onsemi NLU2G04BMX1TCG

Overview

NLU2G04BMX1TCG from onsemi is a dual CMOS inverter IC designed for high-speed logic inversion in space-constrained applications, featuring 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) inputs/outputs up to 7.0 V, and operation across 1.65–5.5 V supply range. It serves as a signal-level logic buffer/inverter in low-power industrial control and portable interface circuits.

For engineers reviewing the NLU2G04BMX1TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-small UDFN6 package footprint (1.2 × 1.0 mm), ±12.5 mA output drive, latch-up immunity (±500 mA), and power-down input protection - all critical for compact, robust digital signal conditioning.

Technical Context

The NLU2G04BMX1TCG implements two independent CMOS inverter stages with fully buffered inputs and outputs, supporting rail-to-rail digital signaling across its 1.65–5.5 V operating range. Its overvoltage-tolerant architecture allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage logic domains without level shifters.

Propagation delays are balanced between both inverters (tPLH ≈ tPHL), and input structures include diode clamps and power-down protection that disables current paths when VCC = 0 V - enabling hot-swap and partial-power-down system designs.

FAQ

What is the maximum input voltage the NLU2G04BMX1TCG can tolerate when unpowered?

The NLU2G04BMX1TCG supports −0.5 V to +7.0 V on all input and output pins regardless of VCC state, including when VCC = 0 V. This overvoltage tolerance is enabled by internal clamping diodes and is verified per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up testing at ±500 mA. The NLU2G04BMX1TCG maintains high-impedance inputs and avoids back-powering during unpowered operation.

Does the NLU2G04BMX1TCG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?

No - the NLU2G04BMX1TCG does not require external termination on unused inputs. Its CMOS inputs have negligible leakage (±0.1 µA max), and floating inputs are electrically stable due to internal structure. However, for deterministic logic states in noisy environments, tying unused inputs to VCC or GND is still recommended. The NLU2G04BMX1TCG's power-down protection ensures no current flows into inputs when VCC is absent.

Can the NLU2G04BMX1TCG drive a 50 pF capacitive load at 10 MHz?

Yes - the NLU2G04BMX1TCG delivers 7.5 ns max propagation delay at VCC = 5.0 V with CL = 50 pF, supporting reliable 10 MHz toggling with adequate setup/hold margins. Its ±12.5 mA output drive ensures fast edge rates into such loads, and the balanced tPLH/tPHL minimizes duty-cycle distortion. The NLU2G04BMX1TCG maintains this performance across −55°C to +125°C.

Is the NLU2G04BMX1TCG compatible with 1.8 V logic systems?

Yes - the NLU2G04BMX1TCG operates down to 1.65 V VCC and guarantees VIH = 0.75 × VCC and VIL = 0.25 × VCC, making it fully compatible with 1.8 V logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 1.35 V, VIL ≤ 0.45 V). It also drives 1.8 V CMOS loads with VOL ≤ 0.1 V and VOH ≥ 1.6 V at 50 µA, ensuring noise margins >0.4 V. The NLU2G04BMX1TCG functions correctly across the full 1.65–5.5 V range without configuration.

What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the NLU2G04BMX1TCG in its UDFN6 package?

The NLU2G04BMX1TCG in UDFN6 (Case 517AA) has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 220°C/W when mounted on a standard FR-4 board with minimum copper pad spacing and no airflow, per the datasheet test condition. This value assumes a 10 mm × 1 inch, 2 oz copper trace layout. For higher-power applications, adding thermal vias under the exposed die pad reduces θJA significantly. The NLU2G04BMX1TCG's low ICC (1 µA max) keeps self-heating negligible in most uses.
