Product details
Overview
NLU1GU04MUTCG from onsemi is a single unbuffered CMOS inverter in a 6-pin UDFN package (1.2 × 1.0 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), delivering 2.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, ±12.5 mA output drive, and overvoltage-tolerant I/O up to 7.0 V - ideal for oscillator circuits, pulse shaping, and high-impedance amplifier bias networks in space-constrained industrial and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NLU1GU04MUTCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its ultra-small UDFN6 footprint, OVT input/output capability across 1.65–5.5 V supply range, balanced tPLH/tPHL timing, and power-down protection - all critical for low-voltage mixed-signal interface and clock conditioning designs.
Technical Context
The NLU1GU04MUTCG implements a single-stage CMOS inverter topology with no internal buffering, enabling minimal propagation delay and symmetrical rise/fall characteristics. Its input structure supports overvoltage tolerance independent of VCC, allowing safe interfacing with higher-voltage logic domains while operating from as low as 1.65 V.
Designed for high-speed digital signal conditioning, it features rail-to-rail output swing, input leakage <±1.0 µA, and dynamic power dissipation modeled via CPD = 22 pF at 5.0 V - making it suitable for battery-powered edge nodes requiring predictable quiescent current (ICC ≤ 1.0 µA) and ESD robustness (HBM > 2000 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports dual-supply interoperability and Li-ion battery–fed systems without level shifters |
| tPD (Typ) | 2.5 ns @ VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables sub-10 ns edge generation for clock clean-up and waveform sharpening |
| IO Max | ±12.5 mA - sufficient to drive multiple 74LVC inputs or small capacitive loads (<50 pF) directly |
| VIN/VOUT Tolerance | −0.5 V to +7.0 V - allows hot-plug-safe I/O and mixed-voltage domain bridging without external clamps |
| ICC (Max) | 1.0 µA @ TA = 25°C - ensures nanoamp-level standby current for always-on sensor interface stages |
| ESD HBM | >2000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level transient immunity in industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: UDFN6 (1.2 × 1.0 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, Case 517AA), Pb-free, moisture sensitivity level 1, exposed thermal pad optional per datasheet detail A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power return; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 2 | NC | No connect - electrically isolated; no routing or soldering required |
| 3 | IN A | Inverting input - accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible signals; OVT structure eliminates need for external series resistors |
| 4 | NC | No connect - electrically isolated; no routing or soldering required |
| 5 | OUT Y | Inverted output - rail-to-rail swing, capable of sourcing/sinking ±12.5 mA into capacitive or light resistive loads |
| 6 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) recommended within 2 mm of pin for stable high-speed operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unbuffered inverter architecture | Minimizes propagation delay skew and preserves signal edge fidelity for timing-critical pulse reshaping |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | Enables direct interface with 3.3 V, 5 V, or legacy 7 V logic without external voltage translators or clamping diodes |
| Power-down input protection | Prevents back-powering and latch-up when VCC = 0 V but input signals remain active - critical for partial-power-down systems |
| Ultra-small UDFN6 footprint | Reduces PCB area by >60% vs. SOT-363, enabling dense layout in wearables, IoT sensors, and modular connectors |
Applications

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 1.65–5.5 V VCC range, but no OVT - max VIN = VCC + 0.5 V; tPD = 3.5 ns @ 3.3 V | Requires external clamping for >VCC inputs; less robust in mixed-voltage hot-swap scenarios | Select when cost is primary and system guarantees input voltage stays within VCC + 0.5 V |
| 74AUP1G04GW,125 | Lower ICC (0.9 µA typ), smaller 1.0 × 1.0 mm UDFN, but OVT not specified; tPD = 4.6 ns @ 3.3 V | Lacks documented overvoltage tolerance; unsuitable where 7 V transients or cross-domain signals occur | Select for ultra-low-power sleep modes where absolute minimum ICC dominates and I/O voltage margins are tightly controlled |
Compared with SN74LVC1G04DBVR and 74AUP1G04GW,125, the NLU1GU04MUTCG uniquely combines OVT I/O, sub-3 ns delay, and nanoamp ICC in a 1.2 × 1.0 mm footprint - making it the only choice when robust mixed-voltage interfacing and timing precision coexist in space-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NLU1GU04MUTCG?
The NLU1GU04MUTCG supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +7.0 V regardless of VCC level, due to its Overvoltage Tolerant (OVT) input structure. This allows safe operation when interfacing with higher-voltage logic families or handling transient overshoots without external protection components - a verified specification confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official onsemi datasheet (NLU1GU04/D, Rev. 5, page 2).
Does the NLU1GU04MUTCG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No, the NLU1GU04MUTCG does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs. Its CMOS input structure has guaranteed VIH and VIL thresholds across the full 1.65–5.5 V VCC range (e.g., VIH = 0.85 × VCC min), and input leakage remains below ±1.0 µA. These characteristics ensure reliable logic-level recognition without external biasing - confirmed in the DC Electrical Characteristics table (page 3 of NLU1GU04/D).
Can the NLU1GU04MUTCG drive a 50 pF capacitive load at 10 MHz?
Yes, the NLU1GU04MUTCG can drive a 50 pF capacitive load at 10 MHz. At VCC = 5.0 V and CL = 50 pF, its typical propagation delay is 3.8 ns with max 9.5 ns, and output drive capability is ±12.5 mA - sufficient to charge/discharge 50 pF within one half-cycle (50 ns) while maintaining signal integrity. This performance is validated in the AC Electrical Characteristics table (page 3 of NLU1GU04/D) under defined test conditions.
Is the NLU1GU04MUTCG pin-compatible with other UDFN6 inverters like the SN74LVC1G04?
No, the NLU1GU04MUTCG is not pin-compatible with SN74LVC1G04 variants. While both use 6-pin UDFN packages, the NLU1GU04MUTCG pinout is GND–NC–IN–NC–OUT–VCC (pin 1–6), whereas SN74LVC1G04DBVR uses GND–IN–OUT–NC–NC–VCC. This difference in pin assignment means direct PCB replacement requires layout modification - confirmed by comparing Figure 1 (NLU1GU04/D, page 1) and SN74LVC1G04 datasheet (SLYS087, section 7.1).
What is the thermal pad configuration for the NLU1GU04MUTCG UDFN6 package?
According to the Package Dimensions drawing for Case 517AA (NLU1GU04/D, page 7), the NLU1GU04MUTCG UDFN6 package includes an exposed copper thermal pad on the bottom surface, referenced as "EXPOSED Cu" in Detail B. The datasheet notes this pad is optional for thermal enhancement and may be left unconnected or soldered to a thermal plane depending on system requirements - no electrical connection is required or specified.
