NC7SU04M5

Inverter Gates Overview

The NC7SU04M5 is a single-channel unbuffered CMOS inverter from the TinyLogic HS series, manufactured by onsemi. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0V to 6.0V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device utilizes advanced silicon gate CMOS technology for high-speed operation with low power consumption. Key electrical characteristics include balanced propagation delays and a quiescent supply current (ICC) of less than 1 µA. It provides a balanced output drive capability of 2 mA sink and -2 mA source currents.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Unbuffered design specifically optimized for crystal oscillator applications
• Low quiescent power consumption with ICC below 1 µA
• Balanced output drive ensuring symmetric signal transitions
• Broad operating voltage range supporting 2V to 6V systems

Inverter Gates Applications

• Crystal oscillator circuits
• High-speed logic inversion where buffering is not required
• Battery-powered devices requiring low standby current

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the package type upon ordering, as the M5X suffix denotes the SOT-23-5 variant. Confirm that the application does not require buffered outputs, as this component is strictly an unbuffered inverter intended for specific oscillator uses rather than general-purpose logic inversion. Ensure input pins are never left floating during operation.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-stage inverter is needed for crystal oscillator feedback loops. It is suitable for designs requiring minimal parasitic capacitance and low static power dissipation. Compare against buffered inverters if signal integrity or noise immunity is a primary concern, as the unbuffered topology offers different performance trade-offs.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the TinyLogic HS family, which focuses on high-speed performance in small packages. The NC7SU04 is a successor to Fairchild Semiconductor products following corporate integration. It serves as a specialized alternative to standard logic inverters where specific oscillator characteristics are required.
