Product details
Overview
NLU1GU04AMX1TCG from onsemi is a single unbuffered CMOS inverter in a 1.45 mm × 1.0 mm UDFN6 package, featuring 2.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) I/O pins rated to 7.0 V, and ±12.5 mA output drive-designed for oscillator circuits, pulse shaping, and high-impedance amplifier interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the NLU1GU04AMX1TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ultra-small footprint, rail-to-rail OVT input/output capability, low ICC (1 µA max at 25°C), and operation across −55°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The NLU1GU04AMX1TCG implements a single unbuffered inverter stage with no internal buffering, delivering balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays and minimal capacitive loading effects. Its input structure supports overvoltage tolerance independent of VCC, enabling safe interfacing with mixed-voltage systems up to 7.0 V.
It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, with guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds defined as 0.8×VCC and 0.2×VCC respectively, and maintains specified VOL ≤ 0.44 V at IOL = 8 mA (VCC = 4.5 V). The device includes power-down protection and meets Level 1 moisture sensitivity per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| tPD (Typ) | 2.5 ns @ VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables high-speed signal inversion in timing-critical paths |
| IO Max | ±12.5 mA - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads or small capacitive nodes directly |
| VIN/VOUT Rating | −0.5 V to +7.0 V - allows safe connection to higher-voltage signals without external clamping |
| ICC (Max) | 1 µA @ TA = 25°C - ensures ultra-low static power in battery-powered or always-on circuits |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Input Capacitance | 4 pF (max) - minimizes loading on preceding drivers and preserves signal edge integrity |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output return path |
| 2 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 3 | IN A | Inverting digital input - accepts 0–5.5 V logic levels with overvoltage tolerance up to 7.0 V |
| 4 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 5 | OUT Y | Inverted logic output - drives complementary signal with rail-to-rail swing and ±12.5 mA capability |
| 6 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal logic; decoupling capacitor required within 2 mm of this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unbuffered inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G04DBVR | Same 1.45 × 1.0 mm X2SON6 package; tPD = 3.5 ns @ 3.3 V; VCC range 1.65–5.5 V; no OVT-max VIN = VCC + 0.5 V | Lacks overvoltage tolerance; requires strict voltage domain alignment; lower drive (±24 mA) but higher ICC (10 µA) | Select when system uses only one supply rail and tight budget constraints apply; verify input voltage compliance. |
| 74AUP1G04GW,125 | 1.1 × 1.0 mm XSON6 package; tPD = 6.0 ns @ 3.3 V; VCC range 0.8–3.6 V; OVT not specified; ICC = 0.9 µA | Not rated for 5 V operation or 7 V overvoltage; limited to sub-3.6 V systems; smaller footprint but slower | Choose for ultra-low-power, single-supply 1.8 V/2.5 V designs where size is critical and overvoltage risk is absent. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G04DBVR and 74AUP1G04GW,125, the NLU1GU04AMX1TCG uniquely combines 7.0 V OVT I/O, 2.5 ns speed at 5 V, and industrial temperature range in a standardized UDFN6 footprint-making it the only option for robust mixed-voltage oscillator or pulse-shaping use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for NLU1GU04AMX1TCG?
The NLU1GU04AMX1TCG features overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) inputs and outputs rated from −0.5 V to +7.0 V, regardless of VCC level. This means it can safely accept 5 V or even 7 V signals while operating from as low as 1.65 V, eliminating the need for external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage interfaces. This specification is verified per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the official datasheet.
Does NLU1GU04AMX1TCG support operation at 1.8 V supply?
Yes, NLU1GU04AMX1TCG is fully specified for operation at VCC = 1.8 V, with guaranteed VIH ≥ 0.8 × VCC (≥1.44 V) and VIL ≤ 0.2 × VCC (≤0.36 V). DC electrical characteristics including VOL and VOH, and AC parameters like tPD, are validated across the full 1.65 V to 5.5 V range-including at 1.8 V-per the Recommended Operating Conditions and DC/AC Electrical Characteristics tables.
Is NLU1GU04AMX1TCG pin-compatible with other MiniGate inverters?
NLU1GU04AMX1TCG uses the UDFN6 (1.45 × 1.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package, matching the NLU1GU04MUTCG and NLU1GU04CMUTCG variants in pin assignment (GND–NC–IN–NC–OUT–VCC). However, mechanical dimensions differ across case codes (517AA/517AQ/517BX), so PCB footprints are not interchangeable. Only the 517AQ variant shares identical land pattern and soldering requirements.
What is the thermal performance of NLU1GU04AMX1TCG in its UDFN6 package?
The NLU1GU04AMX1TCG in UDFN6 (Case 517AQ) includes an exposed thermal pad that enhances heat dissipation. While no θJA is published, the device's ultra-low ICC (1 µA max) and modest dynamic power (CPD = 22 pF) result in negligible self-heating-even at 125°C ambient. Thermal reliability is further ensured by JEDEC Level 1 MSL rating and 260°C lead temperature tolerance for reflow.
Can NLU1GU04AMX1TCG be used in a crystal oscillator circuit?
Yes, NLU1GU04AMX1TCG is explicitly recommended for oscillator applications in its datasheet. Its unbuffered architecture, low propagation delay (2.5 ns typ), balanced tPLH/tPHL, and low input capacitance (4 pF) make it well-suited for Pierce or ring oscillators. Designers should follow standard crystal load capacitance guidelines and ensure proper biasing resistors and feedback network stability per application notes AN-1098 and AND8149.
