Nexperia USA Inc. XC7SHU04GW,125

Overview

XC7SHU04GW,125 from Nexperia is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS single-channel inverter operating from 2.0 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering symmetrical output impedance (typ. 25 Ω), balanced propagation delays (min 1.0 ns at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF), and full industrial temperature range support (−40 °C to +125 °C). It serves as a logic-level signal inverter in clock buffering, level translation, and oscillator feedback paths.

For engineers reviewing the XC7SHU04GW,125 datasheet, XC7SHU04GW,125 pinout, XC7SHU04GW,125 application, or XC7SHU04GW,125 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, real-world timing behavior under load, static voltage thresholds across temperature, ESD robustness (HBM >2000 V), and validated crystal oscillator design guidance - all critical for automotive-grade sensor interface and industrial control logic design.

Technical Context

The XC7SHU04GW,125 implements a single-stage CMOS inverter with rail-to-rail input compatibility (VI = −0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V) and push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V. Its internal structure avoids latch-up and supports direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs without external biasing.

It operates reliably across VCC = 2.0–5.5 V with VIH = 4.4 V (min at VCC = 5.5 V) and VOL = 0.36 V (max at IO = 8 mA, VCC = 4.5 V), enabling interoperability with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic families while maintaining noise margins >0.7 V in typical configurations.

FAQ

Can XC7SHU04GW,125 be used in a crystal oscillator circuit without external bias resistors?

Yes - the device's internal DC bias point allows direct use in Pierce oscillator configurations. Figure 13 shows R1 and R2 values optimized for frequencies from 3 kHz to 600 kHz; R1 ≥ 3 kΩ ensures stable startup, and R2 selection follows Table 12 to maintain minimum ICC while minimizing VCC sensitivity.

What is the maximum capacitive load the XC7SHU04GW,125 can drive while maintaining specified tpd?

The datasheet guarantees tpd ≤ 10.0 ns (max) at CL = 50 pF across −40 °C to +125 °C. Driving >50 pF increases delay nonlinearly and may cause ringing; for 100 pF loads, add a series 10 Ω resistor at the output to dampen reflections without affecting logic thresholds.

Does pin 1 (n.c.) require any PCB layout consideration?

No - pin 1 is internally unconnected and electrically isolated. It may be left floating, grounded, or routed as a test point; no thermal or electrical impact occurs. The pin 1 indicator is located below the marking code ('fD') in the lower-left corner per Figure 4.

How does the XC7SHU04GW,125 handle input voltages exceeding VCC or below GND?

It tolerates VI = −0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Input clamping current is limited to ±20 mA, and internal ESD diodes conduct outside this range - but sustained violation causes permanent damage. Always limit input transients with series resistors if interfacing to noisy or hot-plug sources.
