74LVC2G16GWH

Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC2G16GWH is a dual buffer gate manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V and features overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. The device includes Schmitt-trigger action for noise immunity and IOFF circuitry for partial power-down applications. It supports direct interface with TTL levels and complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, JESD8C, and JESD36. ESD protection exceeds 2000 V (HBM) and 1000 V (CDM). Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual buffer configuration with Schmitt-trigger inputs for improved noise tolerance
• IOFF circuitry enables partial power-down mode to prevent backflow current
• Overvoltage tolerant inputs allow interfacing between 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems

Applications

• Translating signals in mixed 3.3 V and 5 V environments
• Buffering digital signals requiring high noise immunity
• Partial power-down applications utilizing IOFF functionality

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type required, as the 74LVC2G16 series is available in TSSOP6 (SOT363-2) and XSON6 (SOT886) configurations. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the desired thermal and mechanical specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations relevant to your region before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual non-inverting buffer is needed with wide voltage compatibility. The inclusion of Schmitt triggers makes it suitable for noisy environments or slow signal transitions. Verify that the application requires the specific IOFF feature for power management during standby states.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC family of CMOS logic devices, designed for low-voltage operation. The '2G' designation indicates two independent gates per package. The '16' function code identifies it as a buffer. The 'GW' suffix specifies the TSSOP6 plastic thin shrink small outline package variant.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts from other manufacturers offering dual buffers with similar voltage ranges and Schmitt trigger inputs. Ensure pinout compatibility if substituting directly into existing PCB layouts.
