Product details
Overview
NLU1GU04CMUTCG from onsemi is a single unbuffered CMOS inverter in an ultra-small UDFN6 (1.0 × 1.0 mm, 0.35 mm pitch) package, featuring 2.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, overvoltage-tolerant I/O up to 7.0 V, and ±12.5 mA output drive. It serves as a high-speed logic-level shifter and signal conditioner in space-constrained digital interfaces and oscillator circuits.
For engineers reviewing the NLU1GU04CMUTCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 1.65–5.5 V operating range, input leakage ≤±1.0 µA, latch-up immunity of ±500 mA, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - all critical for automotive body control modules and industrial sensor interface designs.
Technical Context
The NLU1GU04CMUTCG implements a standard CMOS inverter topology with no internal buffering, delivering balanced tPLH/tPHL delays and rail-to-rail output swing. Its input structure incorporates overvoltage tolerance independent of VCC, enabling safe interfacing with 5 V signals even when powered from 1.8 V or 3.3 V rails.
Designed for low-noise, low-power operation, it features power-down protection on inputs and supports wide-temperature operation (−55 °C to +125 °C). The device's 4 pF input capacitance and 22 pF power dissipation capacitance (CPD) at 5.0 V define dynamic loading behavior in high-frequency clock distribution paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC 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 |
| tPD (Typ) | 2.5 ns @ VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >200 MHz toggle rates in clean pulse-shaping applications |
| IO Max | ±12.5 mA - sufficient to drive multiple 74LVC inputs or small capacitive loads (<30 pF) without external buffers |
| VIH/VIL | 0.85×VCC / 0.15×VCC - provides robust noise margins across full supply range, including at 1.65 V minimum |
| Input OVT | −0.5 V to +7.0 V - allows hot-plug and mixed-voltage system integration without external clamping diodes |
| Package | UDFN6, 1.0 × 1.0 mm, 0.35 mm pitch - fits into <1.0 mm² board area, compatible with fine-pitch automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
UDFN6 (1.0 × 1.0 mm, 0.35 mm pitch, Case 517BX) with exposed thermal pad; 6-terminal layout optimized for minimal trace inductance and thermal resistance in high-density PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power return reference; must be connected to solid ground plane for stable switching and EMI control |
| 2 | NC | No-connect terminal - left floating per datasheet; not internally bonded or electrically active |
| 3 | IN A | Digital input node with overvoltage tolerance; accepts 0–7.0 V regardless of VCC setting |
| 4 | NC | No-connect terminal - left floating; no internal connection or function |
| 5 | OUT Y | Inverted logic output with rail-to-rail swing; capable of sourcing/sinking ±12.5 mA |
| 6 | VCC | Positive supply input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 2 mm for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small footprint | 1.0 × 1.0 mm UDFN6 package reduces board area by >60% vs. SOT-363, enabling wearables and miniaturized IoT nodes |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G04DBVR | Same 1.65–5.5 V range and SOT-23-5 package; tPD = 3.5 ns @ 3.3 V (slower than NLU1GU04CMUTCG's 2.5 ns @ 5 V); no OVT beyond VCC | Requires external clamping for >5.5 V inputs; larger 2.9 × 1.6 mm footprint increases board area by 4.5× | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs size/performance needs and system voltages stay within VCC limits |
| 74LVC1G04GW,125 | SC-70-5 package (2.0 × 1.25 mm); tPD = 3.2 ns @ 3.3 V; rated for 6 V absolute max (vs. 7 V for NLU1GU04CMUTCG) | Lacks overvoltage tolerance above VCC; not qualified for −55 °C operation (only −40 °C min) | Prefer for commercial-grade consumer devices where extended temperature and 7 V OVT are unnecessary |
Compared with SN74LVC1G04DBVR and 74LVC1G04GW,125, the NLU1GU04CMUTCG delivers superior high-speed performance (2.5 ns), industry-leading overvoltage tolerance (7 V), and smallest footprint (1.0 mm²), making it optimal for space-constrained, mixed-voltage, and extended-temperature industrial and automotive edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the NLU1GU04CMUTCG?
The NLU1GU04CMUTCG is specified for continuous operation from −55 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature, meeting extended industrial and under-hood automotive requirements. This rating is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet revision 5, page 2, under Recommended Operating Conditions.
Does the NLU1GU04CMUTCG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No, the NLU1GU04CMUTCG does not require external biasing resistors. Its CMOS input structure has negligible leakage (≤±1.0 µA), and the device operates correctly with floating inputs only if the application guarantees defined logic states. For robust noise immunity, onsemi recommends tying unused inputs to VCC or GND - a practice explicitly supported by the NLU1GU04CMUTCG's overvoltage-tolerant input design.
Can the NLU1GU04CMUTCG safely interface with 5 V signals while powered from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the NLU1GU04CMUTCG can safely accept 5 V input signals when powered from 1.8 V due to its overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) input architecture, which guarantees safe operation from −0.5 V to +7.0 V independent of VCC. This capability is verified per datasheet page 2 (Maximum Ratings) and eliminates the need for external level-shifting components in mixed-voltage systems using the NLU1GU04CMUTCG.
What is the significance of the "C" in the part number NLU1GU04CMUTCG?
The "C" in NLU1GU04CMUTCG denotes the specific UDFN6 package variant: 1.0 × 1.0 mm body size with 0.35 mm pitch (Case 517BX). This distinguishes it from the "M" (1.2 × 1.0 mm, 0.4P, Case 517AA) and "A" (1.45 × 1.0 mm, 0.5P, Case 517AQ) variants - all sharing identical electrical specifications but differing in mechanical footprint and thermal characteristics per onsemi's ordering information table on page 4.
Is the NLU1GU04CMUTCG pin-compatible with other MiniGate inverters like the NLU1GT04?
No, the NLU1GU04CMUTCG is not pin-compatible with the NLU1GT04. The NLU1GT04 is a buffered inverter in the same UDFN6 package but uses a different pinout (e.g., VCC on pin 1, GND on pin 6), whereas the NLU1GU04CMUTCG places GND on pin 1 and VCC on pin 6. This difference is clearly shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the NLU1GU04 datasheet and confirmed in the Pin Assignment table on page 1.
