onsemi NLU2G07MUTCG

Overview

NLU2G07MUTCG from onsemi is a dual non-inverting buffer IC with open-drain outputs, designed for level-shifting and wired-OR logic in space-constrained applications. It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, delivers 3.8 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, supports ±12.5 mA output sink current, and features overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) inputs/outputs up to 7.0 V - enabling robust interfacing between mixed-voltage domains in portable IoT sensors.

For engineers reviewing the NLU2G07MUTCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its UDFN6 (1.2 × 1.0 mm) ultra-small package, open-drain topology for bus arbitration, OVT input tolerance, low ICC (1 µA max), and guaranteed operation across −55°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.

Technical Context

The NLU2G07MUTCG implements two independent CMOS non-inverting buffers, each with an open-drain output stage requiring external pull-up. Its input structure is overvoltage tolerant up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC, allowing safe interfacing with higher-voltage logic without level translators.

Propagation delays are balanced between channels (tPZL/tPLZ ≤ 10 ns max at 5.5 V, CL = 50 pF), and power-down protection prevents back-driving during VCC-off conditions. The device complies with JEDEC JESD78 latch-up immunity (±500 mA) and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable input voltage for NLU2G07MUTCG when VCC = 1.8 V?

The NLU2G07MUTCG supports input voltages from −0.5 V to +7.0 V regardless of VCC level. When VCC = 1.8 V, inputs may safely reach up to 7.0 V - a key overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) feature confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This eliminates external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage systems and is verified per JEDEC JESD88A.

Does NLU2G07MUTCG require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?

Yes, NLU2G07MUTCG has open-drain outputs and requires external pull-up resistors on both OUT Y1 and OUT Y2 to establish logic HIGH levels. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements. The device itself does not contain internal pull-ups, as confirmed in the Functional Description and Figure 2 logic symbol.

Is NLU2G07MUTCG suitable for automotive under-hood applications?

Yes, NLU2G07MUTCG is rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C and meets MSL 1 moisture sensitivity - qualifying it for under-hood automotive use. Its 150°C junction temperature limit, ±500 mA latch-up immunity (per JESD78), and Pb-free UDFN6 package support AEC-Q100 stress testing when used within recommended operating conditions.

What is the typical propagation delay of NLU2G07MUTCG at 3.3 V supply?

At VCC = 3.3 V, the typical propagation delay (tPZL) of NLU2G07MUTCG is 5.5 ns with RL = 50 Ω and CL = 15 pF, as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured from input transition (50% point) to output transition (50% point) and applies to both channels under identical test conditions.

Can NLU2G07MUTCG be used to replace a single-channel open-drain buffer like NC7SZ07?

NLU2G07MUTCG contains two independent open-drain buffers and cannot serve as a drop-in replacement for single-channel devices like NC7SZ07 without PCB redesign. While one channel could replicate NC7SZ07 functionality, the unused channel introduces potential noise coupling and requires proper termination - making it unsuitable unless dual buffering is explicitly needed.
