Package and board-fit — SOT-5X3 footprint
The SN74LVC2G04DRLR is supplied in a SOT-5X3 package (SOT-563, SOT-666 compatible), surface-mount only. The 0.50 mm pitch and 1.6 mm body width demand a standard land pattern with 0.30 mm pads and a 0.65 mm solder paste aperture for reliable reflow.
What the 3.2 ns propagation delay means for timing closure
In a 100 MHz clock path, the delay consumes roughly one-third of the period, leaving margin for trace and buffer delays before setup-time violations appear. The 32 mA symmetric output drive (both high and low) can directly switch the gate of a small MOSFET or drive a 50 Ω transmission line over short PCB traces without a buffer.
Active lifecycle and compliance documentation
The full industrial temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) covers automotive under-hood and outdoor telecom enclosures without derating.
