Product details
Overview
74AHCT1G125GW,125 from Nexperia is a single 3-state bus buffer/line driver with TTL-compatible input thresholds, 2.0–5.5 V supply range, overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), and operation from –40 °C to +125 °C. It functions as a level-translating output-enable-controlled signal pass-through in mixed-voltage digital interfaces such as microcontroller GPIO expansion or sensor data bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT1G125GW,125 datasheet, 74AHCT1G125GW,125 pinout, 74AHCT1G125GW,125 application, or 74AHCT1G125GW,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TTL-level input compatibility, 5-pin TSSOP5 package footprint, sub-7 ns propagation delay at 5 V/15 pF, and guaranteed high-impedance output state for bus contention avoidance.
Technical Context
This device implements a single non-inverting buffer with active-low 3-state output control (OE). Its TTL-level input threshold (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensures direct compatibility with legacy 5 V logic families while operating from modern 3.3 V supplies. The overvoltage-tolerant inputs enable safe interfacing between higher-voltage peripherals and lower-voltage controllers without external level-shifting circuitry.
Propagation delay (tpd ≤ 5.5 ns), enable time (ten ≤ 7.0 ns), and disable time (tdis ≤ 9.5 ns) are specified across –40 °C to +125 °C at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and CL = 15 pF. Output drive strength is ±8 mA at VOH/VOL specifications, with symmetrical impedance supporting clean signal integrity on shared buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures robust operation in standard 5 V systems with ±5% tolerance. |
| Input threshold (VIH/VIL) | 2.0 V / 0.8 V - Matches TTL logic levels for seamless integration with 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller I/Os. |
| Propagation delay | ≤5.5 ns @ VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - Supports >100 MHz bus toggle rates in low-latency control paths. |
| Output drive | ±8 mA - Sufficient to drive 10–15 cm PCB traces or 2–3 standard CMOS/TTL loads without buffering. |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLC I/O, and high-reliability embedded systems. |
| ESD protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Reduces need for external TVS diodes in board-level ESD design. |
| Power dissipation | ICC ≤ 40 μA @ VCC = 5.5 V - Enables ultra-low static power in always-on monitoring circuits. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP5 (SOT353-1) plastic thin shrink small outline package: 5-lead, 1.25 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.3 mm height, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Drives Y to high-impedance when HIGH; enables buffer pass-through when LOW - critical for bus arbitration. |
| 2 (A) | Data input | Non-inverting input accepting TTL-level signals up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - enables mixed-voltage translation. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output current - must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 4 (Y) | 3-state output | Buffered, non-inverted copy of A when OE = LOW; high-Z when OE = HIGH - prevents bus conflicts in multi-driver systems. |
| 5 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Primary power rail (4.5–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm for stable switching performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at 5 V supply - eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with legacy logic. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands up to 5.5 V input regardless of VCC (2.0–5.5 V) - allows safe connection to 5 V sensors or switches while powered from 3.3 V. |
| Symmetrical output impedance | Matched pull-up/pull-down resistance - ensures consistent rise/fall times and reduces signal distortion on transmission lines. |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin >0.8 V at VCC = 5 V - suppresses false triggering from EMI or crosstalk in dense PCB layouts. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in engine control units, motor drives, and outdoor industrial gateways. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Microcontroller GPIO Expansion |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating analog-to-digital converter (ADC) data lines from noisy PLC backplane signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state buffer isolates ADC output during multiplexer channel switching to prevent bus contention. Use Value: Prevents data corruption by ensuring only one device drives the shared data bus at any time, leveraging OE control synchronized with mux select timing. |
Use Scenario: Extending limited GPIO count of an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU to drive multiple LED indicators and pushbutton inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus buffer translates 3.3 V MCU logic to 5 V indicator LEDs and accepts 5 V button returns. Use Value: Overvoltage-tolerant inputs accept 5 V switch signals directly; 3-state outputs allow shared control of multiple LED banks via common OE line. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Legacy System Integration |
|
Use Scenario: Interfacing a 5 V CAN transceiver's TX/RX status pins with a 3.3 V microcontroller in a door module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating buffer conveys transceiver fault flags and mode status without external resistors or voltage dividers. Use Value: Eliminates BOM cost and layout area of discrete level shifters while maintaining full automotive temperature qualification (–40 °C to +125 °C). |
Use Scenario: Retrofitting a 74LS244-based industrial controller with modern low-power logic while retaining existing 5 V backplane wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pin-compatible replacement for obsolete TTL buffers, providing identical logic function with reduced ICC and improved noise margins. Use Value: Maintains system timing and signal integrity while cutting standby power by >95% versus original bipolar TTL parts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHC1G125GW,125 | CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.85 V @ VCC = 5.5 V); same package, speed, and temp range. | Requires ≥3.85 V input to register HIGH - unsuitable for direct interface with 3.3 V logic or open-collector 5 V sources. | Select when interfacing exclusively with 5 V CMOS or when higher noise immunity at VIH is required. |
| SN74LVC1G125DBVR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); LVTTL inputs; slightly higher tpd (max 7.5 ns @ 3.3 V). | Supports 1.8 V and 2.5 V logic domains; not qualified to +125 °C - limited to commercial/industrial ambient use. | Select for multi-supply systems needing 1.8 V compatibility or where extended temperature is not required. |
Compared with 74AHC1G125GW,125 and SN74LVC1G125DBVR, the 74AHCT1G125GW,125 uniquely balances TTL-level interoperability, automotive-grade temperature support, and pin-for-pin compatibility with legacy 74LS designs - making it optimal for retrofit and mixed-voltage control applications where reliability across extreme conditions is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74AHCT1G125GW,125 can tolerate on its A and OE pins?
The 74AHCT1G125GW,125 features overvoltage-tolerant inputs rated to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level (2.0–5.5 V). This allows direct connection of 5 V signals - such as from legacy microcontrollers or sensors - even when the device is powered from 3.3 V, eliminating external clamping components.
Can the 74AHCT1G125GW,125 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?
Yes - although designed for TTL-level compatibility at 5 V, the 74AHCT1G125GW,125 is fully specified from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, it falls outside recommended operating conditions; use the 74AHC1G125GW,125 variant instead, which supports 2.0–5.5 V with CMOS input thresholds.
Is the TSSOP5 (SOT353-1) package of this part compatible with reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - the 74AHCT1G125GW,125 in TSSOP5 package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C. Its moisture sensitivity level (MSL) is 1, meaning unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH when sealed per JEDEC standards.
How does the 3-state output behave during power-up or brown-out conditions?
The 74AHCT1G125GW,125 incorporates power-on reset circuitry that holds the output (Y) in high-impedance until VCC reaches ~1.5 V and stabilizes. This prevents undefined output states or bus contention during supply ramp-up or transient dips, enhancing system robustness in uncontrolled power environments.
