Product details
Overview
74LVC1G125DCKTG4 from Texas Instruments is a single 3-state non-inverting bus buffer gate in SC-70 (DCK) package, supporting 1.65–5.5V VCC operation, 3.7ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, ±24mA output drive, and over-voltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5V. It serves as a level-translating isolation buffer in high-speed digital interface paths.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 datasheet, 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 pinout, 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 application, or 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state control timing (ten/tdis), Ioff-enabled live insertion support, thermal performance in SC-70 (RθJA = 371°C/W), and compatibility with mixed-voltage 3.3V/5V system buses.
Technical Context
The 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 implements a CMOS-based non-inverting buffer with active-low 3-state enable (OE), where Y = A when OE = L and Y = high-impedance when OE = H. Its input structure supports over-voltage tolerance (up to 5.5V) independent of VCC, enabling robust level translation from 3.3V logic to 5V-bus environments without external clamping.
It features balanced CMOS 3-state outputs capable of sourcing/sinking ±24mA at 3.3V, Ioff protection for partial power-down operation, and ESD ratings of 2000V HBM / 1000V CDM. The device operates across –40°C to 125°C and meets JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - supports dual-supply systems and 3.3V/5V interfacing without level shifters |
| tpd (max) | 3.7ns at VCC = 3.3V, CL = 15pF - enables reliable operation in sub-270MHz digital timing paths |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at VCC = 3.3V - sufficient to drive 50pF loads or multiple CMOS inputs with controlled edge rates |
| Ioff Current | ±10μA max at VI/VO = 5.5V - ensures safe live insertion and back-drive protection during partial power-down |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5V to 5.5V - allows direct connection to 5V signals while powered from 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V supplies |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| ICC (max) | 10μA - ultra-low static power ideal for battery-backed or always-on interface monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
74LVC1G125DCKTG4 uses the SC-70-5 (DCK) package: 2.0mm × 2.1mm body, 0.65mm pitch, 5-pin surface-mount outline with exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low 3-state enable input | Pulling low enables true buffer function (Y = A); high forces Y into high-Z - requires pull-up to VCC for power-up safety |
| 2 (A) | Data input | Non-inverting logic input accepting voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC; must be terminated to VCC/GND if unused |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output current; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 (Y) | 3-state buffered output | Drives high/low or floats based on OE state; supports bus sharing and signal isolation in multi-driver topologies |
| 5 (VCC) | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-voltage tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5V signals while VCC = 1.65–5.5V - eliminates need for external voltage translators in mixed-rail systems |
| Ioff partial power-down | Outputs disable safely when VCC = 0V - prevents back-driving and enables hot-plug capability in modular systems |
| Low propagation delay | 3.7ns max at 3.3V/15pF - supports timing-critical interfaces such as SPI clock distribution or FPGA I/O expansion |
| ESD robustness | 2000V HBM, 1000V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JS-001/JS-002 requirements for manufacturing and field reliability |
| Ultra-small footprint | SC-70-5 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm) - saves PCB area in space-constrained portable and telecom modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DBVR | SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9mm × 2.8mm body, RθJA = 357°C/W - larger footprint but better thermal dissipation | Better suited for high-ambient-temperature industrial motor drives where board space permits larger package | Select DBVR when thermal margin >20°C is required at 24mA continuous drive; DCKTG4 preferred for space-constrained designs |
| 74LVC1G125GW,125 | NXP SC-70-5 variant - identical electrical specs but different qualification (AEC-Q100 Grade 2 vs TI's industrial temp range) | Qualified for automotive infotainment head units requiring extended temperature and reliability validation | Choose NXP version only when AEC-Q100 compliance is mandatory; otherwise TI part offers identical functionality and broader distributor availability |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74LVC1G125DCKTG4?
The 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This specification is validated per JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up testing and thermal characterization in the SC-70 package (RθJA = 371°C/W). Operation beyond 125°C risks exceeding the absolute maximum junction temperature of 150°C and may cause permanent damage.
Does the 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 support level translation between 1.8V and 5V logic domains?
Yes, the 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 supports bidirectional level translation: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5V regardless of VCC, and its outputs swing rail-to-rail (0V to VCC). When powered from 1.8V, it accepts 5V inputs and outputs 0–1.8V signals; when powered from 5V, it outputs 0–5V while accepting 5V inputs - enabling seamless interface between disparate logic families.
How should the OE pin be handled during power-up to ensure high-impedance state?
To guarantee high-impedance output during power-up or brown-out, OE must be held high via a pull-up resistor to VCC. TI recommends a 10kΩ resistor, sized to sink ≤24mA while maintaining OE > VCC × 0.7 (VIH min at 5V). Direct connection to VCC is acceptable if the driving source has no contention risk; floating OE is strictly prohibited.
Can multiple 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 outputs be paralleled for higher drive strength?
Yes - two or more 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 outputs can be wired in parallel when driven by the same A input and synchronized OE control. This configuration increases effective drive strength to ±48mA (at 3.3V), provided trace lengths and loading are matched. Avoid paralleling outputs with independent OE or A signals, as contention will cause excessive current and potential damage.
Is the 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 74LVC1G125DCKTG4 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free per TI's packaging standards. The "G4" suffix explicitly denotes green (halogen-free) and lead-free construction, with matte tin lead finish and compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) - suitable for standard reflow processes without special handling.
