Product details
Overview
NLU3G16CMX1TCG from onsemi is a triple non-inverting buffer IC in ULLGA8 (1.95 × 1.0 mm) package, designed for high-speed signal buffering in space-constrained digital systems. It delivers 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, supports 1.65–5.5 V supply, and features overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) inputs/outputs up to 7.0 V - enabling robust interfacing across mixed-voltage domains in industrial control and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NLU3G16CMX1TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ultra-small ULLGA8 footprint, ±12.5 mA output drive, power-down input protection, balanced tPLH/tPHL timing, and guaranteed operation from −55°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The NLU3G16CMX1TCG implements three independent CMOS non-inverting buffers with rail-to-rail input tolerance and symmetrical rise/fall propagation delays. Its input structure includes diode clamps and power-down protection, allowing safe floating-input operation without external pull resistors.
All three buffers share a single VCC and GND pair, operate down to 1.65 V, and maintain specified AC performance (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 8.0 ns at 5.5 V, CL = 15 pF) across the full −55°C to +125°C temperature range - confirming suitability for automotive under-hood and industrial edge nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 3.5 ns (typ) @ VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures minimal timing skew in clock distribution or data path buffering. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12.5 mA - sufficient to drive standard 50 pF loads or multiple CMOS inputs without signal degradation. |
| Input/Output Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +7.0 V - allows hot-swap, I/O fault protection, and mixed-supply system interoperability. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 1.0 µA (max) @ TA = 25°C - supports ultra-low-power standby modes in battery-powered devices. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive applications. |
| Package | ULLGA8 (1.95 × 1.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - ultra-compact, bottom-terminated land grid array for high-density PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
ULLGA8 package: 1.95 mm × 1.0 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, 8-terminal bottom-land configuration with exposed thermal pad (no internal connection). Pin 1 marked by chamfered corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN A1 | Buffer 1 input - accepts overvoltage-tolerant digital signals; internally protected against undervoltage and floating states. |
| 2 | OUT Y3 | Buffer 3 output - provides rail-to-rail CMOS-compatible output swing with ±12.5 mA sink/source capability. |
| 3 | IN A2 | Buffer 2 input - electrically identical to A1; supports independent signal routing without crosstalk. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference - shared return path for all three buffers; requires low-inductance PCB connection for noise immunity. |
| 5 | OUT Y2 | Buffer 2 output - matched propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) to Y1/Y3 for synchronized multi-channel buffering. |
| 6 | IN A3 | Buffer 3 input - supports same voltage and transition rate specs as A1/A2; enables 3-signal fan-out expansion. |
| 7 | OUT Y1 | Buffer 1 output - identical DC/AC characteristics to Y2/Y3; maintains consistent timing across all outputs. |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply - powers all three buffers; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 2 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-Tolerant I/O | Inputs and outputs withstand −0.5 V to +7.0 V regardless of VCC - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Power-Down Input Protection | Inputs remain high-impedance and non-latching when VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving and latch-up during power sequencing. |
| Balanced Propagation Delays | tPLH and tPHL match within 0.5 ns (typ) - critical for maintaining signal integrity in parallel data paths or clock fan-out. |
| Ultra-Small ULLGA8 Footprint | 1.95 × 1.0 mm area with 0.5 mm pitch - reduces PCB real estate by >40% vs. comparable SOIC-8 or TSSOP-8 buffers. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets J-STD-609 Category 1 moisture sensitivity (MSL Level 1) - supports standard reflow without baking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple non-inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC3G17DCUR | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), smaller UQFN8 (1.4 × 1.0 mm), higher ICC (10 µA typ) | Limited to 3.3 V systems; lacks 5 V and 7 V OVT capability | Select when board operates exclusively at 3.3 V and maximum space saving is critical. |
| MC74VHC1GT17DTT1G | Single-channel only, SOT-353 package, 2.0–5.5 V supply, no OVT (max VIN = VCC + 0.5 V) | Requires three separate packages for triple function; no overvoltage protection | Choose only if design already uses SOT-353 footprints and OVT is not required. |
Compared with SN74LVC3G17DCUR and MC74VHC1GT17DTT1G, the NLU3G16CMX1TCG uniquely combines triple buffering, 1.65–5.5 V operation, 7 V OVT tolerance, and ULLGA8 miniaturization - making it the only option supporting mixed-voltage hot-swap interfaces in space-constrained industrial and automotive designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the NLU3G16CMX1TCG can tolerate?
The NLU3G16CMX1TCG supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +7.0 V, independent of VCC level. This overvoltage tolerance applies to both inputs and outputs, enabling safe operation during hot-plug events, supply sequencing mismatches, or transient coupling in noisy environments - a key differentiator versus standard 5 V-tolerant logic buffers.
Does the NLU3G16CMX1TCG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No. The NLU3G16CMX1TCG includes built-in power-down protection that maintains high-impedance, non-latching behavior on inputs even when VCC = 0 V. Unused inputs may be left floating without risk of leakage current, shoot-through, or latch-up - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count in designs with configurable I/O.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for the NLU3G16CMX1TCG's ULLGA8 package?
Place a 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor between VCC (pin 8) and GND (pin 4) with trace length < 2 mm. Use soldermask-defined pads per onsemi's recommended footprint (1.24 mm × 0.53 mm lands, 0.50 mm pitch). Avoid thermal relief on GND/VCC pads to maximize thermal dissipation and minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching.
Can the NLU3G16CMX1TCG drive a 50 pF load at 10 MHz while maintaining timing specs?
Yes. At VCC = 5.0 V and TA = 25°C, the NLU3G16CMX1TCG guarantees tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns with CL = 50 pF. Its ±12.5 mA output drive ensures clean edges into 50 pF, and CPD = 8.0 pF enables predictable dynamic power calculation (PD = 8.0 pF × VCC² × fin + ICC × VCC) for accurate system-level power budgeting.
Is the NLU3G16CMX1TCG compliant with automotive qualification standards?
The NLU3G16CMX1TCG is not AEC-Q200 qualified, but its −55°C to +125°C operating range, MSL Level 1 rating, Pb-free construction, and robust OVT I/O make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive applications such as body electronics, infotainment interfaces, and cabin sensors - provided system-level validation confirms reliability under target environmental stress profiles.
