74HC2G16GWH

Overview

The Nexperia 74HC2G16GWH is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS dual buffer gate housed in a TSSOP6 (SOT363-2) package. It provides two non-inverting buffers with a wide supply voltage range from 2.0 V to 6.0 V. The device complies with JEDEC standards JESD8C and JESD7A, ensuring compatibility across various logic families. It features balanced propagation delays and unlimited input rise and fall times. ESD protection exceeds 2000 V (HBM) and 1000 V (CDM). Operating temperatures are specified from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual non-inverting buffer configuration for signal conditioning
• Wide operating supply voltage range supporting multiple logic levels
• High noise immunity with balanced propagation delays
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection compliant with JEDEC standards

Applications

• Signal buffering in mixed-voltage digital systems
• Line driving for data transmission paths
• Level translation between different CMOS logic families
• General-purpose buffering for microcontroller I/O expansion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'GW' corresponds to the TSSOP6 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT363-2) with a body width of 1.25 mm. Confirm that the required temperature range covers the full industrial specification of -40 °C to +125 °C. Ensure design compliance with the absolute maximum ratings, particularly regarding supply voltage limits and total power dissipation derating curves above 83 °C.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact dual buffer solution is required within space-constrained designs utilizing the TSSOP6 footprint. It is suitable for applications demanding operation across a broad voltage spectrum from 2.0 V to 6.0 V. Consider the 74HCT2G16 variant if TTL-level input compatibility at 5 V is necessary, as the HC version utilizes CMOS input thresholds.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Nexperia 74HC/HCT2G1x series of single and dual logic gates. It shares functional similarities with other members like the 74HC2G04 (inverter) and 74HC2G125 (buffer with output enable), but specifically offers non-inverting buffering without control pins. The technology leverages silicon-gate CMOS processes to achieve high speed while maintaining low power consumption typical of the 74HC family.

Replacement Considerations

The 74HCT2G16GW serves as a direct functional replacement where TTL-compatible inputs are preferred over standard CMOS thresholds. Other dual buffer options within the same package include variants from the 74LVC or 74AHC families, though these may require adjustments to supply voltage specifications and pinout verification.
