Product details
Overview
NL37WZ04USG from onsemi is a triple CMOS inverter IC operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, delivering 2.3 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and overvoltage-tolerant I/O up to 5.5 V. It serves as a high-speed logic-level shifter and signal conditioning buffer in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the NL37WZ04USG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, IOFF partial power-down capability, US8 package footprint, and guaranteed operation across −55 °C to +125 °C.
Technical Context
The NL37WZ04USG implements three independent CMOS inverter stages in a single US8 package, each with rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance and symmetrical push-pull output structure. Its IOFF feature disables current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling live insertion and hot-swap compatibility in multi-rail systems.
Propagation delay varies with supply voltage and load: 1.8–2.8 ns (typ) at 4.5–5.5 V with 15 pF load, and 2.2–3.4 ns (typ) at 3.0–3.6 V under same conditions. Input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.70×VCC min above 2.3 V), ensuring robust noise immunity across voltage domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without level shifters |
| tPD (Typ) | 2.3 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - enables >300 MHz toggle rates in clean signal paths |
| IOH/IOL | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - drives multiple 74LVC inputs or small capacitive loads (≤30 pF) without buffering |
| IOFF Leakage | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving and bus contention during partial power-down |
| Operating Temp | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 |
| ESD Rating | HBM 2000 V, CDM 1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD robustness requirements |
| Input Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - allows safe connection to 5 V signals even when powered from 1.8 V |
Pinout & Package
Package: US8 (Case 493), 8-pin ultra-small surface-mount package with 0.5 mm pitch, 2.1 mm × 2.0 mm footprint, and exposed pad for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A1 | Inverting input of first gate - accepts standard CMOS logic levels regardless of VCC |
| 2 | Y3 | Inverted output of third gate - drives downstream logic or passive loads with 24 mA sink/source |
| 3 | A2 | Inverting input of second gate - electrically isolated from A1/A3; no internal crosstalk |
| 4 | GND | Digital ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise |
| 5 | Y2 | Inverted output of second gate - shares same electrical characteristics as Y1/Y3 |
| 6 | A3 | Inverting input of third gate - supports mixed-voltage domain interfacing via overvoltage tolerance |
| 7 | Y1 | Inverted output of first gate - pin 7 is output-only; not bidirectional |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply - powers all three inverters; IOFF active when VCC = 0 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent inverters | Three functionally isolated gates in one US8 package reduce board area by 60% vs. discrete solutions |
| IOFF partial power-down | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered sections, enabling hot-plug and power-gating architectures |
| Voltage-scalable input thresholds | VIH/VIL track VCC (0.70×VCC / 0.30×VCC), ensuring reliable switching across 1.65–5.5 V supply range |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | Withstands 5.5 V inputs while powered from 1.8 V - eliminates need for external clamping diodes |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified to Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient) with PPAP documentation support for automotive OEMs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC74VHC14DT | Schmitt-trigger inputs; higher VCC max (7 V); 5.5 ns tPD at 5 V; SOIC-14 package only | Requires external hysteresis for noisy environments; larger footprint; no IOFF | Select when input signal integrity is compromised by EMI or long traces |
| SN74LVC1G04DBVR | Single inverter; SOT-23-5 package; 3.7 ns tPD at 3.3 V; no IOFF; −40 °C to +125 °C | Requires three devices and extra PCB area; lacks overvoltage tolerance beyond VCC + 0.5 V | Select for space-constrained designs where only one inverter is needed per location |
Compared with MC74VHC14DT and SN74LVC1G04DBVR, the NL37WZ04USG uniquely combines triple functionality, IOFF, 5.5 V I/O tolerance, and US8 footprint-enabling compact, hot-swap-capable designs in automotive and industrial control where supply sequencing and mixed-voltage interoperability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the NL37WZ04USG?
The NL37WZ04USG is rated for operation from −55 °C to +125 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade 1 applications. This rating is confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table on page 3 of the official datasheet, with derating applied above 85 °C ambient depending on package thermal resistance (JA = 250 °C/W for US8).
Does the NL37WZ04USG support partial power-down functionality?
Yes, the NL37WZ04USG supports partial power-down via its IOFF feature. When VCC = 0 V, input and output leakage is limited to ≤10 µA (max), preventing current backflow between powered and unpowered sections. This behavior is explicitly specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table under "IOFF Power Off Leakage Current" on page 4 of the datasheet.
What is the typical propagation delay of the NL37WZ04USG at 3.3 V supply?
The NL37WZ04USG exhibits a typical propagation delay of 2.2 ns (tPLH/tPHL) at VCC = 3.3 V with CL = 15 pF, as listed in the AC Electrical Characteristics table on page 4. This value falls within the 3.0–3.6 V VCC range row and reflects performance under standard test conditions using a 1 MΩ load and open R1 configuration.
Is the NL37WZ04USG pin-compatible with other triple inverter packages like SOIC-14?
No, the NL37WZ04USG is not pin-compatible with SOIC-14 triple inverters such as the MC74VHC14DT. It uses the US8 (8-pin) package with a unique pinout: A1-Y3-A2-GND-Y2-A3-Y1-VCC. SOIC-14 devices have different pin counts, spacing, and signal assignments, requiring PCB redesign for substitution.
What does the "−Q" suffix in NL37WZ04USG−Q* indicate?
The "−Q" suffix in NL37WZ04USG−Q* denotes an automotive-grade variant meeting AEC-Q100 qualification and PPAP capability, with unique site and process control requirements. Per the datasheet's ordering information section (page 6), this suffix applies to parts manufactured at specific onsemi facilities under enhanced quality controls for automotive OEM use.
