Product details
Overview
SN74LVC1G29DCUT 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 24-mA output drive at 3.3 V and supports voltage-level translation across supply domains. It is used in low-pin-count address decoding and signal routing in portable microcontroller peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC1G29DCUT datasheet, SN74LVC1G29DCUT pinout, SN74LVC1G29DCUT application, or SN74LVC1G29DCUT equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, DCU-package pin mapping, Ioff-enabled partial-power-down support, propagation delay (5.1 ns @ 3.3 V), and validated alternatives for 2-of-3 decode logic replacement.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC1G29DCUT implements positive-logic 2-of-3 decoding: with G low, exactly one output goes low based on A1/A0 (00→Y0, 01→Y1, 10→Y2); all outputs go high when G is high. Its Ioff circuitry disables outputs during power-down, blocking back-drive current and enabling live insertion.
It operates across 1.65–5.5 V VCC, accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and maintains ±24-mA drive capability at 3.3 V. Output ground bounce (VOLP) and VOH undershoot (VOHV) are characterized at 0.8 V and >2 V respectively under 3.3-V/25°C conditions.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
VSSOP (DCU) 8-pin package: 2.4 mm × 2.2 mm footprint, 0.5-mm pitch, 0.9-mm max height, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU/SN finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G (Enable, active-low) | Global enable controlling Y0/Y1/Y2 activation; low enables decode function, high forces all outputs high. |
| 2 | Y0 (Output 0) | Active-low decoded output asserted when A1A0 = 00 and G = low. |
| 3 | A0 (Address bit 0) | LSB of 2-bit address input; sampled synchronously with G to determine active output. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal logic and output drivers; must be connected to system ground plane. |
| 5 | Y2 (Output 2) | Active-low decoded output asserted when A1A0 = 10 and G = low. |
| 6 | A1 (Address bit 1) | MSB of 2-bit address input; combined with A0 to select one of three outputs. |
| 7 | Y1 (Output 1) | Active-low decoded output asserted when A1A0 = 01 and G = low. |
| 8 | VCC | Supply voltage input (1.65–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output stages; requires local 100-nF decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoFree™ packaging | Die-as-package construction reduces footprint to 2.4 mm × 2.2 mm - ideal for space-constrained portable PCBs. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0 V - prevents back-current into powered sections during sequencing. |
| Voltage translation | Inputs tolerate 5.5 V while VCC ≥ 1.65 V - eliminates external translators when interfacing 5-V sensors to 1.8-V MCUs. |
| Low dynamic noise | VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2 V at 3.3 V - minimizes switching-induced supply rail disturbance in noise-sensitive analog sections. |
| High ESD immunity | 2000-V HBM rating - ensures reliability during automated assembly and field handling without additional protection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2-of-3 decoder/demultiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G139DCUR | 2-line-to-4-line decoder with active-low outputs; includes dual enable (G1/G2) and inverted outputs (Y0–Y3). | Provides 4 outputs instead of 3; requires additional logic to mask one output if strict 2-of-3 behavior is needed. | Choose when future expansion to 4-channel selection is anticipated or when dual-enable control is required. |
| 74LVC1G238DCUR | 1-of-4 decoder with active-high outputs and single enable; no Ioff support; identical DCU package and pinout except output polarity. | Requires external inverters to match SN74LVC1G29DCUT's active-low output behavior; lacks live-insertion capability. | Choose only if active-high outputs are acceptable and partial-power-down is not required in the system architecture. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G29DCUT, SN74LVC1G139DCUR offers greater output flexibility but adds complexity for 3-channel use, while 74LVC1G238DCUR sacrifices Ioff and output polarity compatibility - making SN74LVC1G29DCUT the optimal choice for compact, power-aware 2-of-3 decoding.

FAQ
What is the function of the G pin on the SN74LVC1G29DCUT?
The G pin on the SN74LVC1G29DCUT is the active-low enable input. When G is low, the device performs 2-of-3 decoding: one of Y0–Y2 goes low based on A1/A0. When G is high, all outputs (Y0, Y1, Y2) are forced high regardless of A1/A0 states. This enables global output disable for power gating or bus isolation in the SN74LVC1G29DCUT application.
Does the SN74LVC1G29DCUT support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the SN74LVC1G29DCUT includes Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-current flow from powered sections into the unpowered device. This feature is explicitly documented in the datasheet and enables safe live insertion, hot-swap, and mixed-rail sequencing - a key design advantage of the SN74LVC1G29DCUT over non-Ioff logic variants.
What package type is used for the SN74LVC1G29DCUT?
The SN74LVC1G29DCUT uses the VSSOP (DCU) package: an 8-pin, 0.5-mm pitch, 2.4 mm × 2.2 mm footprint with 0.9-mm maximum height. This package is distinct from the SSOP (DCT) and DSBGA (YZP) variants of the same family and is confirmed in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM for orderable part SN74LVC1G29DCUT.
Can the SN74LVC1G29DCUT interface between 5-V and 1.8-V logic domains?
Yes, the SN74LVC1G29DCUT supports down-translation: its inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, allowing 5-V control signals to safely drive A0, A1, or G even when VCC = 1.8 V. Outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC), so Y0–Y2 are compatible with 1.8-V receivers when VCC = 1.8 V - a core capability of the SN74LVC1G29DCUT.
What is the maximum propagation delay for the SN74LVC1G29DCUT at 3.3 V?
The maximum propagation delay (tpd) for the SN74LVC1G29DCUT is 5.1 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF, and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Switching Characteristics table of the official datasheet. This value applies to transitions from any input (A0, A1, or G) to any output (Y0, Y1, or Y2) and is a guaranteed limit - not a typical value - making it suitable for timing-critical SN74LVC1G29DCUT implementations.
