Product details
Overview
SN74LVC3G34DCUR from Texas Instruments is a triple non-inverting buffer gate IC designed for 1.65-V to 5.5-V VCC operation, performing Y = A logic with ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V, 4.1-ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and 5.5-V tolerant inputs - used in signal buffering, level translation, and LED driving in portable audio and embedded PC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC3G34DCUR datasheet, SN74LVC3G34DCUR pinout, SN74LVC3G34DCUR application, or SN74LVC3G34DCUR equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff partial-power-down support, NanoFree™ VSSOP-8 package compatibility, 3.3-V/5-V mixed-voltage interface handling, and high-drive capability for fanout-sensitive digital paths.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC3G34DCUR integrates three independent CMOS buffer gates sharing a single VCC and GND, each implementing true non-inverting logic (Y = A) with rail-to-rail output swing. Its Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking back-current flow when VCC = 0 V.
Input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V enables down-translation from higher-voltage domains (e.g., 5-V microcontroller I/O) to lower VCC rails (e.g., 1.8 V or 3.3 V), while its 3.5-pF typical input capacitance and 19-pF power-dissipation capacitance support clean signal integrity up to ~100 MHz.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DCU) package: 2.30 mm × 2.00 mm body, 0.65-mm lead pitch, 1.3-mm max height, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu/Sn lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A | Buffer Input 1 | CMOS-compatible input accepting 0–5.5 V; must be tied to VCC or GND if unused to prevent floating states. |
| 1Y | Buffer Output 1 | Non-inverting output with ±24-mA drive; capable of sourcing/sinking full logic swing from GND to VCC. |
| 2A | Buffer Input 2 | Independent input identical to 1A; electrically isolated from other channels except shared VCC/GND. |
| 2Y | Buffer Output 2 | Output with same timing and drive specs as 1Y; usable for parallel signal distribution or clock fanout. |
| 3A | Buffer Input 3 | Third input channel; supports independent enable/disable via upstream logic without affecting other buffers. |
| 3Y | Buffer Output 3 | Final buffered output; maintains consistent tpd and noise immunity across all three channels. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and output current; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single-supply rail powering all three buffers; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required adjacent to pin for stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoFree™ packaging | Dies-as-package construction reduces footprint to 2.30 mm × 2.00 mm - ideal for space-constrained portable designs like wireless headsets and SSDs. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Automatically disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing destructive back-current during hot-plug or power sequencing events. |
| 5.5-V tolerant inputs | Accepts 5-V signals while operating from 1.65-V rails - eliminates discrete level translators in mixed-voltage I/O expansion. |
| Low dynamic power | 10-µA max ICC at standby - extends battery life in always-on audio docks and PDA peripheral interfaces. |
| High noise immunity | Typical VOLP < 0.8 V and VO HV > 2 V at 3.3 V - suppresses ground bounce and undershoot in high-speed switching applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple buffer gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC3G34DCUT | Same die, VSSOP-8 package, but supplied in 250-unit small tape-and-reel - differs only in packaging quantity and reel dimensions. | Identical electrical and thermal performance; selected when prototyping or low-volume production requires smaller reels. | Choose SN74LVC3G34DCUT for evaluation or pilot runs; SN74LVC3G34DCUR preferred for volume manufacturing due to 3000-unit reel efficiency. |
| SN74AUP3G34DCUR | Ultra-low-power variant: 0.9-V to 3.6-V VCC, 1.8-ns tpd at 3.3 V, but reduced drive (±4 mA) and no 5.5-V input tolerance. | Better suited for ultra-low-power wearables or sensor nodes where speed and drive are secondary to quiescent current. | Select SN74AUP3G34DCUR only when VCC ≤ 3.6 V and drive < ±8 mA suffices; SN74LVC3G34DCUR remains optimal for mixed-voltage, high-drive needs. |
Compared with SN74LVC3G34DCUT and SN74AUP3G34DCUR, the SN74LVC3G34DCUR uniquely balances wide VCC range (1.65–5.5 V), high drive (±24 mA), and 5.5-V input tolerance - making it the only choice for robust, mixed-rail buffering in consumer and industrial edge devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the SN74LVC3G34DCUR?
The SN74LVC3G34DCUR is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up testing and thermal characterization in the VSSOP-8 (DCU) package, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications where thermal stress is critical. The SN74LVC3G34DCUR maintains full electrical specifications across this range.
Does the SN74LVC3G34DCUR support partial power-down functionality?
Yes, the SN74LVC3G34DCUR features integrated Ioff circuitry that automatically disables all three buffer outputs when VCC is at 0 V. This prevents damaging back-current flow during hot-insertion, power sequencing, or partial system shutdown - a key requirement for modular systems like docking stations and server backplanes using the SN74LVC3G34DCUR.
Can the SN74LVC3G34DCUR translate 5-V input signals to a 1.8-V logic domain?
Yes, the SN74LVC3G34DCUR accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling true down-translation. When powered from 1.8 V, its inputs safely interface with 5-V sources, and outputs swing rail-to-rail from 0 V to 1.8 V - allowing direct connection to 1.8-V logic without external resistors or translators. This behavior is guaranteed in the SN74LVC3G34DCUR datasheet Section 8.3.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the SN74LVC3G34DCUR VCC pin?
A 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 8) and GND (Pin 4) is recommended for the SN74LVC3G34DCUR. TI's layout guidelines specify this value to suppress high-frequency noise and transient current spikes caused by fast output switching. For multi-device boards, adding a bulk 1-µF capacitor nearby further stabilizes the local supply rail feeding the SN74LVC3G34DCUR.
Is the SN74LVC3G34DCUR pin-compatible with other members of the SN74LVC3Gxx series?
No - the SN74LVC3G34DCUR is not pin-compatible with other SN74LVC3Gxx variants (e.g., SN74LVC3G74 or SN74LVC3G86) because each device implements different logic functions (buffer vs. D-flip-flop vs. AND gate) with distinct internal routing. While all share the same VSSOP-8 (DCU) package outline and pin count, the pin functions (e.g., clock, data, enable) differ fundamentally. Always verify pin mapping against the specific SN74LVC3G34DCUR functional diagram.
