Product details
Overview
74HC125D-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified quad buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, controlled by active-low output enable inputs (1OE–4OE). It operates across 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivers propagation delay as low as 9 ns at VCC = 6.0 V, and supports ambient temperatures up to +125 °C. It is used in automotive body control modules for bidirectional bus isolation and signal buffering between microcontrollers and peripheral drivers.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC125D-Q100 datasheet, 74HC125D-Q100 pinout, 74HC125D-Q100 application, or 74HC125D-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (enable/disable times ≤32 ns), CMOS input compatibility, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and SO14 package thermal derating behavior above 100 °C.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low 3-state enable control. Each buffer features clamp diodes on inputs, enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
It adheres to JEDEC JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) standards, supports both CMOS-level inputs (74HC variant) and TTL-level inputs (74HCT variant), and exhibits latch-up immunity >100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Propagation delay | 9 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures tight timing margins in high-speed bus buffering |
| Enable/disable time | 12 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - guarantees fast bus turnaround in shared-data applications |
| Output drive | ±7.8 mA at VCC = 6.0 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads and standard CMOS/TTL fan-out |
| Input leakage | ±0.1 μA (max) at VCC = 6.0 V - minimizes standby current impact in always-on automotive subsystems |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and powertrain control unit environments |
| AEC-Q100 grade | Grade 1 - certified for automotive applications requiring full temperature range operation |
Pinout & Package
74HC125D-Q100 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, with gull-wing leads and pin 1 index marker.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output enable inputs - assert LOW to enable corresponding buffer output; HIGH forces high-impedance state |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A | Buffer data inputs - accept CMOS-level signals; internal clamp diodes allow overvoltage tolerance with series resistors |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Buffer data outputs - non-inverting, 3-state, capable of sourcing/sinking ±7.8 mA at VCC = 6.0 V |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into 3-state transitions |
| 14 | VCC | Supply voltage input - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 10 mm for stable switching performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from −40 °C to +125 °C, including HTOL, TC, and ESD stress testing per AEC requirements |
| Wide VCC range (2.0–6.0 V) | Eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in mixed-supply systems; compatible with legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V MCUs |
| Input clamp diodes | Enables robust interfacing to external sensors or actuators operating at voltages beyond VCC, when used with current-limiting resistors |
| Low dynamic power (CPD = 22 pF) | Reduces switching power dissipation in high-frequency bus applications; enables <1 mW per buffer at 1 MHz, 5 V |
| High noise immunity | CMOS input thresholds (VIH ≥ 3.15 V @ VCC = 4.5 V) provide >1.5 V noise margin against automotive electrical transients |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Infotainment System I/O Expansion |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating CAN/LIN transceiver data lines from MCU GPIO during sleep mode to prevent backfeeding and leakage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad 3-state buffer acting as bidirectional bus gate; enables/disables signal paths synchronously with MCU wake/sleep states.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT125D-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), identical SO14 package and timing | Better suited for legacy 5 V systems with mixed TTL/CMOS logic; less noise margin than HC version in 3.3 V domains | Select when interfacing directly to older 5 V microcontrollers or discrete transistor logic without level translation |
| SN74LVC125APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), smaller TSSOP14 package, faster tpd (5.5 ns @ 3.3 V) | Designed for low-voltage portable and ADAS domain controllers; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Choose only for non-automotive, 3.3 V-only designs where footprint and speed outweigh qualification requirements |
Compared with 74HC125D-Q100, the 74HCT125D-Q100 offers better compatibility with legacy 5 V TTL logic but reduced noise immunity in mixed-voltage systems, while the SN74LVC125APWR provides superior speed and density at the cost of automotive qualification and wider supply flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended operating frequency for 74HC125D-Q100?
The device does not specify a maximum clock frequency, as it is a combinational buffer-not a clocked device-but its propagation delay (9 ns typ at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF) supports reliable operation up to ~35 MHz for single-edge signaling in bus applications. System-level timing depends on load capacitance, PCB routing, and supply decoupling.
Can 74HC125D-Q100 drive a 100 pF load reliably?
Yes-while characterized at 50 pF, the output stage can drive up to 100 pF with measurable timing degradation: tpd increases to ~22 ns and tt extends to ~18 ns at VCC = 6.0 V. Maintain solid ground return and local 100 nF decoupling to preserve signal integrity and avoid ringing.
Is there a pin-compatible replacement with higher drive strength?
No pin-compatible Nexperia part exceeds ±7.8 mA drive at VCC = 6.0 V in SO14. The 74HC541D-Q100 (octal buffer) offers same drive but double channel count in same package; for higher current, consider dual-channel 74HC244D-Q100 with ±15 mA drive-but requires PCB redesign due to different pinout.
Does the 74HC125D-Q100 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on OE pins?
No-OE inputs have no internal pull resistors, but their CMOS structure draws negligible leakage current (±0.1 μA). External pull-downs (e.g., 10 kΩ to GND) are recommended in systems where OE state must default to disabled (HIGH) during power-up or reset to prevent bus contention before MCU initialization.
