Product details
Overview
74LV125DB,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a low-voltage Si-gate CMOS quad non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, pin- and function-compatible with 74HC125 and 74HCT125. It operates from 1.0 V to 5.5 V, supports TTL input levels at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, and delivers 14 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V with 15 pF load - used in bus interface isolation and level translation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV125DB,112 datasheet, 74LV125DB,112 pinout, 74LV125DB,112 application, or 74LV125DB,112 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SSOP14 package mapping, 3-state timing behavior, thermal derating data for +125 °C operation, and validated alternatives for bus buffering in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The 74LV125DB,112 implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with an active-low output enable (nOE) controlling high-impedance OFF-state transitions. Its CMOS architecture ensures rail-to-rail output swing and low static current (≤20 µA at 5.5 V), while dynamic characteristics are specified across −40 °C to +125 °C with linear power dissipation derating above 60 °C (5.5 mW/K).
Input thresholds meet TTL compatibility at 2.7–3.6 V supply, and output drive capability includes ±8 mA at 3.0 V (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V) and ±16 mA at 4.5 V (VOH ≥ 3.5 V, VOL ≤ 0.65 V). Ground bounce remains <0.8 V and VOH undershoot exceeds 2 V under 3.3 V operation - critical for signal integrity in dense PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 9 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >50 MHz bus toggle rates in buffered address/data paths. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or 10 LSTTL loads under industrial temperature range. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | 14 ns typical (ten/tdis) at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures clean bus arbitration with minimal contention window during direction switching. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, motor drives, and industrial PLC I/O stages. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, MM >200 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for board-level ESD robustness. |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW max at Tamb ≤ 60 °C, derates 5.5 mW/K above - defines thermal design margin for SSOP14 mounting on 2-layer FR4. |
Pinout & Package
74LV125DB,112 is housed in a plastic shrink small outline package (SSOP14) per SOT337-1, with 14 leads, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 5.3 mm body width, and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MO-150 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | nOE (active LOW) | Independent 3-state control per buffer; LOW enables output, HIGH forces high-Z - enables bidirectional bus multiplexing. |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | nA (input) | CMOS/TTL-compatible data input; VIH = 2.0 V min at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V - accepts legacy 5 V logic driving into 3.3 V domain. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (output) | Non-inverting buffered output; VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ −8 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V @ +8 mA - maintains noise margin in noisy industrial environments. |
| 7 | GND | Reference ground for all inputs/outputs; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during switching. |
| 14 | VCC | Single-supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin to suppress supply transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V operation - eliminates need for separate voltage regulators when interfacing heterogeneous logic families. |
| TTL Input Compatibility | Valid VIH/VIL thresholds at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V - allows direct connection to legacy 5 V microcontrollers without external translators. |
| Low Ground Bounce | <0.8 V typical at VCC = 3.3 V - reduces crosstalk risk in high-density routing and improves signal fidelity on shared return paths. |
| High-Temperature Rating | Specified up to +125 °C ambient - supports deployment in engine control units, power inverters, and enclosed industrial enclosures. |
| Controlled Output Transitions | 14 ns enable/disable time at 3.3 V - minimizes bus contention during hot-swap or multi-master arbitration sequences. |
Applications
| Industrial Bus Isolation | Automotive Sensor Interface |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC125PW,118 | Lower VCC min (1.65 V), higher speed (6.3 ns tpd at 3.3 V), but only rated to +85 °C. | Suitable for commercial-grade portable electronics; lacks extended temperature qualification for under-hood use. | Select when prioritizing speed over temperature range and operating exclusively below +85 °C. |
| SN74LV125ADBR | Same 1.0–5.5 V range and +125 °C rating, but SOIC-14 (SOT108-1) package - 3.9 mm body width vs. SSOP14's 5.3 mm. | Requires PCB layout change due to different footprint and lead pitch (1.27 mm vs. 0.65 mm); no electrical difference. | Choose for legacy SOIC assembly lines or where SSOP reflow profile compatibility is unavailable. |
Compared with 74LV125DB,112, the 74LVC125PW,118 trades extended temperature support for higher speed in consumer applications, while the SN74LV125ADBR offers identical electrical performance in a larger, more manufacturable SOIC package - enabling drop-in replacement only with board revision.
