Product details
Overview
74HCT125S14-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a quadruple 3-state buffer IC with independent active-low enable inputs, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing in 4.5V–5.5V logic systems. It provides four non-inverting buffers, each capable of sourcing/sinking 4mA at VCC = 4.5V, with propagation delay ≤38ns (–40°C to +125°C), TTL-compatible inputs, and CMOS power efficiency. Used in PC motherboard data buses and peripheral interface isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT125S14-13 datasheet, 74HCT125S14-13 pinout, 74HCT125S14-13 application, or 74HCT125S14-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include active-low 3-state control per channel, SO-14 package compatibility with legacy LSTTL footprints, guaranteed 4mA drive strength at 4.5V, Schmitt-trigger input noise immunity, and industrial temperature support up to +125°C.
Technical Context
The 74HCT125S14-13 implements four identical non-inverting buffer stages, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) control. All inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action for robust noise rejection, and outputs enter high-impedance state when OE = HIGH - enabling shared-bus arbitration without external pull-ups or direction control logic.
It operates strictly within 4.5V–5.5V supply range, exhibits TTL-level input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V), and maintains guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.4V and VOH ≥ 3.70V under 4mA load - ensuring reliable interfacing with both HCT and legacy LS-TTL logic families across full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - ensures compatibility with standard 5V logic rails and tolerance against rail droop in dense PCB layouts. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤38ns max (–40°C to +125°C) - supports reliable 20+ MHz bus operation with timing margin for trace skew and loading. |
| Output Drive | ±4mA at VCC = 4.5V - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or 20 HCT inputs without fanout limitation. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V - guarantees interoperability with TTL-output devices and noise margins >0.4V. |
| ESD Protection | 2kV HBM, 1kV CDM - exceeds JEDEC standards for handling safety in automated assembly and field service environments. |
| Power Dissipation | 24pF typical Cpd per gate - enables low dynamic power in high-frequency switching applications like address/data latching. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT125S14-13 is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (SO-14) package, 3.9mm wide, with 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low enable inputs - each controls one buffer's output state independently; tied HIGH disables output (Z). |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A | Buffer input terminals - accept TTL/CMOS logic levels; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity on slow-rising signals. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Non-inverting buffered outputs - drive downstream logic or bus lines; high-impedance when corresponding OE = HIGH. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during simultaneous output transitions. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - requires local 100nF ceramic decoupling near pin to suppress switching noise and ensure stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent 3-state control | Four separate OE pins allow per-channel bus arbitration - eliminates need for external gating logic in multi-master systems. |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Guaranteed VIH ≥ 2.0V and VIL ≤ 0.8V - enables direct connection to legacy 74LS/74ALS outputs without level-shifting. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis >0.3V - rejects noise on long traces or unterminated lines, critical for reliable operation in noisy industrial backplanes. |
| Low power CMOS core | ICC ≤ 40μA max at 6.0V - reduces quiescent current in always-on interface circuits, improving system-level power budgeting. |
| Industrial temp range | –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature - qualified for use in automotive engine-control modules and industrial PLC I/O cards. |
Applications
| PC Motherboard Data Bus Isolation | Printer Parallel Interface Buffering |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating CPU data bus from expansion slot peripherals to prevent signal contention during hot-plug events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional 3-state buffer providing controlled signal path enable/disable per lane using discrete OE control. Use Value: Enables safe insertion/removal of ISA/PCI cards without bus lockup; propagation delay <38ns ensures timing compliance with 8MHz ISA cycles. |

|
Use Scenario: Interfacing management MCU to multiple PHY register banks over shared I²C/SMBus lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Directionless bus buffer isolating MCU from capacitive loading of multiple PHY devices. Use Value: Prevents signal integrity degradation across 10+ cm traces; 24pF Cpd minimizes added capacitance on clock-sensitive control lines. |
Use Scenario: Routing IR remote command decoding signals to motor drivers, display controllers, and audio processors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal routing hub with per-function enable control to reduce standby power in subsystems. Use Value: Active-low OE allows individual subsystems to be powered down while maintaining bus integrity; ICC <40μA aids low-power sleep modes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quadruple 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT125DR (TI) | Identical logic function, same SO-14 footprint, but rated only to +85°C ambient (vs. +125°C for Diodes part). | Limited to commercial-grade systems; unsuitable for under-hood automotive or industrial enclosures. | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature requirement and TI supply chain preference applies. |
| 74HCT125PW,118 (Nexperia) | TSSOP-14 only; no SO-14 variant; slightly higher tPD (max 41ns vs. 38ns) at +125°C. | Requires PCB redesign for smaller footprint; marginal timing margin in high-speed bus designs. | Choose only when board space constraints mandate TSSOP and thermal derating is acceptable. |
Compared with SN74HCT125DR and 74HCT125PW,118, the 74HCT125S14-13 offers superior high-temperature performance and direct SO-14 drop-in compatibility - making it optimal for industrial control and automotive body electronics where reliability across extreme ambient conditions is mandatory.

FAQ
Can 74HCT125S14-13 operate reliably at 4.5V supply?
Yes. The device is fully specified from 4.5V to 5.5V, with all parameters - including VOH ≥ 3.70V at 4mA load and tPD ≤ 38ns - guaranteed across this range and the full –40°C to +125°C temperature span. No derating is required at minimum VCC.
What happens if an enable pin is left floating?
An unconnected OE pin defaults to HIGH due to internal weak pull-up behavior in HCT logic, forcing the corresponding output into high-impedance state. This may cause unintended bus release; Diodes recommends tying unused OE pins to GND or VCC per recommended operating conditions.
Is the SO-14 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes. The 74HCT125S14-13 is fully RoHS 2 compliant (2011/65/EU), with no intentionally added lead, and certified halogen- and antimony-free ("Green" per Diodes' definition: Br/Cl <900ppm each, Sb <1000ppm).
How does Schmitt-trigger input action benefit system design?
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide ~0.3V hysteresis, rejecting noise on slowly rising/falling signals - especially valuable on long PCB traces, unshielded cables, or in electrically noisy environments like motor drives or switching power supplies, eliminating need for external RC filtering.
