Product details
Overview
74AHCT2G125GD,125 from Nexperia is a dual 3-state buffer/line driver with TTL-compatible inputs and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, operating across 4.5–5.5 V supply range, delivering 8 mA output drive at 5 V, and specified for -40 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range - used in bidirectional bus interfacing and level translation between mixed-voltage logic domains.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT2G125GD,125 datasheet, 74AHCT2G125GD,125 pinout, 74AHCT2G125GD,125 application, or 74AHCT2G125GD,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL input threshold compatibility (VIH = 2.0 V min), 3-state enable timing (ten ≤ 8.5 ns @ 5 V/50 pF), symmetrical output impedance, and SOT996-2 (XSON8) package footprint for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The device implements two independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state output enable (nOE), enabling bidirectional data flow control on shared buses. Its TTL-level input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensure compatibility with legacy 5 V TTL outputs while maintaining CMOS power efficiency.
Propagation delay (tpd ≤ 5.5 ns @ 5 V/15 pF), enable time (ten ≤ 6.5 ns), and disable time (tdis ≤ 8.5 ns) are tightly matched between channels, supporting synchronous bus arbitration. Input overvoltage tolerance to 5.5 V allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals without external protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures robust operation under nominal 5 V rail with ±10% tolerance and immunity to brown-out in industrial systems. |
| Input Logic Type | TTL-compatible - VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V enables direct connection to standard 5 V TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA @ VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - sufficient to drive 15–50 pF loads across backplane or multi-drop bus traces with controlled edge rates. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 5.5 ns @ CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V - supports >100 MHz bus toggle rates in low-latency control paths. |
| 3-State Enable Time | ≤ 6.5 ns @ CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V - minimizes bus contention window during direction switching in half-duplex interfaces. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLC I/O, and extended-range embedded controllers. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for handling robustness in manufacturing and field service. |
Pinout & Package
XSON8 (SOT996-2) plastic extremely thin small outline no-lead package: 2.1 mm × 1.6 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, 0.45 mm max height, wettable flank terminals for automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder joint reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1OE | Active-low enable input for Buffer 1 - drives 1Y high-impedance when HIGH; must be pulled LOW to activate output. |
| 2 | 1A | Data input for Buffer 1 - accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels; overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V regardless of VCC. |
| 3 | 2Y | Inverted-position output for Buffer 2 - connects to bus or load; presents high-Z state when 2OE = HIGH. |
| 4 | GND | Digital ground reference - requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 5 | 2A | Data input for Buffer 2 - electrically identical to 1A; supports independent signal routing per channel. |
| 6 | 1Y | Output for Buffer 1 - non-inverting, 3-state; matches 2Y pin location symmetry for balanced PCB layout. |
| 7 | 2OE | Active-low enable input for Buffer 2 - fully independent of 1OE, enabling asymmetric bus control per channel. |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply rail - bypass capacitor (100 nF X7R) required within 3 mm of pin for stable high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstand up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (2.0–5.5 V), enabling safe interface with 5 V peripherals in 3.3 V systems. |
| Symmetrical output impedance | Matched pull-up/pull-down strength ensures clean rise/fall times and reduced signal distortion on transmission lines. |
| Balanced propagation delays | tpd matching < 0.5 ns between channels minimizes skew in parallel data paths and timing-critical control signals. |
| Wide temperature range | Full functionality from -40 °C to +125 °C eliminates derating needs in thermally demanding enclosures or engine bays. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 11 pF per buffer enables sub-1 mW dynamic power at 10 MHz, critical for battery-backed or fanless designs. |
Applications
| Industrial Bus Interface | Legacy System Integration |
|---|---|

FAQ
Is 74AHCT2G125GD,125 pin-compatible with 74AHC2G125GD,125?
Yes - both share identical XSON8 (SOT996-2) pinout and mechanical footprint. The key difference is input threshold: 74AHCT2G125GD,125 uses TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V), while 74AHC2G125GD,125 requires CMOS thresholds (VIH ≥ 3.85 V at VCC = 5.5 V). Electrical substitution is only valid if driving source meets the respective input voltage requirements.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The datasheet specifies timing performance up to 50 pF load capacitance at VCC = 5 V. For reliable signal integrity beyond 50 pF, add series termination (22–33 Ω) near the driver output and verify eye diagram compliance per JEDEC JESD68. Output current remains within ±8 mA limit up to 100 pF, but propagation delay increases linearly beyond 50 pF.
Does this part support partial power-down operation?
No - the device lacks Ioff (power-off protection) specification. When VCC = 0 V, inputs and outputs must be held at GND or ≤ 0.5 V to avoid parasitic powering or latch-up. For true partial power-down, consider 74LVC2G125 variants which specify Ioff ≤ 10 μA at VCC = 0 V.
Can 1OE and 2OE be tied together for single-enable operation?
Yes - connecting 1OE and 2OE simplifies control logic and maintains functional equivalence to a single dual-channel enable. No additional components are needed; however, ensure the combined enable net has adequate drive strength (e.g., from a 74LVC1G125) to meet tPLH/tPHL timing when switching both buffers simultaneously.
