onsemi NLV74HC04ADR2G

Overview

NLV74HC04ADR2G from onsemi is a high-performance silicon-gate CMOS hex inverter IC comprising six independent three-stage inverters in a 14-pin SOIC package. It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, delivers 10 LSTTL load drive capability, and supports industrial temperature range (−55 °C to +125 °C), making it suitable for logic-level translation and signal inversion in embedded control and power management circuits.

For engineers reviewing the NLV74HC04ADR2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include supply voltage compatibility (2.0–6.0 V), propagation delay (13 ns at 6.0 V), input leakage current (±1.0 µA), output drive strength, and SOIC-14 mechanical footprint compliance.

Technical Context

The NLV74HC04ADR2G implements six identical CMOS inverter stages with rail-to-rail output swing and high noise immunity. Its inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs and-when pulled up-are compatible with LSTTL outputs, enabling mixed-logic interfacing without level shifters.

Each inverter features symmetrical rise/fall times (13 ns max at VCC = 6.0 V), low quiescent ICC (40 µA max at 125 °C), and input capacitance of 10 pF. The device meets JEDEC Std. No. 7A and is Pb-free, halogen-free, and RoHS compliant.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for NLV74HC04ADR2G?

The NLV74HC04ADR2G is rated for operation from −55 °C to +125 °C. This extended temperature range is validated per JEDEC standards and supports deployment in under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. The NLV74HC04ADR2G maintains full DC and AC specifications across this entire range.

Does NLV74HC04ADR2G support 3.3 V logic systems?

Yes, NLV74HC04ADR2G fully supports 3.3 V operation: VIH is guaranteed ≥2.10 V and VIL ≤0.90 V at VCC = 3.0 V, providing >1.2 V noise margin. Its output VOH ≥2.48 V and VOL ≤0.26 V at 3.0 V/2.4 mA ensure reliable interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs. The NLV74HC04ADR2G requires no level-shifting circuitry in mixed-voltage designs.

Is NLV74HC04ADR2G pin-compatible with older TTL inverters?

Yes, NLV74HC04ADR2G is pinout-identical to the 74LS04 and MC14069. Pin assignments match exactly: inputs on odd pins (1,3,5,9,11,13), outputs on even pins (2,4,6,8,10,12), with VCC on pin 14 and GND on pin 7. This allows direct replacement in legacy designs without PCB modification, provided supply voltage and loading conditions align with HC characteristics.

What is the typical propagation delay of NLV74HC04ADR2G at 5 V?

At VCC = 5.0 V and TA = 25 °C, the typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of NLV74HC04ADR2G is 15 ns, with a guaranteed maximum of 19 ns across −55 °C to +125 °C. This value is measured from input 50% crossing to output 50% crossing under CL = 50 pF and RL = 1 kΩ test conditions per Figure 3 in the datasheet. The NLV74HC04ADR2G achieves faster timing than standard LS-TTL equivalents.

Does NLV74HC04ADR2G require external pull-up resistors for TTL compatibility?

Yes - while NLV74HC04ADR2G inputs are inherently compatible with CMOS outputs, they require external pull-up resistors (typically 1–10 kΩ to VCC) to interface reliably with LSTTL outputs. This ensures VIH exceeds the minimum 2.0 V threshold when driven by TTL's ~2.4 V high-state. The NLV74HC04ADR2G datasheet explicitly states this requirement in the "Features" section and functional description.
