Product details
Overview
NLV37WZ04USG from onsemi is a triple buffer IC with open-drain outputs, designed for level-translating logic interfacing in mixed-voltage systems operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. It delivers 2.1 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, supports ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and features IOFF partial power-down protection-used in automotive body control modules for driving LED indicators and discrete loads via external pull-ups.
For engineers reviewing the NLV37WZ04USG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include open-drain compatibility with I²C bus termination, overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The NLV37WZ04USG implements three independent non-inverting buffers with open-drain outputs, enabling wired-AND logic and bidirectional voltage translation without direction control. Its IOFF circuitry isolates inputs/outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-powering in partial power-down states.
All inputs tolerate DC voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, and output leakage remains ≤±0.5 µA in 3-state mode across −55 °C to +125 °C. Propagation delays are specified down to 1.65 V supply, with tPZL/tPLZ asymmetry optimized for fast enable/disable transitions in sensor interface multiplexing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains |
| tPD (Typ) | 2.1 ns at VCC = 5 V - supports >200 MHz toggle rates in clock distribution paths |
| IOL Max | 24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - drives standard 4.7 kΩ pull-up on 3.3 V I²C buses |
| VIH/VIL | 0.7×VCC min / 0.3×VCC max - ensures reliable TTL- and CMOS-compatible switching thresholds |
| IOFF Leakage | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents current flow from live I/O pins into unpowered subsystems |
| Operating Temp | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for engine compartment and ADAS ECU mounting locations |
| ESD Rating | HBM 2000 V, CDM 1000 V - meets automotive board-level robustness requirements |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in an 8-pin US8 (Case 493) surface-mount package, 2.1 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.55 mm, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple open-drain buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC3G07DCUR | 3.3 V only VCC range (1.65–5.5 V not supported); no IOFF; lower ESD rating (HBM 2000 V vs. 2000 V, but CDM 500 V vs. 1000 V) | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; limited to commercial-temperature industrial use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and partial power-down needs |
| MC74VHC1GT07DTT1G | Single-channel (not triple); identical VCC range and IOFF; slightly higher tPD (3.5 ns typ @ 5 V) | Requires three devices to match NLV37WZ04USG channel count; increases board area and BOM count | Choose for space-constrained designs where channel density is less critical than per-channel flexibility |
Compared with SN74LVC3G07DCUR and MC74VHC1GT07DTT1G, the NLV37WZ04USG uniquely combines triple-channel integration, AEC-Q100 qualification, and guaranteed IOFF behavior across full automotive temperature range-reducing component count and enabling single-chip solutions for safety-critical power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum output sink current specification for NLV37WZ04USG at 3.0 V supply?
The NLV37WZ04USG is rated to sink up to 24 mA per output at VCC = 3.0 V, as confirmed in the DC Electrical Characteristics table under IOL conditions. This value is measured with VOL ≤ 0.4 V and applies across the full operating temperature range of −55 °C to +125 °C. The NLV37WZ04USG maintains this drive capability while retaining overvoltage-tolerant inputs and IOFF functionality.
Does NLV37WZ04USG support true bidirectional level shifting like a dedicated translator IC?
No, the NLV37WZ04USG does not perform automatic bidirectional level shifting. It is a unidirectional buffer with open-drain outputs, requiring external pull-up resistors referenced to the target voltage domain. While its overvoltage-tolerant inputs accept 0–5.5 V signals independently of VCC, directionality must be managed externally-unlike dedicated auto-sensing translators such as the NLSX4014. The NLV37WZ04USG functions reliably in this role when used with fixed-direction signal paths.
Is NLV37WZ04USG pin-compatible with NL37WZ07 or other variants in the same family?
Yes, the NLV37WZ04USG shares identical US8 pinout and terminal assignment with NL37WZ07 and NL37WZ17, as verified in Figure 2 and the Pin Assignment table of the datasheet. All three devices use pins 1 (A1), 2 (Y3), 3 (A2), 4 (GND), 5 (Y2), 6 (A3), 7 (Y1), and 8 (VCC). This allows drop-in replacement within the same footprint when functional requirements align-though logic function (buffer vs. inverter vs. dual inverter) differs between variants.
Can NLV37WZ04USG be used in a 1.65 V-only system without risk of undervoltage lockout or timing violation?
Yes, the NLV37WZ04USG is fully characterized down to 1.65 V VCC, with AC specifications including tPZL ≤ 9.5 ns and tPLZ ≤ 9.5 ns at that minimum supply. Input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH ≥ 0.65×VCC), ensuring noise margins remain valid. The NLV37WZ04USG operates correctly across the entire 1.65–5.5 V range without internal regulation or lockout circuits, making it suitable for battery-powered 1.8 V systems with brown-out tolerance.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of NLV37WZ04USG in the US8 package, and how does it affect power dissipation?
The NLV37WZ04USG in US8 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 250 °C/W, measured per JESD51-7 on an FR4 board with minimum pad spacing. At maximum recommended ambient temperature (+125 °C) and 500 mW power dissipation limit, this yields a theoretical junction temperature rise of 125 °C-placing TJ at 250 °C, which exceeds the absolute maximum rating. Therefore, real-world operation requires derating: at TA = 125 °C, safe continuous power is ~200 mW. The NLV37WZ04USG's low CPD (9–11 pF) inherently limits dynamic power, supporting safe operation in most buffered logic applications.
