74HC3GU04DP,125

Overview

The Nexperia 74HC3GU04DP,125 is a triple unbuffered inverter housed in an SOT505-2 (TSSOP8) package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V and supports ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C. The device features symmetrical output impedance, high noise immunity, and low-power dissipation. Propagation delays are balanced, with typical values ranging from 5 ns at 6.0 V to 13 ns at 2.0 V.

Feature Summary

• Includes input clamp diodes for interfacing with voltages exceeding VCC using current limiting resistors
• Provides ESD protection exceeding 2000 V via Human Body Model and 1000 V via Charged Device Model
• Offers wide supply voltage flexibility from 2.0 V to 6.0 V

Applications

• Linear amplifier circuits
• Crystal oscillator designs
• General-purpose signal inversion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the 74HC3GU04 series includes both TSSOP8 and VSSOP8 variants. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C. Ensure power dissipation limits are respected, noting linear derating requirements above specific thermal thresholds for the TSSOP8 package.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact triple inverter solution is required for mixed-voltage environments due to its input clamp diode capability. The HC logic family ensures compatibility with standard CMOS levels while offering balanced propagation delays. Consider the TSSOP8 package for applications requiring a body width of 3 mm and lead length of 0.5 mm.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HC3GUxx series of unbuffered inverters manufactured by Nexperia. It shares functional similarities with buffered counterparts but lacks internal buffering, making it suitable for feedback-based analog applications like oscillators. The DP suffix specifically denotes the TSSOP8 plastic thin shrink small outline package variant.

Replacement Considerations

The 74HC3GU04DC serves as a direct pin-compatible alternative utilizing the VSSOP8 package.
