Product details
Overview
74AHCT1G125GW,165 from Nexperia is a single 3-state bus buffer/line driver with TTL-compatible inputs and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. It delivers 8 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V/50 pF, supports –40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and features symmetrical output impedance for clean signal integrity in mixed-voltage digital interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT1G125GW,165 datasheet, 74AHCT1G125GW,165 pinout, 74AHCT1G125GW,165 application, or 74AHCT1G125GW,165 equivalent, this device serves as a level-translating unidirectional buffer in microcontroller I/O expansion, FPGA peripheral interfacing, and legacy TTL-to-5 V CMOS bus isolation where low-power, fast enable/disable control and input overvoltage tolerance are required.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT1G125GW,165 implements a non-inverting 3-state buffer with active-low output enable (OE), enabling precise bus contention control. Its TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensure compatibility with standard 5 V TTL logic families while maintaining CMOS power efficiency.
Input overvoltage tolerance to 5.5 V allows safe operation when interfacing with higher-voltage signals-even with VCC = 4.5 V-eliminating external clamping diodes in mixed-supply systems. The device uses silicon-gate CMOS technology with latch-up immunity exceeding 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures robust operation across industrial 5 V rails with ±5% tolerance. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 4.8 ns typ @ 5 V/50 pF - Enables high-speed data transfer in 25 MHz+ synchronous buses. |
| Enable time (ten) | 5.1 ns typ @ 5 V/50 pF - Supports rapid bus arbitration and dynamic peripheral activation. |
| Disable time (tdis) | 6.1 ns typ @ 5 V/50 pF - Minimizes bus turnaround dead time in bidirectional shared-data applications. |
| Output drive strength | ±8 mA @ VOH/VOL - Sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or 15 pF–50 pF PCB traces without signal degradation. |
| Input voltage tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - Permits direct connection to 5 V signals even when powered from 4.5 V. |

Pinout & Package
TSSOP5 (SOT353-1) package: plastic thin shrink small outline, 5-lead, 1.25 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low output enable | Drives Y to high-impedance state when HIGH; enables buffered pass-through of A→Y when LOW. |
| 2 - A | Data input | TTL-compatible input accepting 0–5.5 V; no external pull-up required for open-drain host interfaces. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuitry and output current; must be low-inductance for noise immunity. |
| 4 - Y | 3-state output | Non-inverting buffered output with symmetrical rise/fall times; drives bus or load only when OE = LOW. |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Primary 4.5–5.5 V supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) recommended within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-input compatibility | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - Directly interfaces legacy 5 V TTL outputs without level shifters. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands 5.5 V on A/OE pins regardless of VCC (down to 4.5 V) - Eliminates need for external protection in mixed-rail designs. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 11 pF - Limits switching power to <1 μW/MHz at 5 V, critical for battery-backed or thermally constrained modules. |
| High noise immunity | Typical HNM = 0.9 V, LNM = 0.7 V at VCC = 5 V - Resists EMI-induced glitches on shared PCB traces or noisy industrial environments. |
| Industrial temperature grade | Specified from –40 °C to +125 °C - Validated for continuous operation in engine control units, motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment. |
Applications
| Microcontroller I/O Expansion | FPGA Peripheral Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Expanding limited GPIO count of an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU to drive multiple SPI peripherals and status LEDs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional buffer isolating MCU pins from capacitive bus loading; OE controlled by GPIO to gate peripheral access. Use Value: Prevents signal integrity collapse on 30 cm ribbon cables carrying clock/data to remote sensors, leveraging 8 ns tpd and 5.1 ns ten for tight timing budgets. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating buffer with TTL input thresholds, enabling reliable recognition of FPGA's 3.3 V HIGH as valid logic HIGH. Use Value: Overvoltage-tolerant A/OE pins accept 5 V control signals directly, avoiding external resistive dividers and reducing BOM count by one component per channel. |
| Legacy System Bus Isolation | Automotive Body Control Module |
Use Scenario: Isolating aging 74LS138 decoder outputs from modern 5 V microcontroller inputs in retro-computing restoration projects. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state buffer acting as bidirectional-enabling switch; OE tied to system reset to force high-Z during boot.

Use Scenario: Driving LIN transceiver enable lines and sensor bias voltages in a vehicle door module exposed to under-hood thermal cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust interface buffer between MCU and external analog front-end ICs, surviving repeated thermal shock from –40 °C to +125 °C. Use Value: –40 °C to +125 °C qualification and 100 mA latch-up immunity prevent field failures due to ESD events during assembly or service. |
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,165 | CMOS-input version; VIH = 3.85 V min at VCC = 5.5 V - requires ≥3.85 V to guarantee HIGH recognition. | Suitable for pure CMOS systems (e.g., 3.3 V MCU driving 5 V bus); not compatible with 5 V TTL outputs. | Select when interfacing with 3.3 V logic families or when lowest ICC (<1 μA) is critical; avoid for TTL source connections. |
| SN74LVC1G125DBVR | 3.3 V only supply (1.65–5.5 V); VIH = 2.0 V min at VCC = 3.3 V; tpd = 3.7 ns @ 3.3 V/50 pF. | Better suited for 3.3 V domains with tighter timing; lacks –40 °C to +125 °C rating (only –40 °C to +125 °C for some variants, but not guaranteed). | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer electronics with 3.3 V rails; verify temperature spec per batch - not qualified for extended automotive use. |

FAQ
Can 74AHCT1G125GW,165 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74AHCT1G125GW,165 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation. At 3.3 V, its TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V) may not be met reliably, and output drive strength degrades significantly below 4.5 V. Use 74AHC1G125GW,165 or 74LVC1G125 for 3.3 V systems.
What is the maximum capacitive load this buffer can drive?
The device is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance with guaranteed timing (tpd ≤ 9.5 ns, ten ≤ 9.5 ns). Driving >50 pF increases propagation and enable/disable delays nonlinearly and may cause ringing; for >50 pF, add series termination or use a higher-drive buffer like 74AHCT244.
Is the OE pin 5.5 V tolerant when VCC = 4.5 V?
Yes. All inputs-including OE-are overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V independent of VCC level. This allows OE to be driven directly from a 5 V controller signal even when VCC is 4.5 V, eliminating level-shifter components in mixed-rail enable control paths.
Does this part have built-in ESD protection?
Yes. It meets HBM ESD rating >2000 V (ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 Class 2) and CDM rating >1000 V (JS-002 Class C3), providing robust handling protection during PCB assembly and field service without requiring external TVS diodes on input pins.
