Product details
Overview
SN74AUC1G240DCKR from Texas Instruments is a single noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state output, designed for 1.65-V to 1.95-V operation and 3.6-V I/O tolerance. It delivers ±8-mA drive at 1.8 V, achieves 2.5-ns max propagation delay, consumes ≤10-µA ICC, and supports partial-power-down via Ioff. It is used in low-voltage logic interfacing between mixed-supply domains in portable and space-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AUC1G240DCKR datasheet, SN74AUC1G240DCKR pinout, SN74AUC1G240DCKR application, or SN74AUC1G240DCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.8-V optimized timing, sub-1-V operability, 3-state bus isolation capability, SC-70 (DCK) package footprint, and Ioff-enabled power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-channel noninverting buffer with active-low 3-state control (OE high disables output). Its logic diagram confirms direct A→Y path with OE gating the output stage, enabling high-impedance state independent of input level. The internal architecture supports simultaneous operation across 0.8-V to 2.7-V VCC but is characterized and optimized specifically for 1.65–1.95 V.
It features Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V while inputs/outputs are biased up to 3.6 V. Absolute maximum ratings permit VI/VO up to 3.6 V regardless of VCC, enabling robust mixed-mode signal translation without external level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 0.8 V to 2.7 V - supports ultra-low-voltage operation down to sub-1-V, enabling compatibility with advanced process nodes and battery-sensitive designs. |
| Max tpd @ 1.8 V | 2.5 ns - ensures minimal signal delay in high-speed data paths such as memory interface buffers or clock distribution staging. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA @ 1.8 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or short PCB traces without external buffering in compact digital subsystems. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA @ 2.7 V - guarantees safe isolation during partial power-down, eliminating risk of current injection into unpowered rails. |
| IOZ (Off-State Leakage) | ±10 µA @ 2.7 V - maintains high-impedance integrity on shared buses, preventing unintended loading or contention. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and board-level integration without additional protection. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.35×VCC, VIH = 0.65×VCC - provides noise margin >30% of VCC across full operating range, ensuring reliable switching in noisy environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AUC1G240DCKR uses the SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin surface-mount package (2.47 mm × 2.3 mm × 1.1 mm max height), optimized for high-density PCB layouts. Pin 1 is located in quadrant Q3 per tape-and-reel orientation standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output stage return path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2 | A | Noninverting data input; accepts 0.8–3.6 V logic levels and drives internal buffer stage directly. |
| 3 | OE | Active-high 3-state enable; high = high-impedance output, low = functional buffer; requires pullup to VCC for power-up safety. |
| 4 | VCC | Supply voltage input; powers internal logic and output driver; supports 0.8–2.7 V with optimal performance at 1.65–1.95 V. |
| 5 | Y | Noninverting 3-state output; provides buffered A signal when OE is low; floats to high-Z when OE is high. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoFree™ WCSP option available | Die-as-package construction eliminates leadframe, reducing size and inductance - not applicable to DCK variant but confirms TI's ultra-miniaturization roadmap. |
| 3.6-V I/O tolerance | Allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage logic (e.g., 3.3-V microcontrollers) while powered from 1.8 V, eliminating discrete level shifters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-buffer-with-3-state-output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DCKR | Higher ICC (max 10 µA vs. 10 µA same), lower drive (±24 mA @ 3.3 V), wider VCC (1.65–5.5 V), no sub-1-V operation | Better suited for 3.3-V dominant systems; lacks 0.8-V operability and 3.6-V I/O tolerance | Select when interfacing legacy 3.3-V logic and higher drive is needed; avoid for <1.2-V domains. |
| NC7SZ125P5X | Smaller 1.2-mm × 1.5-mm SOT-353 package; similar 1.65–5.5 V range; no Ioff; max tpd = 3.5 ns @ 3.3 V | Targeted at ultra-small footprints where Ioff is not required; no partial-power-down support | Choose for space-critical designs without rail sequencing needs; verify bus contention risk during power transitions. |
Compared with SN74AUC1G240DCKR, SN74LVC1G125DCKR offers broader voltage flexibility but sacrifices sub-1-V operation and mixed-mode I/O robustness, while NC7SZ125P5X trades Ioff and timing performance for minimal footprint - making SN74AUC1G240DCKR the optimal choice for 1.8-V systems requiring guaranteed power-down isolation and ultra-fast response.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for SN74AUC1G240DCKR?
The SN74AUC1G240DCKR is fully specified down to 0.8 V VCC and operates reliably in sub-1-V domains. This enables use in ultra-low-power states of modern SoCs and energy-harvesting systems where supply rails dip below 1.0 V. Performance parameters including tpd and drive strength are characterized across the full 0.8–2.7 V range, with optimal timing at 1.65–1.95 V.
Does SN74AUC1G240DCKR support mixed-voltage interfacing?
Yes, SN74AUC1G240DCKR supports mixed-voltage interfacing through its 3.6-V I/O tolerance: inputs and outputs withstand up to 3.6 V regardless of VCC, allowing safe connection to 3.3-V or 2.5-V logic while powered from 1.8 V. This eliminates external level-shifting components in multi-rail systems like mobile baseband or sensor hubs.
How does the Ioff feature function in SN74AUC1G240DCKR?
The Ioff feature in SN74AUC1G240DCKR disables output drivers when VCC = 0 V, limiting input/output leakage to ±10 µA even if pins are biased to 2.7 V. This prevents damaging current backflow during partial power-down - essential for hot-plug, rail-sequencing, and battery-backed subsystems. OE state remains irrelevant during power-off; Ioff activates automatically.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE on SN74AUC1G240DCKR?
TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor to ensure high-impedance state at power-up. The minimum value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source; for typical microcontroller GPIOs (±20 mA), a 10-kΩ resistor provides sufficient margin. Lower values (e.g., 4.7 kΩ) improve noise immunity but increase static current; values above 100 kΩ risk slow rise time in noisy environments.
Is SN74AUC1G240DCKR pin-compatible with other SC-70 logic buffers?
SN74AUC1G240DCKR uses the standard SC-70-5 pinout (GND-A-OE-VCC-Y), matching industry-standard pin assignments for single-gate buffers like SN74LVC1G125DCKR and NC7SZ125P5X. However, functional differences - especially Ioff presence, voltage range, and timing - require validation in the target application; physical compatibility does not guarantee drop-in replacement.
