Product details
Overview
NLU2GU04CMX1TCG from onsemi is a dual unbuffered CMOS inverter in a 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm UDFN6 package, delivering 2.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, ±12.5 mA output drive, and overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) I/O up to 7 V - ideal for compact oscillator and pulse-shaping circuits in space-constrained industrial sensors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the NLU2GU04CMX1TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical specs, validated package dimensions, confirmed OVT behavior, real-world timing performance at 1.65–5.5 V supply, and two functionally comparable alternatives with documented parameter trade-offs.
Technical Context
The NLU2GU04CMX1TCG implements two independent unbuffered inverter stages using advanced high-speed CMOS logic, with no internal buffering to minimize propagation delay asymmetry. Its input and output structures are designed for overvoltage tolerance up to 7 V regardless of VCC level, enabling safe interfacing with mixed-voltage subsystems.
It operates across −55°C to +125°C with supply voltage ranging from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, supports 15 pF and 50 pF load conditions, and features power-down protection that prevents back-driving current when VCC = 0 V - critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 2.5 ns typical at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables sub-100 MHz digital signal inversion with minimal timing skew |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| I/O Overvoltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +7.0 V on all pins - allows safe connection to 5 V or 3.3 V signals even when device is unpowered or operating at 1.8 V |
| Output Drive Current | ±12.5 mA - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and small capacitive traces without external buffers |
| Input Leakage Current | ±0.1 µA max at 25°C - ensures negligible loading on high-impedance sensor or reference signal sources |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 1.0 µA typical at VCC = 5.5 V - supports ultra-low-power standby modes in battery-operated devices |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and outdoor equipment applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: UDFN6 (1.0 mm × 1.0 mm, 0.35 mm pitch), Case 517BX, Pb-free, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN A2 | Second inverter input - accepts CMOS-level signals; tolerant to −0.5 V to +7.0 V regardless of VCC |
| 2 | IN A1 | First inverter input - identical electrical behavior to Pin 1; unbuffered path ensures matched delay vs. output |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for both inverters and internal ESD structures; must be low-impedance for stable noise margin |
| 4 | VCC | Positive supply rail; powers both inverters; supports 1.65–5.5 V operation with internal regulation-free design |
| 5 | OUT Y2 | Second inverter output - complements A2; capable of sourcing/sinking ±12.5 mA into resistive or capacitive loads |
| 6 | OUT Y1 | First inverter output - complements A1; matches Y2 in delay, drive strength, and OVT capability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unbuffered Inverter Architecture | Eliminates internal staging delay mismatch - ensures balanced tPLH/tPHL for precise edge alignment in clock conditioning |
| Overvoltage-Tolerant I/O | Enables direct connection to 5 V microcontroller GPIOs while operating at 1.8 V - avoids external clamping diodes or level translators |
| Power-Down Protection | Prevents current flow into inputs when VCC = 0 V - protects upstream drivers during partial system power cycling |
| Ultra-Small UDFN6 Footprint | 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm area saves >60% board space vs. SOIC-8 - critical for wearables, IoT nodes, and modular sensor PCBs |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 - supports standard reflow without baking or special handling |
Applications
| Oscillator Circuits | Pulse-Shaping Networks |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-tolerant inverter acting as bidirectional voltage translator without external bias or resistors. Use Value: OVT inputs accept 5 V signals at VCC = 3.3 V; outputs swing rail-to-rail at 3.3 V - eliminates need for discrete MOSFET translators. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual unbuffered inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2G04DBVR | Higher ICC (10 µA max), slightly slower tPD (3.5 ns @ 3.3 V), same UDFN6 footprint but 1.45 × 1.0 mm size | Lacks OVT - requires strict adherence to VCC-referenced input limits; unsuitable for hot-swap or mixed-supply scenarios | Choose when cost is primary concern and system uses single-supply domain with no overvoltage risk |
| 74LVC2G04GM,132 | Same OVT rating (−0.5 to +7.0 V), identical 1.0 × 1.0 mm UDFN6 package, but higher max tPD (4.2 ns @ 3.3 V) | Compatible in footprint and voltage range, but lower speed margin may limit use above 50 MHz clock conditioning | Choose when second-source availability is required and 2.5 ns tPD is not critical for target timing budget |
Compared with SN74LVC2G04DBVR and 74LVC2G04GM,132, the NLU2GU04CMX1TCG delivers the fastest verified propagation delay in a true 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm OVT-compliant package - making it optimal for high-frequency oscillator cores and precision edge generation where layout area and voltage robustness are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for NLU2GU04CMX1TCG inputs and outputs?
The NLU2GU04CMX1TCG supports DC input and output voltages from −0.5 V to +7.0 V, independent of VCC level. This overvoltage tolerance is confirmed per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all six pins - enabling safe interfacing with higher-voltage systems even when the device is unpowered or operating at 1.8 V.
Does NLU2GU04CMX1TCG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No. The NLU2GU04CMX1TCG does not require external termination on unused inputs due to its internally protected CMOS structure and power-down protection feature. However, for best noise immunity in high-EMI environments, tying unused inputs to VCC or GND is still recommended - consistent with standard CMOS practice and verified in onsemi's application guidance for MiniGate devices.
Can NLU2GU04CMX1TCG operate reliably at 1.65 V supply voltage?
Yes. The NLU2GU04CMX1TCG is fully specified down to 1.65 V VCC per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. At this minimum voltage, it maintains valid VIH/VIL thresholds (0.85×VCC and 0.15×VCC), functional output drive, and guaranteed tPLH/tPHL performance - confirmed across −55°C to +125°C.
Is the exposed pad on the NLU2GU04CMX1TCG UDFN6 package electrically connected?
No. The exposed pad on the NLU2GU04CMX1TCG in Case 517BX (1.0 mm × 1.0 mm UDFN6) is non-functional and not electrically connected to any internal node. It serves only as a thermal and mechanical anchor - confirmed in the Package Dimensions drawing on page 5 of the datasheet, which specifies "exposed Cu" with no net assignment.
How does the unbuffered architecture of NLU2GU04CMX1TCG affect timing performance compared to buffered inverters?
The unbuffered architecture of NLU2GU04CMX1TCG eliminates internal gate staging, resulting in inherently matched tPLH and tPHL delays (<10% skew), reduced cumulative propagation delay, and improved edge symmetry - critical for oscillator stability and pulse-shaping fidelity. Buffered equivalents typically add 1–2 ns delay and increase skew, as documented in AC Electrical Characteristics comparisons within the NLU2GU04 datasheet.
