74LVC1G38GW,125

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC1G38GW,125 is a single 2-input NAND gate with an open-drain output housed in a TSSOP5 (SOT353-1) package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V and supports inputs up to 5.5 V. The device features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity and IOFF circuitry for partial power-down applications. Propagation delay ranges from 3.9 ns to 12.5 ns depending on voltage, with an output drive capability of ±24 mA at 3.0 V.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Open-drain output configuration suitable for wired-AND logic or level translation
• Schmitt-trigger action provides tolerance for slow input rise and fall times
• IOFF circuitry prevents damaging backflow current during partial power-down states

Inverter Gates Applications

• Mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic environments requiring signal translation
• Partial power-down applications utilizing IOFF functionality
• Digital circuits requiring high noise immunity with slow input transitions

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the base part number covers multiple packages. Confirm the temperature range specification aligns with operational requirements. Ensure design compliance with absolute maximum ratings to prevent permanent damage. Check for any recent product change notices affecting pinning or electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when an open-drain NAND function is required for interfacing different voltage domains. The wide supply range allows flexibility in low-voltage designs. Consider the thermal derating specifications for the TSSOP5 package if operating near maximum ambient temperatures. Verify that the load capacitance and resistance values are compatible with the specified propagation delays.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the 74LVC family of CMOS logic devices, designed for low-voltage operation. The GW suffix specifically denotes the TSSOP5 plastic thin shrink small outline package with a body width of 1.25 mm. This packaging option provides a compact surface-mount solution suitable for space-constrained printed circuit board layouts.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must maintain the 2-input NAND function with open-drain output and TSSOP5 packaging. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer equivalent IOFF capabilities and Schmitt-trigger inputs. Ensure the replacement device supports the same 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply range and 5.5 V input tolerance.
