Product details
Overview
74AHC1G125DCKTG4 from Texas Instruments is a single 3-state bus buffer gate used for signal isolation and bidirectional bus control in low-power digital systems. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±8 mA output drive at 5 V, achieves 6 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, and consumes ≤10 µA ICC - enabling use in portable projectors, medical patient monitors, and industrial motor control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 datasheet, 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 pinout, 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 application, or 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC-70-5 package footprint, 3-state enable timing (tPZH/tPHZ), input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 implements a noninverting buffer with active-low 3-state output control: when OE is low, A is passed to Y; when OE is high, Y enters high-impedance state. Its CMOS AHC logic family ensures rail-to-rail output swing and TTL-compatible input thresholds across the full 2–5.5 V supply range.
It supports down-translation - inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - and features balanced rise/fall times (tPLH ≈ tPHL) with load-dependent propagation delays (e.g., 3.8–7 ns at 5 V, CL = 15 pF). Thermal resistance RθJA is 289.2°C/W in the SC-70 package, requiring attention to PCB copper area for thermal management in sustained 8 mA drive scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures timing compliance in sub-100 MHz digital control paths |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple 74AHC inputs (fan-out ≥20) |
| Quiescent Supply Current | ≤10 µA - supports battery-backed or always-on monitoring circuits with negligible standby drain |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals in mixed-supply systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and medical equipment |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±1500 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level robustness without external protection |
Pinout & Package
74AHC1G125DCKTG4 uses the SC-70-5 (DCK) package: 2.00 mm × 2.10 mm body, 0.6 mm max height, 0.65 mm pitch, and single-row 5-pin configuration. Pin 1 (OE) is marked by a dot or beveled edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low 3-state enable input | Pulling high disables Y (high-Z); pulling low enables true A→Y pass-through - requires pull-up to VCC during power-up for fail-safe isolation |
| 2 - A | Buffer input | CMOS-compatible input accepting 0–5.5 V; no internal termination - must be driven or tied to valid logic level to prevent floating |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output current; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | Drives high/low when OE = L; presents >10⁸ Ω impedance when OE = H - prevents bus contention in shared-data applications |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm of this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply voltage range | 2 V to 5.5 V operation eliminates need for separate 3.3 V/5 V rails in mixed-voltage designs |
| Input overvoltage tolerance | 5.5 V absolute max input rating enables safe connection to legacy 5 V buses while powered from 3.3 V |
| Low dynamic power | 14 pF typical power dissipation capacitance minimizes switching current in high-frequency clock distribution |
| Controlled edge rates | Δt/Δv = 20 ns/V at 5 V reduces EMI and overshoot on unterminated traces up to 10 cm |
| High-impedance fail-safe | OE-high forces Y into >10⁸ Ω state - prevents back-driving during power sequencing or hot-swap events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHC1G125DCKR | Same SC-70-5 package, identical electrical specs, active production status vs. obsolete DCKTG4 | Identical functional replacement; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (3000 vs. discontinued 250-unit reel) | Select DCKR for new designs requiring volume availability and TI's current standard packaging |
| 74LVC1G125GW,125 | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V), 3.7 ns max tPD at 3.3 V, ±24 mA drive - higher performance but less 5 V tolerant | Better suited for 3.3 V–only systems needing faster edges; not recommended where 5 V inputs are present | Choose only if design is strictly 3.3 V and requires <4 ns delay; verify input overvoltage capability is unnecessary |
Compared with 74AHC1G125DCKTG4, SN74AHC1G125DCKR offers identical functionality with assured long-term supply, while 74LVC1G125GW,125 trades 5 V input tolerance for speed and drive strength - making DCKR the preferred drop-in alternative for continuity, and LVC1G125 suitable only in 3.3 V-native systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pin on the 74AHC1G125DCKTG4?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on the 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 is an active-low control input that determines whether the output Y is enabled or placed in high-impedance state. When OE is low, the device passes the A input signal to Y; when OE is high, Y disconnects electrically from the bus. For safe power-up behavior, OE should be pulled high via a resistor to VCC.
Does the 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 support 5 V input signals when powered from 3.3 V?
Yes, the 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level - a feature called input overvoltage tolerance. This allows it to safely interface with 5 V logic while operating from a 3.3 V supply, eliminating external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems.
What is the maximum output current rating for the 74AHC1G125DCKTG4?
The 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 is rated for ±8 mA output current per pin at VCC = 5 V, with absolute maximum continuous output current of ±25 mA. Total device current (summed across VCC and GND pins) must not exceed ±50 mA to maintain reliability and thermal stability in the SC-70 package.
Is the 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 suitable for automotive applications?
The 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 itself is not automotive-qualified; however, its pin-compatible and functionally identical variant SN74AHC1G125-Q1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40°C to +125°C) for automotive use. For production automotive systems, SN74AHC1G125-Q1 must be selected instead of 74AHC1G125DCKTG4.
What package type does the 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The 74AHC1G125DCKTG4 uses the SC-70-5 (DCK) package: 2.00 mm × 2.10 mm body size, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 0.6 mm maximum height, and single-row 5-pin configuration. Pin 1 is identified by a beveled corner or dot marking, and the package is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish.
