Product details
Overview
SN74LVC3G17DCTR from Texas Instruments is a triple Schmitt-trigger buffer IC operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, performing Y = A logic with hysteresis (ΔVT = 0.56–1.11 V), 5.4 ns max tpd at 3.3 V, ±24-mA output drive, and Ioff support for live insertion. It serves signal conditioning in USB interface power sequencing, button debouncing, and noise-immune sensor interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC3G17DCTR datasheet, SN74LVC3G17DCTR pinout, SN74LVC3G17DCTR application, or SN74LVC3G17DCTR equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility (1.65–5.5 V), Schmitt input thresholds (VT+ up to 3.33 V, VT– down to 0.39 V), NanoFree™ SSOP-8 package footprint, and Ioff-enabled partial-power-down behavior in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
This device implements three independent noninverting buffers with Schmitt-trigger inputs-each with distinct positive-going (VT+) and negative-going (VT–) thresholds enabling noise rejection on slow or noisy signals. Its Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking back-current flow when VCC = 0 V.
The NanoFree™ DCT package uses the silicon die as the package body (2.95 mm × 2.80 mm), eliminating bond wires and mold compound to reduce parasitics. All inputs tolerate 5.5 V regardless of VCC, supporting mixed-voltage level translation without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - Enables operation across 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic domains |
| Max Propagation Delay | 5.4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 30/50 pF - Supports high-speed signal conditioning up to ~185 MHz toggle rate |
| Input Threshold Hysteresis | 0.56 V to 1.11 V - Rejects noise spikes ≤1.11 V peak-to-peak on input lines |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - Directly drives LEDs, small relays, or multiple 74LVC inputs without buffering |
| Ioff Current | ±10 μA max at VCC = 0 V - Prevents backflow damage during hot-swap or partial system power-down |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - Meets industrial-grade ESD immunity per JESD22-A114 |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC3G17DCTR is housed in an 8-pin SSOP (DCT) package measuring 2.95 mm × 2.80 mm, with gull-wing leads and 0.65-mm pitch. The NanoFree™ construction eliminates traditional packaging layers, reducing thermal resistance (RθJA = 220°C/W) and parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A | Input 1 | Schmitt-triggered noninverting input for Buffer 1; accepts 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC |
| 1Y | Output 1 | Noninverting buffered output; drives loads up to ±24 mA at 3.3 V |
| 2A | Input 2 | Schmitt-triggered noninverting input for Buffer 2; electrically isolated from other channels |
| 2Y | Output 2 | Noninverting buffered output; supports independent load switching |
| 3A | Input 3 | Schmitt-triggered noninverting input for Buffer 3; threshold hysteresis applies identically |
| 3Y | Output 3 | Noninverting buffered output; shares VCC/GND rails but no internal coupling |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-impedance |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply rail (1.65–5.5 V); powers all three buffers and Ioff circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enables reliable switching on slow-rising signals (e.g., mechanical switches, RC networks) with 0.56–1.11 V hysteresis |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V - essential for hot-plug and multi-rail systems |
| 5.5-V tolerant inputs | Accepts 5.5-V signals at any valid VCC (1.65–5.5 V), eliminating level-shifters in mixed-voltage designs |
| NanoFree™ DCT package | Die-as-package construction reduces size (2.95 × 2.80 mm), weight, and parasitic inductance vs. standard SSOP |
| Low ICC | 10 μA max quiescent current - suitable for battery-backed or always-on monitoring circuits |
Applications
| USB Power Button Interface | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Debounces mechanical power buttons connected to USB-C port controllers requiring clean, glitch-free enable signals.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schmitt-trigger buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G17DCKR | Single-channel variant in SC70-5 package; identical electrical specs but only one buffer | Requires three separate placements for triple functionality; higher board area and assembly cost | Choose when space allows discrete placement or channel independence is required |
| NC7SZ17P5X | Same function but in SC70-5; lower max drive (±24 mA at 3.3 V same), slightly higher tpd (6.5 ns) | Limited to commercial temp range (–40°C to +85°C); lacks Ioff specification | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer designs without hot-swap or extended temperature needs |
Compared with SN74LVC3G17DCTR, SN74LVC1G17DCKR increases PCB area and assembly complexity for triple-buffer use, while NC7SZ17P5X sacrifices Ioff protection and extended temperature rating-making SN74LVC3G17DCTR the only choice for automotive or industrial hot-swap applications requiring guaranteed back-drive immunity.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for SN74LVC3G17DCTR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for SN74LVC3G17DCTR is 6.5 V, but the recommended operating range is 1.65 V to 5.5 V. Operation above 5.5 V risks permanent damage, while below 1.65 V may cause unreliable Schmitt thresholds or output drive. All specifications-including propagation delay, hysteresis, and Ioff-are guaranteed only within the 1.65–5.5 V range per the SCES470F datasheet.
Does SN74LVC3G17DCTR support hot-swap or live insertion?
Yes, SN74LVC3G17DCTR supports live insertion via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, the outputs enter high-impedance state and block current backflow up to ±10 μA, preventing damage from back-driving by powered downstream circuits. This is validated per JESD78 Class II latch-up testing and enables safe insertion into partially powered backplanes or modular systems.
What are the input voltage thresholds for SN74LVC3G17DCTR at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V, SN74LVC3G17DCTR has VT+ = 1.50–1.87 V (positive-going threshold) and VT– = 0.84–1.14 V (negative-going threshold), yielding hysteresis ΔVT = 0.56–0.87 V. These values are measured across –40°C to +125°C and ensure reliable switching on signals with slow edges or superimposed noise up to ±435 mV peak-to-peak.
Can SN74LVC3G17DCTR be used for level translation between 5-V and 3.3-V logic?
Yes, SN74LVC3G17DCTR supports bidirectional level translation: its inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, so a 5-V signal applied to 1A while VCC = 3.3 V produces a clean 3.3-V output at 1Y. However, it does not translate 3.3-V inputs to 5-V outputs - output swing is rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC), so VCC must be set to the desired output voltage level.
Is the NanoFree™ package of SN74LVC3G17DCTR compatible with standard SSOP-8 reflow profiles?
Yes, SN74LVC3G17DCTR in the DCT (NanoFree™ SSOP-8) package is rated MSL Level-1 with unlimited floor life and peak reflow tolerance of 260°C. Its thermal profile matches standard SSOP-8 footprints, and the 2.95 mm × 2.80 mm body size and 0.65-mm lead pitch are fully compatible with existing SSOP-8 stencil apertures and pick-and-place tooling.
