Product details
Overview
74AHC1G125DBVRE4 from Texas Instruments is a single 3-state bus buffer gate in SOT-23-5 package, operating from 2 V to 5.5 V with 6 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, ±8 mA output drive, and 10 µA max supply current. It functions as a unidirectional level-translating line driver in digital interface paths, enabling bus isolation in compact embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 datasheet, 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 pinout, 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 application, or 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state enable control timing (tPZH/tPHZ), low ICC power consumption, wide VCC range for mixed-voltage interfacing, and verified operation across –40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 implements a noninverting CMOS buffer with active-low 3-state output enable (OE). Its logic function is defined by Table 7-1: when OE = L, Y = A; when OE = H, Y = high-impedance. Input voltage tolerance extends to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, supporting down-translation from higher-voltage logic domains.
Switching performance is characterized at two load conditions (CL = 15 pF and 50 pF) and two supply rails (3.3 V ± 0.3 V and 5 V ± 0.5 V). Propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL) and 3-state transition times (tPZH/tPHZ/tPZL/tPLZ) are fully specified across –40°C to +125°C, with thermal metrics (RθJA = 278°C/W) validated for DBV package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports interoperability between 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Max tPD @ 5 V | 6 ns - ensures sub-10 ns signal path latency in high-speed control loops and data routing |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA @ 5 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads with controlled edge rates, minimizing ringing on PCB traces |
| ICC Max | 10 µA - enables ultra-low static power in battery-backed or always-on monitoring subsystems |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - allows safe interfacing with 5 V inputs while powered from 3.3 V or lower |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and medical equipment environments |
| ESD Rating | ±1500 V HBM - meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly and field service |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.8 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm body, 0.6 mm max height, JEDEC MO-178 compliant. RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C, unlimited reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low 3-state enable input | Pulling high disables output (Y = Z); pulling low enables true-pass-through (Y = A); tie to VCC via pullup for power-up high-Z safety |
| 2 - A | Buffer input | Accepts 0–5.5 V logic signals; compatible with TTL and CMOS families across full VCC range |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Must be connected directly to system ground plane; shared return for all internal logic and output stages |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | Drives bidirectional bus lines only when OE = L; presents >10⁹ Ω impedance when disabled |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output stage; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed ≤2 mm from pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 2 V–5.5 V operation enables single-buffer use across multiple voltage domains without external regulators |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | 5.5 V absolute max input voltage regardless of VCC - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in mixed-supply systems |
| Low Dynamic Power | 14 pF typical power dissipation capacitance - reduces switching current and EMI in high-frequency clock/data distribution |
| Controlled Edge Rates | Δt/Δv = 20 ns/V @ 5 V - limits slew-induced overshoot/undershoot on unterminated traces up to 10 cm |
| Industrial Temp Grade | –40°C to +125°C guaranteed operation - supports deployment in motor control enclosures and medical diagnostics hardware |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHC1G125DCKRE4 | SC-70-5 package (2.0 mm × 2.1 mm); RθJA = 289.2°C/W; identical electrical specs | Higher thermal resistance limits continuous output current in high-density layouts | Select for space-constrained designs where 0.8 mm² footprint reduction outweighs thermal derating needs |
| SN74AHC1G125DRLR | SOT-553-5 package (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm); RθJA = 328.7°C/W; same logic and timing | Smallest footprint but highest thermal resistance - unsuitable for sustained >4 mA output loads | Choose only for ultra-miniaturized consumer electronics with intermittent signal buffering duty cycles |

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended output current per pin for the 74AHC1G125DBVRE4?
The 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 supports ±25 mA continuous output current per pin (absolute maximum), but TI specifies ±8 mA as the rated drive level at 5 V with guaranteed timing. Exceeding ±8 mA may increase propagation delay variation and reduce noise margin; sustained operation above ±8 mA requires thermal derating per RθJA = 278°C/W.
Does the 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance state during power-up/power-down, the OE pin of the 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 must be tied to VCC via an external pull-up resistor. TI recommends minimum resistance based on driver sink capability; typical values range from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ depending on system noise immunity requirements and rise-time constraints.
Can the 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 interface a 5 V microcontroller with a 3.3 V FPGA?
Yes - the 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling direct connection of 5 V MCU outputs to its A pin while powered from 3.3 V. Its output swings rail-to-rail (0 V to 3.3 V), making it compatible with 3.3 V FPGA inputs without additional level translation.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 in its SOT-23 package?
The 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 in DBV (SOT-23-5) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 278°C/W, measured on a standard 2-layer JEDEC test board. This value assumes proper PCB copper pour and thermal vias; actual performance improves with ≥1 in² of 1-oz copper connected to GND and VCC pins.
Is the 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 suitable for automotive applications?
No - the 74AHC1G125DBVRE4 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the pin-compatible SN74AHC1G125-Q1, which undergoes extended temperature stress testing (–40°C to +125°C), enhanced ESD robustness, and failure analysis per automotive quality standards.
