Product details
Overview
74AHC1G125DCKTE4 from Texas Instruments is a single 3-state bus buffer gate with true noninverting logic, operating across 2 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering ≤7 ns propagation delay at 5 V, ±8 mA output drive, and ≤10 µA ICC. It serves as an isolated bidirectional bus interface enabler in compact digital subsystems such as display timing control and sensor data routing.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 datasheet, 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 pinout, 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 application, or 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (SC-70-5), functional truth table behavior, thermal resistance (RθJA = 289.2 °C/W), ESD ratings (±2000 V CDM), and validated alternative part selection guidance.
Technical Context
The 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 implements a CMOS-based single-channel buffer with active-low 3-state enable (OE), where Y = A when OE = L and Y = high-impedance when OE = H. Its input structure accepts voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling level translation from higher-voltage logic domains into 3.3 V or 2.5 V systems.
It features balanced rise/fall times (≤20 ns/V at 5 V), low dynamic power consumption (Cpd = 14 pF), and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C. The device avoids bus contention via explicit OE control and requires no external pull-ups for default high-Z state during power sequencing if OE is externally biased.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and brown-out tolerant operation down to 2 V. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 7 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures sub-10 ns timing margin for 100 MHz bus handshaking. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads with controlled edge rates, minimizing overshoot. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 10 µA max - enables use in always-on monitoring nodes without compromising system standby power. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - allows safe interfacing with 5 V logic while powered from 3.3 V or lower. |
| ESD Rating (CDM) | ±2000 V - meets JEDEC JESD22-C101 for robust handling in automated SMT assembly lines. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and medical patient monitoring environments. |
Pinout & Package
74AHC1G125DCKTE4 is housed in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package measuring 2.00 mm × 2.1 mm (body: 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and compatible with standard 0.65 mm pitch pick-and-place equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low 3-state enable input | Drives Y to high-impedance when high; must be pulled low (or driven) to pass A→Y data path. |
| 2 - A | Buffer input | True logic input accepting 0–5.5 V; no internal pull-up/down; requires external bias if unused. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output current; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 4 - Y | 3-state noninverting output | Drives high/low when OE = L; presents >10⁸ Ω impedance when OE = H - isolates bus segments. |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output stage; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply voltage range | 2 V–5.5 V operation enables direct integration into multi-rail systems without level shifters. |
| 5.5 V-tolerant inputs | Accepts 5 V signals even when VCC = 2.5 V or 3.3 V - simplifies down-translation in mixed-voltage I/O domains. |
| Low dynamic power | 14 pF power dissipation capacitance limits switching current, reducing noise coupling in sensitive analog sections. |
| Controlled edge rates | 20 ns/V input transition rate limit suppresses ringing on unterminated traces up to 10 cm in length. |
| High-impedance fail-safe | Outputs enter high-Z state when OE is unconnected or floating high - prevents unintended bus loading during reset. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DCKR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher drive (±24 mA); faster tPD (5.5 ns @ 3.3 V) | Better suited for 1.8 V logic domains and heavier capacitive loads (>50 pF) | Select when driving longer traces or interfacing with legacy 1.8 V FPGAs; verify OE logic polarity compatibility. |
| 74AUP1G125GW,125 | NXP variant; ultra-low power (ICC = 0.9 µA typ); slower tPD (10.5 ns @ 3.3 V); VCC = 0.8–3.6 V only | Optimized for battery-powered IoT sensors and wearables requiring nanowatt standby | Choose for energy-critical designs where propagation delay >10 ns is acceptable and supply is ≤3.3 V. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G125DCKR and 74AUP1G125GW,125, the 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 uniquely balances 2–5.5 V flexibility, 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, and moderate speed/power - making it optimal for industrial and medical systems needing interoperability across legacy and modern logic families.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage for 74AHC1G125DCKTE4?
The absolute maximum VCC rating for 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 is 7 V, per TI's SCLS377M datasheet Section 5.1. However, recommended operation is limited to 2 V–5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V may cause parametric shift or accelerated aging, and operation above 7 V risks permanent damage. Always observe the 5.5 V upper limit in functional designs.
Does 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 support level translation between 5 V and 3.3 V logic domains?
Yes - 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 supports down-translation: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, so a 5 V signal applied to pin A remains valid even when VCC = 3.3 V or 2.5 V. The output Y swings rail-to-rail within the VCC domain, enabling clean interfacing from higher- to lower-voltage logic without external components.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 in its SC-70 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 in the DCK (SC-70) package is 289.2 °C/W, as specified in Section 5.4 of the TI datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual performance improves with added copper pour or thermal vias beneath the pad.
Can 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 outputs be safely tied together in a wired-OR configuration?
No - 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 does not support wired-OR. Its outputs are push-pull (totem-pole), not open-drain. Connecting multiple Y outputs risks bus contention and excessive current flow if one drives high while another drives low. Use only one device per net, or implement external OR logic with diodes/resistors if required.
Is 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 pin-compatible with other SC-70 packaged logic gates like SN74AHC1G00 or SN74AHC1G08?
No - while all share the same SC-70-5 footprint, pin assignments differ. 74AHC1G125DCKTE4 uses pin 1 for OE, pin 2 for A, pin 4 for Y. In contrast, SN74AHC1G00 (dual-input NAND) assigns pins 1/2 to inputs and pin 3 to output. Swapping devices without board revision will result in nonfunctional logic behavior.
