Product details
Overview
74ABT125N,602 from NXP Semiconductors is a quad 3-state buffer IC designed for high-speed bus line driving in industrial and embedded digital systems. It features four independent output-enable inputs (1OE–4OE), 3.3 V/5 V tolerant inputs, ±32 mA HIGH/±64 mA LOW output drive, and operates across −40 °C to +85 °C. Its BiCMOS architecture delivers low static/dynamic power with propagation delays as low as 2.8 ns (typ) at 5.0 V.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT125N,602 datasheet, 74ABT125N,602 pinout, 74ABT125N,602 application, or 74ABT125N,602 equivalent, this device is selected for bidirectional bus isolation, level translation between logic families, and hot-swap-capable peripheral interfacing where robust drive strength and fast enable/disable timing are critical.
Technical Context
The 74ABT125N,602 implements four identical non-inverting buffers, each with an active-low 3-state output enable. Each channel operates independently: when its OE is LOW, the output follows the input (L→L, H→H); when OE is HIGH, the output enters high-impedance state (Z). Inputs remain functional during 3-state mode but are electrically disabled only when OE is asserted - not gated by output state.
Its BiCMOS process enables simultaneous high-speed switching (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns max) and strong current sourcing/sinking (IOH = −32 mA, IOL = +64 mA at VCC = 4.5 V), while maintaining low ICC (≤250 µA in enabled HIGH-state) and supporting live insertion/extraction per JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>500 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V system rails |
| Propagation delay (nA→nY) | 1.0–4.6 ns - enables sub-200 MHz bus operation with tight timing margins |
| Output drive (LOW) | +64 mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF buses) without signal degradation |
| Output drive (HIGH) | −32 mA - supports fan-out to multiple CMOS/TTL inputs while maintaining VOH ≥ 2.5 V |
| Input voltage range | 0 V to VCC - allows direct interface with 3.3 V logic outputs even at 5 V supply |
| ESD protection | HBM > 2000 V, MM > 200 V - meets industrial handling requirements without external protection |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for extended industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
DIP14 package (SOT27-1): plastic dual in-line, 14 leads, 300 mil width, through-hole mount. Pin 1 index marked; GND at pin 7, VCC at pin 14.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output enable controls - each independently disables one buffer's output to high-Z |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A | Buffer data inputs - accept TTL/CMOS logic levels; no internal pull-ups/pull-downs |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Buffer data outputs - deliver full-rail swing (VOL ≤ 0.55 V, VOH ≥ 2.5 V) under rated load |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system 0 V plane; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling; not internally regulated |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent 3-state buffers | Enables selective bus segment isolation without shared control - critical for multi-master arbitration |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Prevents bus contention during hot-plug of peripheral cards via controlled enable sequencing |
| Power-up 3-state | Outputs default to high-Z at power-on - eliminates undefined bus states during supply ramp-up |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD78 Class II - withstands transient overcurrent events in noisy industrial environments |
| Low input capacitance | CI = 4 pF - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal edge integrity |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Legacy ISA Bus Expansion Card |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating CPU address/data lines from modular I/O modules in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus buffer with per-channel OE control to prevent contention during module hot-swap and firmware update cycles.

Use Scenario: Controlling relay banks and opto-isolated sensor inputs in production line test fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Interfacing microcontroller GPIOs to higher-current external loads while providing electrical isolation via 3-state buffering. Use Value: −32 mA source / +64 mA sink drives relay coils directly; ESD rating >2000 V HBM prevents field failures during manual fixture reconfiguration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT125N | Identical pinout, same BiCMOS process, identical AC/DC specs; TI version with minor packaging marking variance | No functional difference - suitable for second-source procurement in existing DIP14 layouts | Select when TI-sourced supply chain diversification is required without redesign |
| 74LVT125PW | Lower VCC range (2.7–3.6 V), 3.3 V only; 24 mA/24 mA drive; TSSOP14 package only | Not compatible with 5 V systems; requires level-shifting if interfacing with legacy 5 V buses | Choose only for new 3.3 V-only designs where space-constrained TSSOP layout is mandatory |
Compared with SN74ABT125N and 74LVT125PW, the 74ABT125N,602 uniquely supports full 5 V operation with industrial-grade drive strength and DIP14 through-hole mounting - making it irreplaceable in legacy-reliant, high-noise, or serviceable hardware where drop-in 5 V compatibility and mechanical robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74ABT125N,602?
The 74ABT125N,602 does not specify a maximum clock frequency, but its propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns max at 5.0 V) supports reliable operation on buses with signal periods ≥10 ns - corresponding to effective data rates up to ~100 MHz in point-to-point configurations. System-level timing depends on load capacitance, termination, and routing; for 50 pF loads, usable bandwidth exceeds 200 MHz.
Can the 74ABT125N,602 operate with a 3.3 V supply voltage?
No - the 74ABT125N,602 requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.5 V and is rated only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per Table 5. Applying 3.3 V will result in undefined logic thresholds, degraded output drive, and potential failure to meet VOH/VOL specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider the pin-compatible 74LVT125 or 74ALVC125 families instead.
Is the 74ABT125N,602 pin-compatible with other packages in the 74ABT125 family?
Yes - all 74ABT125 variants (including 74ABT125D, 74ABT125DB, 74ABT125PW, and 74ABT125BQ) share identical pin functions and logic behavior. The 74ABT125N,602 (DIP14) matches the pinout of SO14, SSOP14, TSSOP14, and DHVQFN14 versions exactly, enabling direct PCB footprint substitution when mechanical constraints allow.
Does the 74ABT125N,602 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE inputs?
No - the 74ABT125N,602 OE inputs have no internal biasing and exhibit ≤±1.0 µA leakage (Table 6), so they must be actively driven to defined logic levels. Leaving OE floating risks indeterminate output states. External pull-downs (to GND) are recommended when OE must default to active (buffer enabled) at power-up; pull-ups (to VCC) for default-disabled operation.
What thermal derating applies to the 74ABT125N,602 in continuous operation?
The 74ABT125N,602 (DIP14 package) has no specified thermal derating curve in the datasheet, unlike SO14/SSOP14/TSSOP14 variants. Its maximum total power dissipation is 500 mW across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient (Table 4). At elevated ambient temperatures, junction temperature must remain ≤150 °C - design calculations should use θJA ≈ 60 °C/W (typical for DIP14) and include board copper area effects.
