onsemi NLU2G04CMUTCG

Overview

NLU2G04CMUTCG from onsemi is a dual CMOS inverter IC designed for high-speed logic inversion in space-constrained applications. It delivers 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, supports 1.65–5.5 V supply operation, features overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) inputs/outputs up to 7.0 V, and operates across −55 °C to +125 °C - enabling use in automotive body control modules requiring robust signal conditioning.

For engineers reviewing the NLU2G04CMUTCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-small UDFN6 (1.0 × 1.0 mm) footprint, input overvoltage tolerance independent of V_CC, balanced t_PLH/t_PHL, and guaranteed latch-up immunity per JESD78 at ±500 mA.

Technical Context

The NLU2G04CMUTCG implements two independent CMOS inverter gates with rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance (−0.5 V to +7.0 V), decoupled from V_CC level. Its input structure includes power-down protection and ESD diodes rated for ±20 mA reverse current.

AC performance is characterized with CL = 15 pF and input transition rates up to 100 ns/V (at 3.3 V) or 20 ns/V (at 5.0 V); propagation delays are specified across full temperature range (−55 °C to +125 °C) and supply range (1.65–5.5 V), supporting industrial and automotive timing-critical logic interfacing.

FAQ

What is the maximum input voltage the NLU2G04CMUTCG can tolerate?

The NLU2G04CMUTCG supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +7.0 V on all input pins, regardless of the applied V_CC level. This overvoltage tolerance is enabled by internal protection diodes and is verified per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up testing. The NLU2G04CMUTCG maintains functional integrity even when interfacing with 5 V or 7 V signals while powered from 1.8 V or 3.3 V supplies.

Does the NLU2G04CMUTCG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?

No, the NLU2G04CMUTCG does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs. Its CMOS inputs have high impedance (>10¹² Ω) and defined VIH/VIL thresholds across the full supply range (1.65–5.5 V). Pull resistors are only needed if the driving source is high-impedance or open-drain - the NLU2G04CMUTCG itself provides no internal biasing.

Can the NLU2G04CMUTCG operate at 1.65 V supply voltage while maintaining full speed performance?

Yes, the NLU2G04CMUTCG is fully specified down to 1.65 V V_CC. At this minimum supply, t_PLH/t_PHL increases to 10.0 ns (max) with CL = 15 pF, compared to 3.5 ns (typ) at 5.0 V. All DC parameters including VIH, VIL, VOH, and VOL remain guaranteed across the entire 1.65–5.5 V range, ensuring reliable operation in low-voltage battery-powered systems using the NLU2G04CMUTCG.

Is the thermal pad on the bottom of the NLU2G04CMUTCG package electrically connected?

No, the exposed thermal pad on the underside of the NLU2G04CMUTCG's UDFN6 (case 517BX) package is not electrically connected to any internal node. It is a mechanical thermal enhancement feature only. Per onsemi's recommended layout, the pad should be soldered to a PCB thermal plane for improved heat dissipation but must remain floating - no electrical connection to GND or V_CC is allowed or required.

How does the NLU2G04CMUTCG handle unused inputs?

Unused inputs on the NLU2G04CMUTCG must be tied to a valid logic level - either V_CC or GND - to prevent floating states that cause increased ICC, noise susceptibility, or oscillation. Leaving an input unconnected violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and may result in unpredictable output behavior. For the NLU2G04CMUTCG, tying unused IN A1 or IN A2 directly to V_CC or GND ensures stable quiescent current and avoids unintended switching.
