onsemi NLX2G86MUTCG

Overview

NLX2G86MUTCG from onsemi is a dual 2-input XOR gate IC operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, delivering 2.4 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, 24 mA balanced output drive, and over-voltage tolerant I/O-used in level-shifting logic interfaces and high-speed digital control circuits.

For engineers reviewing the NLX2G86MUTCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional identity, validated UQFN8 pin mapping, confirmed LVTTL/LVCMOS compatibility, and real-world design implications for mixed-voltage system integration.

Technical Context

The NLX2G86MUTCG implements two independent XOR logic functions with true complementary outputs, supporting rail-to-rail input operation up to 7.0 V (beyond VCC) and full 5.5 V output swing. Its design enables direct interfacing between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V logic domains without external level shifters.

It features near-zero static supply current (<10 µA), 2.5 pF typical input capacitance, and 9–11 pF power-dissipation capacitance-enabling low-noise, low-power operation in battery-sensitive and high-density PCB layouts where dynamic switching efficiency matters.

FAQ

What logic family does the NLX2G86MUTCG belong to?

The NLX2G86MUTCG belongs to onsemi's NLX advanced logic family, optimized for high-speed, low-voltage operation with over-voltage tolerant inputs. It is not TTL-, CMOS-, or LVTTL-family-compatible by architecture-but achieves interoperability via its wide VCC range (1.65–5.5 V) and 0–7.0 V input tolerance. The NLX2G86MUTCG delivers performance characteristics exceeding standard LVC and AHC logic series while maintaining pinout compatibility with industry-standard dual XOR packages.

Can the NLX2G86MUTCG interface directly with 5 V TTL devices when powered at 3.0 V?

Yes-the NLX2G86MUTCG supports LVTTL-compatible interfacing at VCC = 3.0 V, meaning its outputs meet 5 V TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and its inputs accept 5 V logic levels safely due to over-voltage tolerance up to 7.0 V. This eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage designs. The NLX2G86MUTCG has been validated per JESD8-12 for 3.0 V operation with 5 V bus signaling.

What is the maximum recommended load capacitance for the NLX2G86MUTCG at 5.0 V supply?

The NLX2G86MUTCG is characterized with CL = 15 pF and RL = 1 MΩ for propagation delay measurements, and supports up to 50 pF with RL = 500 Ω while maintaining tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.2 ns. For reliable signal integrity, keep total load capacitance ≤30 pF when driving transmission lines or multiple CMOS inputs. Exceeding this may increase jitter and degrade the NLX2G86MUTCG's 2.4 ns typical delay advantage.

Does the NLX2G86MUTCG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?

Yes-unused inputs on the NLX2G86MUTCG must never be left floating. Per datasheet Note 5, all inputs must be tied to a defined logic level (VCC or GND) using either direct connection or a pull-up/pull-down resistor (10 kΩ typical). Leaving inputs unconnected risks increased ICC, noise susceptibility, and undefined output states-potentially compromising the NLX2G86MUTCG's low-power and deterministic behavior.

Is the NLX2G86MUTCG pin-compatible with the SN74LVC2G86 in UQFN8 package?

No-the NLX2G86MUTCG and SN74LVC2G86 share the same UQFN8 footprint and pin count, but their pin assignments differ: NLX2G86MUTCG uses Pin 1 = Y1, Pin 2 = B2, Pin 3 = A2, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = Y2, Pin 6 = B1, Pin 7 = A1, Pin 8 = VCC; SN74LVC2G86 uses Pin 1 = A1, Pin 2 = B1, Pin 3 = GND, Pin 4 = Y1, Pin 5 = Y2, Pin 6 = A2, Pin 7 = B2, Pin 8 = VCC. Interchanging them without layout revision will cause functional failure. The NLX2G86MUTCG is not a drop-in replacement for SN74LVC2G86.
