull, capable of sourcing/sinking 24 mA at 3 V |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for both logic gates and internal bias networks - must be low-impedance |
| 5 | A2 | Second XOR gate input A - electrically isolated from A1/B1; shares same VCC/GND domain |
| 6 | B2 | Second XOR gate input B - forms second independent XOR function with A2 |
| 7 | Y1 | First XOR gate output - identical electrical characteristics to Y2; supports fan-out of ≥10 LVC loads |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply input - powers both gates; IOFF activates automatically if VCC = 0 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input voltage range | Inputs functional from GND to 5.5 V independent of VCC - eliminates need for external clamping diodes |
| Partial power-down protection (IOFF) | Outputs enter high-impedance state with ≤10 µA leakage when VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving powered subsystems |
| Low dynamic power consumption | CPD = 9–11 pF - enables <1 µW/MHz no-load power at 3.3 V, ideal for battery-backed logic monitoring |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified to Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) and PPAP-capable - meets automotive electronics reliability requirements |
| Ultra-small US8 footprint | 2.1 mm × 2.0 mm area - saves PCB space in dense control modules such as ADAS sensor hubs and motor drivers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual XOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2G86DBVR | Same US8 package, 1.65–5.5 V supply, but tPD = 3.7 ns typ at 3.3 V/50 pF; no IOFF support | Lacks partial power-down protection - unsuitable for systems with dynamic rail sequencing or hot-swap | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs IOFF requirement and timing margin allows 0.8 ns slower delay |
| 74AUP2G86GM,115 | UQFN8 (1.6×1.6 mm), lower ICC (max 0.5 µA), but VCC range limited to 0.8–3.6 V; tPD = 6.3 ns typ at 3.3 V | Not rated for automotive temperature range or AEC-Q100; incompatible with 5 V interfaces | Prefer for ultra-low-power portable devices where 5 V tolerance and extended temp are unnecessary |
Compared with SN74LVC2G86DBVR and 74AUP2G86GM,115, the NL27WZ86USG-Q uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, IOFF-enabled power management, and 2.9 ns speed at 5 V - making it the only choice for automotive body control modules requiring simultaneous 5 V signal compatibility and zero-power-state isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the NL27WZ86USG-Q?
The NL27WZ86USG-Q is rated for operation from −55 °C to +125 °C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade 1 applications. This specification is verified per the manufacturer's Recommended Operating Conditions table and applies across the full 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply range. The NL27WZ86USG-Q maintains specified propagation delay and drive strength throughout this range, with derating only required for power dissipation above 500 mW in still air.
Does the NL27WZ86USG-Q support partial power-down mode, and how does it behave when VCC = 0 V?
Yes, the NL27WZ86USG-Q features IOFF circuitry that places outputs in high-impedance state when VCC = 0 V, limiting power-off leakage to ≤10 µA per I/O terminal. During this condition, inputs remain overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V, preventing back-current into unpowered rails. This behavior is confirmed in the DC Electrical Characteristics table under IOFF parameter and is integral to its use in modular systems with staggered power sequencing.
What is the typical propagation delay of the NL27WZ86USG-Q at 3.3 V supply voltage?
The NL27WZ86USG-Q exhibits a typical propagation delay of 3.0 ns at VCC = 3.3 V with CL = 15 pF, as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table under tPLH/tPHL for the 3.0 V to 3.6 V range. This value is measured with standard test conditions (RL = 1 MΩ, R1 open) and represents the average delay from input transition to valid output transition for either XOR gate. The NL27WZ86USG-Q maintains tight delay matching between Y1 and Y2 outputs.
Is the NL27WZ86USG-Q pin-compatible with other dual XOR gate packages like UQFN8?
No, the NL27WZ86USG-Q uses the US8 package (Case 493) with specific pin assignment: Pin 1 = A1, Pin 2 = B1, Pin 3 = Y2, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = A2, Pin 6 = B2, Pin 7 = Y1, Pin 8 = VCC. Its UQFN8 variant (NL27WZ86MQ1TCG) has reversed pin mapping and is not pin-compatible. Board layout must be tailored to US8 mechanical dimensions and land pattern per onsemi document 98AON04475D.
What does the "-Q" suffix signify in NL27WZ86USG-Q?
The "-Q" suffix in NL27WZ86USG-Q denotes an automotive-qualified version meeting AEC-Q100 stress test requirements and supporting PPAP documentation. It also indicates unique site and control change management protocols per onsemi's automotive quality system. The NL27WZ86USG-Q undergoes additional screening including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD validation beyond commercial-grade parts, ensuring reliability in safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
