74AHC3G04DC,125

Overview

The Nexperia 74AHC3G04DC,125 is a triple inverter housed in an 8-lead VSSOP package (SOT765-1). It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V and features overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. The device utilizes CMOS technology with balanced propagation delays and symmetrical output impedance. It supports ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C and includes ESD protection exceeding 2000 V (HBM) and 1000 V (CDM).

Feature Summary

• Triple inverter configuration with overvoltage tolerant inputs for mixed-voltage environments.
• CMOS low power dissipation combined with high noise immunity and balanced propagation delays.
• Robust latch-up performance exceeding 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II Level A.

Applications

• Translators in mixed voltage environments.
• General-purpose logic inversion.
• Signal buffering.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '125' corresponds to the standard tape-and-reel packaging format required by your automated assembly line. Confirm that the VSSOP8 (SOT765-1) footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance standards applicable to your manufacturing region before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a compact triple inverter is needed for 2.0 V to 5.5 V systems requiring input tolerance above the supply rail. It serves as a direct replacement for similar 74AHC series inverters in space-constrained designs. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C aligns with your environmental specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Nexperia 74AHC family of high-speed Si-gate CMOS devices. It is pin-compatible with other 74AHC series logic functions, facilitating design flexibility. The DC suffix specifically denotes the VSSOP8 plastic very thin shrink small outline package, distinguishing it from TSSOP or XSON variants within the same logical family.

Replacement Considerations

The 74AHCT3G04DC,125 is a compatible alternative within the same package, though it requires a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and uses TTL input levels instead of CMOS levels.

FAQ

Can the 74AHC3G04DC,125 interface directly with 5 V logic signals while powered at 3.3 V?

Yes, the inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V, allowing them to accept 5 V logic levels even when the device is powered by a lower voltage such as 3.3 V.

What is the maximum allowable input transition rate for this device?

The recommended operating conditions specify a maximum input transition rise and fall rate of 20 ns/V when the supply voltage is between 4.5 V and 5.5 V.
