onsemi NLU1G86MUTCG

Overview

NLU1G86MUTCG from onsemi is a single 2-input exclusive OR (XOR) gate in ultra-small UDFN6 (1.2 × 1.0 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) package, designed for high-speed logic-level translation and signal conditioning in space-constrained applications. It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, delivers 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, supports ±12.5 mA output drive, and features overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) I/O pins rated to 7.0 V - enabling robust interfacing with mixed-voltage systems such as IoT sensor nodes and portable power management circuits.

For engineers reviewing the NLU1G86MUTCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its OVT input/output capability, ultra-low quiescent current (1.0 µA typ), 125°C operating temperature range, UDFN6 footprint compatibility, and absence of internal pull-ups/pull-downs requiring external biasing in open-drain configurations.

Technical Context

The NLU1G86MUTCG implements standard CMOS XOR logic (Y = A ⊕ B) using advanced high-speed process technology optimized for low-capacitance switching. Its input structure includes ESD protection diodes and overvoltage tolerance independent of V_CC, allowing safe operation when inputs exceed supply voltage up to 7.0 V.

Propagation delays are balanced between t_PLH and t_PHL, with 3.5 ns typical (CL = 15 pF, V_CC = 5.0 V) and 4.4 ns typical (CL = 15 pF, V_CC = 3.3 V). The device lacks internal termination or configurable logic modes - it functions strictly as a fixed-function, non-inverting XOR gate with no enable or output control pins.

FAQ

What logic function does the NLU1G86MUTCG implement?

The NLU1G86MUTCG implements a standard 2-input exclusive OR (XOR) Boolean function: Y = A ⊕ B. When inputs A and B differ (one high, one low), the output Y is high; when they match (both high or both low), Y is low. This behavior is fixed and cannot be reconfigured - the NLU1G86MUTCG contains no mode pins, registers, or programmable elements.

Does the NLU1G86MUTCG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?

No, the NLU1G86MUTCG does not include internal pull-up or pull-down resistors, and its inputs are not weakly biased. External resistors are required only if the application demands a defined logic state during power-up, reset, or high-impedance source conditions. The NLU1G86MUTCG itself draws < ±1.0 µA input leakage across its full operating range.

Can the NLU1G86MUTCG operate with a 1.8 V supply and interface safely with 5 V signals?

Yes - the NLU1G86MUTCG supports V_CC as low as 1.65 V and features overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) inputs and outputs rated to −0.5 V to +7.0 V. This means it can accept 5 V signals while powered from 1.8 V without damage or level-shifting components, making the NLU1G86MUTCG ideal for mixed-voltage signal conditioning.

What is the maximum capacitive load the NLU1G86MUTCG can drive reliably?

The NLU1G86MUTCG is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance in its AC electrical specifications, with propagation delay increasing from 3.5 ns (CL = 15 pF) to 4.2 ns (CL = 50 pF) at 5.0 V. For reliable signal integrity beyond 50 pF, external buffering is recommended - the NLU1G86MUTCG's ±12.5 mA output drive is optimized for typical logic fan-out, not transmission-line driving.

Is the exposed pad on the NLU1G86MUTCG's UDFN6 package electrically connected?

Yes - the exposed thermal pad on the NLU1G86MUTCG's UDFN6 package is internally connected to GND (Pin 1) and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and ESD robustness. Thermal resistance θ_JA is specified assuming proper pad connection; omitting this connection degrades junction temperature rise by >25°C under continuous operation.
