onsemi NLX2G04CMUTCG

Overview

NLX2G04CMUTCG from onsemi is a dual CMOS inverter IC designed for high-speed logic level inversion in space-constrained applications. It delivers 1.8 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, supports 1.65–5.5 V supply operation, and features overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) inputs/outputs rated to ±7.0 V - enabling robust interfacing in mixed-voltage systems such as industrial I/O modules and portable sensor nodes.

For engineers reviewing the NLX2G04CMUTCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its UDFN6 1.0 × 1.0 mm package, ±50 mA output drive, power-down input protection, balanced tPLH/tPHL timing, and guaranteed operation from −55°C to +125°C.

Technical Context

The NLX2G04CMUTCG implements two independent CMOS inverter gates with rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC, enabling direct connection to higher-voltage peripherals without level shifters. Its input structure includes power-down protection diodes and ±1.0 µA max input leakage at 25°C, ensuring low standby current in battery-powered systems.

AC performance is characterized with CL = 15 pF and RL = 1 MΩ, delivering sub-3 ns propagation delay across 1.65–5.5 V VCC range. The device exhibits matched tPLH and tPHL delays (≤0.5 ns skew), supporting precise signal inversion in timing-critical paths like clock buffering and enable signal conditioning.

FAQ

What is the maximum input voltage rating for NLX2G04CMUTCG?

The NLX2G04CMUTCG supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +7.0 V on all I/O pins, independent of VCC level. This overvoltage tolerance allows safe connection to 5 V signals even when operating from a 1.8 V supply - eliminating need for external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage designs. The rating is validated per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up testing.

Does NLX2G04CMUTCG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?

No, NLX2G04CMUTCG does not require external biasing on unused inputs. Its CMOS input structure has inherent high impedance, and the device includes internal power-down protection that maintains defined logic states during VCC = 0 V conditions. Leaving inputs unconnected is acceptable per onsemi's recommended usage guidelines for this part.

What is the thermal pad configuration for the UDFN6 package of NLX2G04CMUTCG?

The NLX2G04CMUTCG UDFN6 package (Case 517BX) includes an exposed copper thermal pad centered on the bottom surface. This pad is non-electrical and intended solely for thermal conduction to the PCB ground plane. It must be soldered to a solid copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to improve heat dissipation and mechanical reliability during reflow.

Can NLX2G04CMUTCG drive a 50 pF capacitive load at 10 MHz?

Yes, NLX2G04CMUTCG can drive a 50 pF load at 10 MHz. AC characterization shows tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.0 ns at VCC = 5.0 V, RL = 500 Ω, CL = 50 pF. With CPD = 11 pF and ICC = 10 µA, total dynamic power remains below 2.8 mW at 10 MHz - well within safe operating limits. Ensure proper VCC decoupling and minimize trace length to maintain signal integrity.

Is NLX2G04CMUTCG compatible with lead-free reflow profiles per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020?

Yes, NLX2G04CMUTCG is rated MSL Level 1 and fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 10 s duration). Its UDFN6 package meets J-STD-020 requirements without preconditioning or baking. The device uses matte tin terminations and passes JEDEC accelerated moisture resistance testing, supporting high-yield assembly in automated SMT lines.
