SN74LV123A: Is it OK to input voltage higher than the Vcc?

Part Number: SN74LV123A

Hello team,

I received a question from my customer about behavior of monostable multivibrator logic "SN74LV123A".

Customers are willing to use VCC = 3.3V, and input voltage Vi = 5V(typ) for their application.

Vcc(3.3V) < Vi(typ  5V) < 5.5V

  • Is it OK to apply a input voltage larger than VCC? Or are there any max condition of Vih?

The recommended operating conditions only state high level input voltage as "Vih = VCC x 0.7 V (min)", but there are no max value listed.

Best Regards,

Ryotaro Fukui

    The recommended input voltage limits are specified separately from the input high state definition:

    Yes, the input voltage can be up to 5.5V, independent of VCC.

    VIH is only an indicator of the "high" input state -- so long as your input voltage is above the minimum value (0.7*Vcc), the device will detect that as a 'high' input.

    Hello Maier-san,

    I understood that Vin could be set independent of VCC as long as it is less than 5.5V.

    I guess this specification makes it possible to set it to "high" with plenty of margin.

    Thank you for your confirmation and I appreciate your prompt response.
