Product details
Overview
74LVC1G125DBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single 3-state bus buffer gate used for signal isolation and controlled data routing on low-voltage digital buses. It features true non-inverting logic, 3.3V/5V supply compatibility (1.65–5.5V), ±24mA output drive at 3.3V, 3.7ns max propagation delay, and Ioff support for live insertion in partial-power-down systems - deployed in high-speed data acquisition and video infrastructure interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 datasheet, 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 pinout, 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 application, or 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-small SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, over-voltage tolerant inputs (up to 5.5V), balanced CMOS 3-state output behavior, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to 125°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 implements a single non-inverting buffer with active-low 3-state enable (OE). When OE is low, A passes directly to Y; when OE is high, Y enters high-impedance state. Its input structure supports TTL-level compatibility and over-voltage tolerance up to 5.5V independent of VCC.
It uses standard CMOS input stages with <4pF input capacitance and balanced push-pull outputs capable of sourcing/sinking ±24mA at 3.3V. Ioff circuitry ensures zero current flow at outputs during VCC = 0V, enabling hot-plug capability without back-drive risk.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - enables interoperability between 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains |
| tpd (max) | 3.7ns at 3.3V, CL = 15pF - supports >100MHz bus timing margins in compact layouts |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at 3.3V - sufficient to drive multiple LVC loads or moderate capacitive traces without external buffering |
| Ioff Leakage | ±10μA max at 5.5V - prevents unintended current paths during power sequencing or board hot-swap |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5V to 5.5V - allows safe interfacing with 5V signals even when VCC = 1.8V or 2.5V |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood, industrial motor control, and telecom infrastructure use |
| ICC (max) | 10μA - enables ultra-low static power in battery-backed or always-on monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9mm × 2.8mm body, 0.95mm height, surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low output enable | Drives Y into high-Z when high; must be pulled up to VCC during power-up to prevent bus contention |
| 2 - A | Data input | Non-inverting input accepting 0–5.5V; compatible with TTL and LVTTL logic thresholds |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | True replica of A when OE = low; high-impedance when OE = high - enables shared-bus arbitration |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage | Power rail for logic and output stages; requires local 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-voltage tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5V regardless of VCC setting - eliminates level-shifters when interfacing legacy 5V peripherals |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks current flow at all I/O pins when VCC = 0V - enables safe hot-plug in modular backplane systems |
| Ultra-small DBV package | 0.64mm² footprint (SOT-23-5) - saves PCB area in space-constrained SSD controllers and portable video encoders |
| Balanced CMOS 3-state outputs | Sinks and sources equal current (±24mA @ 3.3V) - ensures symmetrical rise/fall times and reduced EMI on bidirectional buses |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from –40°C to +125°C - supports deployment in radar front-ends and motor drive gate driver boards |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DBVT | Same silicon, tape-and-reel packaging (2500 pcs/reel vs. 3000 pcs/reel); identical electrical specs and pinout | No functional difference - used interchangeably in production where reel size impacts pick-and-place efficiency | Select 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 for standard volume orders; DBVT preferred for high-throughput SMT lines requiring larger reels |
| 74AUP1G125GW,518 | Lower ICC (0.9μA typ), slower tpd (6.4ns @ 3.0V), smaller XSON-5 (1.2×1.0mm) package; operates down to 0.8V VCC | Better suited for ultra-low-power sensor nodes than high-speed data paths; not 5V-tolerant | Choose 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 when 5V input tolerance, <4ns speed, or industrial temp range is required; AUP variant only for sub-1μA battery-critical apps |
Compared with SN74LVC1G125DBVT, 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 offers identical performance but optimized reel quantity for mid-volume builds; versus 74AUP1G125GW, it trades ultra-low ICC for guaranteed 5V-tolerant operation and 3.7ns speed - making it the preferred choice for robust industrial and video infrastructure designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for 74LVC1G125DBVRG4?
The 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 supports an absolute maximum input voltage of –0.5V to 5.5V on all pins, including A and OE, regardless of VCC level. This over-voltage tolerance enables direct interfacing with 5V signals even when powered from 1.8V or 2.5V supplies - a key advantage over standard LVC devices without this feature.
Does 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 support hot-plug or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 includes Ioff circuitry that disables all I/Os when VCC = 0V, limiting leakage to ±10μA. This allows safe insertion into live backplanes or modular systems where power rails may be sequenced independently - a requirement verified per JESD78 Class II latch-up testing.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for the OE pin of 74LVC1G125DBVRG4?
A 10kΩ pull-up resistor from OE to VCC is recommended to ensure reliable high-impedance state during power-up. This value balances fast enable timing against static current draw and is validated across –40°C to 125°C operation, per TI application guidance in SCES223U Section 3 and 7.1.
Can 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 drive a 50pF load while meeting datasheet timing specs?
Yes - the 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 switching characteristics (Section 5.7–5.8) are specified with CL = 30pF and 50pF loads across –40°C to 125°C. At 3.3V VCC, tpd remains ≤4.7ns and tdis ≤5.2ns under 50pF, satisfying timing closure for most FPGA-to-peripheral interconnects.
Is 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 pin-compatible with other SOT-23-5 logic buffers?
Yes - the 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 uses the industry-standard SOT-23-5 pinout (OE-A-GND-Y-VCC), matching SN74LVC1G07, SN74LVC1G08, and other TI single-gate logic in DBV package. However, function differs: only 74LVC1G125DBVRG4 provides 3-state non-inverting buffer behavior with active-low OE.
