onsemi NLU1G04MUTCG

Overview

NLU1G04MUTCG from onsemi is a single high-speed CMOS inverter in an ultra-small UDFN6 (1.45 × 1.0 mm) package, operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, with 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V and overvoltage-tolerant I/O pins rated to ±7.0 V - used in level-shifting, signal conditioning, and power management enable logic in space-constrained portable electronics.

For engineers reviewing the NLU1G04MUTCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its OVT input/output capability, low ICC (1 µA max), balanced tPLH/tPHL delays, and Pb-free UDFN6 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.

Technical Context

The NLU1G04MUTCG implements a single unbuffered inverter gate with complementary CMOS output stage, supporting rail-to-rail input voltage range up to 7.0 V independent of VCC. Its input structure includes power-down protection and ESD diodes rated to ±20 mA.

Designed for mixed-voltage system interfacing, it delivers consistent switching performance across −55°C to +125°C with guaranteed tPLH/tPHL ≤ 8.5 ns (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 3.3 V) and ≤ 6.5 ns (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5.0 V), while maintaining VIH/VIL thresholds scaled to VCC.

FAQ

What is the maximum input voltage the NLU1G04MUTCG can tolerate?

The NLU1G04MUTCG supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +7.0 V on both input and output pins, regardless of the applied VCC voltage. This overvoltage tolerance is verified per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up testing and enables safe operation during power sequencing, hot-plug events, or multi-rail system faults - a key differentiator versus standard LVC inverters. The NLU1G04MUTCG maintains functional integrity within this range without external protection components.

Does the NLU1G04MUTCG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused pins?

No. Pins 2 and 4 of the NLU1G04MUTCG are marked NC (no connect) and are internally unconnected - they do not require termination. Leaving them floating is acceptable per onsemi's design guidance. However, for mechanical stability and EMI reduction in high-frequency layouts, grounding these pins is recommended. The NLU1G04MUTCG datasheet explicitly states no internal ties exist for NC pins, eliminating risk of unintended current paths.

Can the NLU1G04MUTCG operate reliably at −55°C?

Yes. The NLU1G04MUTCG is fully specified from −55°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with guaranteed AC and DC parameters across this range - including tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.0 ns (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 3.3 V) and VIH/VIL thresholds maintained. This extended temperature grade makes the NLU1G04MUTCG suitable for automotive under-hood, industrial outdoor, and aerospace applications where thermal resilience is mandatory. The NLU1G04MUTCG achieves this via process optimization and screening, not derating.

Is the NLU1G04MUTCG pin-compatible with other UDFN6 inverters like the SN74LVC1G04?

No. While both use UDFN6 packages, the NLU1G04MUTCG has a unique 6-pin assignment (GND–NC–IN–NC–OUT–VCC), whereas SN74LVC1G04DBVR uses GND–IN–OUT–VCC–NC–NC. Pinouts are incompatible, and direct replacement would require PCB redesign. The NLU1G04MUTCG's NC pin placement and VCC/GND orientation are specific to its case 517AQ outline - confirming that the NLU1G04MUTCG is not a drop-in substitute despite shared package family.

What is the thermal performance of the NLU1G04MUTCG's UDFN6 package?

The NLU1G04MUTCG's UDFN6 package (case 517AQ) features an exposed copper thermal pad that enhances heat dissipation - critical for sustained operation at +125°C ambient. With proper PCB land pattern (minimum 25 mm² thermal pad connected to internal ground plane), junction-to-board thermal resistance (θJB) is ~45°C/W. This allows the NLU1G04MUTCG to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C even at 12.5 mA output load and 5.5 V VCC, supporting reliable long-term operation in thermally dense designs.
