Product details
Overview
SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 from Texas Instruments is a single 2-of-3 decoder/demultiplexer IC operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, featuring 3 active-low outputs (Y0–Y2), dual address inputs (A0/A1), and an active-low enable (G). It delivers 5.1 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V and ±24 mA output drive, used in compact logic-level translation and address decoding for microcontroller peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 datasheet, SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 pinout, SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 application, or SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its VSSOP-8 (DCU) package, Ioff-enabled partial-power-down support, 10 µA max ICC, 3.3 V/5 V mixed-voltage interface capability, and guaranteed operation down to –40°C.
Technical Context
This device implements a positive-logic 2-input binary decoder with three complementary outputs, where only one output goes low per valid A1:A0 combination when G is asserted low. Its internal structure uses LVC-series CMOS logic with bus-hold circuitry disabled by default and no internal pull-ups.
It supports live insertion via Ioff, which disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V. The design includes robust ESD protection (2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM) and meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct interfacing between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| tpd (max) | 5.1 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports high-speed address decoding in FPGA configuration, sensor multiplexing, and real-time control paths. |
| IOL / IOH | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - Drives multiple standard CMOS loads or small LEDs directly without external buffers. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA max - Prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial power-down in modular systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5 V to 5.5 V - Accepts overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, simplifying mixed-supply board design. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including motor control and instrumentation. |
| ICC (max) | 10 µA - Enables ultra-low static power in battery-backed or always-on subsystems like wake-on-event logic. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DCU) package: 2.3 mm × 2.0 mm footprint, 0.5 mm pitch, 0.9 mm max height, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G (Enable) | Active-low enable input; when high, all outputs Y0–Y2 are forced high-impedance (via internal disable path). |
| 2 | Y0 | Active-low decoded output corresponding to A1:A0 = 00; sinks current when selected and enabled. |
| 3 | A0 | LSB address input; sampled synchronously with G to determine output activation pattern. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for logic and output stages; must be connected before VCC for safe power sequencing. |
| 5 | Y2 | Active-low decoded output corresponding to A1:A0 = 11; provides third decode state for ternary selection. |
| 6 | A1 | MSB address input; combined with A0 to select one of three mutually exclusive low outputs. |
| 7 | Y1 | Active-low decoded output corresponding to A1:A0 = 01; enables sequential channel selection in 3-channel systems. |
| 8 | VCC | Supply voltage input; powers internal logic and output drivers; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoFree™ packaging | Dies-as-package construction eliminates bond wires and mold compound, reducing parasitic inductance and enabling 0.5 mm pitch routing. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Automatically isolates inputs/outputs when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe insertion into live backplanes or hot-swappable modules. |
| Voltage translation support | Accepts 5.5 V-tolerant inputs while operating at 1.65 V VCC, enabling direct connection to legacy 5 V buses without external translators. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - Minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes in dense PCB layouts. |
| High noise immunity | VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., VIH = 0.7×VCC at 4.5–5.5 V), ensuring reliable switching across supply variations. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Hub | USB-C Port Controller Logic |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar decoder/demultiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G139DCUR | 2-to-4 decoder with active-low outputs; requires one additional input pin and provides fourth output. | Used where four-channel selection is needed instead of three; occupies same DCU package but adds routing complexity. | Select when expanding from 3- to 4-channel systems; verify layout compatibility due to different pin mapping (G1/G2 enable scheme). |
| 74LVC1G238DCUR | Single 3-to-8 decoder; larger die, higher ICC (20 µA), same VCC range and Ioff support. | Suitable for future-proofing where more than three outputs may be required; consumes same PCB area but higher static power. | Choose if system architecture anticipates >3 decode states; note increased propagation delay (6.5 ns @ 3.3 V) versus SN74LVC1G29DCURG4. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G139DCUR and 74LVC1G238DCUR, SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 offers optimal minimalism for exactly three-output selection-delivering lowest ICC, smallest propagation delay, and tightest pin count while retaining full Ioff and voltage translation capability.

FAQ
What is the function of the G (enable) pin on the SN74LVC1G29DCURG4?
The G pin is an active-low enable input. When G is low, the SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 decodes A1:A0 to assert exactly one of Y0–Y2 low; when G is high, all three outputs go high-impedance. This allows dynamic channel gating in time-multiplexed systems without affecting address lines.
Does the SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 support 5 V tolerant inputs while operating at 1.8 V VCC?
Yes. The SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, enabling direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers or sensors while powered from a 1.8 V rail-no external level shifter required.
Can the SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes. Its Ioff feature disables all outputs and blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, making SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 suitable for live insertion into powered backplanes or modular systems where cards are replaced without powering down the host.
What is the maximum output drive capability of the SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 at 3.3 V?
At VCC = 3.3 V, the SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 delivers ±24 mA per output-sufficient to directly drive LEDs, small relays, or multiple 74LVC inputs without buffering, verified under IOL = 24 mA and IOH = –24 mA test conditions.
Is the SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 pin-compatible with other VSSOP-8 logic devices?
No. While SN74LVC1G29DCURG4 uses the standard VSSOP-8 (DCU) mechanical footprint, its pinout (G, Y0, A0, GND, Y2, A1, Y1, VCC) is unique to this decoder function and differs from common logic families like inverters or buffers-PCB layout must match this specific assignment.
