Product details
Overview
74HCT2G125DC-Q100 from Nexperia is a dual 3-state buffer/line driver with TTL-compatible inputs, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing and signal isolation in automotive control modules. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±6 mA output drive at VCC = 4.5 V, supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and features active-low enable inputs (1OE, 2OE) for independent channel control - used in engine control unit (ECU) diagnostic data routing.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT2G125DC-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT2G125DC-Q100 pinout, 74HCT2G125DC-Q100 application, or 74HCT2G125DC-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, VSSOP8 package footprint, 3-state timing (tpd ≤ 31 ns, ten ≤ 35 ns at VCC = 4.5 V), and automotive-grade ESD robustness (HBM > 2000 V).
Technical Context
This device implements two independent non-inverting buffers, each with an active-low 3-state output enable (1OE, 2OE). Input clamping diodes allow safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. The logic function follows standard truth table behavior: output equals input when OE = LOW; output is high-impedance when OE = HIGH.
It uses standard CMOS silicon process with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), enabling direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL logic without level translation. Static and dynamic characteristics are fully specified across -40 °C to +125 °C, supporting under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V automotive power rails and stable operation across battery voltage fluctuations. |
| Input Logic Type | TTL-level - accepts standard 5 V TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), eliminating need for external level shifters. |
| Output Drive | ±6.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads with <31 ns propagation delay, suitable for medium-speed bus buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for engine compartment and transmission control applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns (typ), 31 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable timing in CAN/LIN subsystem signal conditioning and sensor data multiplexing. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets automotive system-level ESD immunity requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW max at Tamb ≤ 99 °C (VSSOP8) - supports compact placement in thermally constrained ECUs with linear derating above 99 °C. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP8 plastic very thin shrink small outline package (SOT765-1); 8 leads; body width 2.3 mm; pin 1 indicator located below marking code in lower-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable inputs - independently disable each buffer's output to high-impedance state for bus sharing. |
| 2, 5 | 1A, 2A | Data inputs - accept TTL-level signals; internal clamp diodes permit overvoltage tolerance with series resistors. |
| 3, 6 | 1Y, 2Y | Non-inverting buffered outputs - deliver rail-to-rail CMOS output swing with ±6 mA drive capability. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for all inputs, outputs, and supply current; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply - powers both buffers and enable logic; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including temperature cycling, humidity, and lifetime reliability testing. |
| Input clamp diodes | Enable safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using external current-limiting resistors - simplifies mixed-voltage board design. |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin > 1.2 V at VCC = 4.5 V - suppresses coupling from ignition systems and motor drivers in vehicle harnesses. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during load dump or ground bounce events. |
| Low static current | ICC ≤ 20 μA max at VCC = 5.5 V - minimizes quiescent power in always-on vehicle modules such as body controllers. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Diagnostic Bus | Body Control Module (BCM) Sensor Multiplexer |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT2G125DP-Q100 | TSSOP8 package (3 mm body width vs. VSSOP8's 2.3 mm); identical electrical specs and AEC-Q100 qualification. | Requires larger PCB footprint; better thermal dissipation (Ptot derates at 96 °C vs. 99 °C for VSSOP8). | Select when board layout allows TSSOP8 and higher thermal margin is needed in high-power-density modules. |
| SN74LVC2G125QDCURQ1 | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); LVTTL inputs instead of TTL; 32 mA drive vs. 6 mA; not qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1. | Supports 1.8 V/3.3 V logic domains but lacks full automotive temperature and reliability validation. | Use only in non-safety-critical infotainment subsystems where extended voltage flexibility outweighs AEC-Q100 requirement. |
Compared with 74HCT2G125DP-Q100, the DC variant saves 0.7 mm board width but trades 3 °C earlier thermal derating; versus SN74LVC2G125QDCURQ1, it sacrifices voltage scalability and drive strength for guaranteed automotive qualification and deterministic TTL interface behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per channel for 74HCT2G125DC-Q100?
The device delivers ±6.0 mA output current per channel at VCC = 4.5 V, measured under standard test conditions (VOH/VOL defined at IO = ±6.0 mA). This drive strength supports 50 pF capacitive loads with sub-31 ns propagation delay and is validated across the full -40 °C to +125 °C operating range.
Does 74HCT2G125DC-Q100 support 3.3 V logic inputs?
No - this part has TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), optimized for 5 V systems. For 3.3 V logic interfacing, consider the 74LVC2G125 variant, though it lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification and automotive temperature range.
Can the 74HCT2G125DC-Q100 be used with supply voltages below 4.5 V?
No - the HCT version is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per JEDEC JESD7A. Using VCC < 4.5 V risks undefined input thresholds and degraded noise margins; for 2.0–6.0 V operation, select the 74HC2G125DC-Q100 variant instead.
How is pin 1 identified on the VSSOP8 package?
Pin 1 is marked by a small indentation or beveled corner on the package edge, located in the lower-left corner relative to the top-side marking code (T25 for this part). The pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise order: 1OE (pin 1), VCC (pin 2), 1A (pin 3), 2OE (pin 4), 2Y (pin 5), 1Y (pin 6), GND (pin 7), 2A (pin 8).
