Product details
Overview
74LVC1G125GXH from Nexperia is a single 3-state bus buffer/line driver with Schmitt-trigger inputs, designed for level translation between 1.65 V and 5.5 V logic domains. It supports mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V MCU interfacing to 5 V peripherals), delivers ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, features IOFF partial power-down protection, and operates across –40 °C to +125 °C.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC1G125GXH datasheet, 74LVC1G125GXH pinout, 74LVC1G125GXH application, or 74LVC1G125GXH equivalent, this device is selected for low-power, space-constrained bidirectional signal buffering in industrial I/O expanders, sensor interface subassemblies, and FPGA configuration buses where voltage domain bridging and high noise immunity are required.
Technical Context
This device implements a non-inverting buffer with active-low 3-state enable (OE), enabling precise control of signal flow on shared buses. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs accept slow-rising signals (Δt/ΔV down to 10 ns/V) and tolerate input overvoltage up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC.
The IOFF circuit ensures outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current during partial power-down - critical for hot-swap and power-gated subsystems. All static and dynamic parameters are fully characterized from –40 °C to +125 °C under JEDEC-compliant supply conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without external level shifters. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive 15 pF loads with <4.5 ns propagation delay, supporting moderate-speed bus loading. |
| Propagation Delay (A→Y) | 0.5 ns (min) to 4.5 ns (max) at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - ensures timing predictability in 50 MHz–100 MHz digital control paths. |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ±2 μA max at VCC = 0 V - prevents >1 μA backfeed into powered-down rails, satisfying IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD robustness requirements. |
| Input Threshold Hysteresis | Typical 0.3 V - provides ≥200 mV noise margin against ground bounce and crosstalk in noisy industrial PCB environments. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - exceeds JEDEC JS-001/JS-002 Class 2/C3, reducing need for external TVS protection in board-level designs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, motor drive controllers, and outdoor industrial gateways. |
Pinout & Package
X2SON5 package (SOT1226-3): plastic thermal-enhanced extremely thin small outline, no leads, 5 terminals, body size 0.8 × 0.8 × 0.32 mm, side-wettable flanks not present (distinguishes it from GZ variant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Drives Y high-impedance when LOW; must be pulled HIGH via 10 kΩ resistor if unused to prevent floating bus states. |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 1.65–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor (100 nF X7R) required within 2 mm for stable switching performance. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane essential to minimize VCC/GND bounce during 24 mA transitions. |
| 4 (Y) | 3-state buffered output | Non-inverting output with ±24 mA drive; compatible with TTL, CMOS, and LVTTL loads up to 50 pF. |
| 5 (A) | Data input | Schmitt-trigger input accepts 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC; immune to rise/fall times >10 ns/V in 3.0–5.5 V operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (1.65–5.5 V) | Eliminates need for dedicated level translators in multi-rail systems, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents destructive current flow when VCC is off but A or Y pins remain biased - mandatory for PCIe hot-plug and modular PLC backplanes. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enables reliable operation with slow-switching sensors (e.g., thermistors, mechanical switches) without external hysteresis circuitry. |
| 5-pin X2SON5 footprint | 0.64 mm² board area (0.8 × 0.8 mm) supports ultra-dense routing in wearables, IoT edge nodes, and compact motor drivers. |
| –40 °C to +125 °C qualification | Validated for continuous operation in automotive engine control units and industrial inverters without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DBVR | SC-70-5 package (SOT23-5); 1.65–5.5 V; ±24 mA; same logic function and IOFF. | Larger footprint (2.1 × 1.25 mm) and 2× higher thermal resistance vs. X2SON5 - less suitable for thermally constrained layouts. | Select when legacy SC-70 assembly infrastructure exists or when manual rework accessibility is prioritized over miniaturization. |
| 74LVC1G125GV | SC-74A package (SOT753); identical electrical specs; same -40 °C to +125 °C rating. | 3.1 × 1.7 mm body with gull-wing leads - better solder joint inspection but 3.5× larger area than GXH's 0.8 × 0.8 mm. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where automated optical inspection (AOI) of gull-wing leads is required. |

FAQ
Can 74LVC1G125GXH operate with VCC = 1.65 V while driving a 5 V input signal on pin A?
Yes. Pin A is overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V independent of VCC, allowing safe interfacing with 5 V signals even at minimum 1.65 V supply. The Schmitt-trigger input ensures clean logic recognition without external clamping, and VIH/VIL thresholds scale correctly per JEDEC JESD8-7.
What is the maximum capacitive load the Y output can drive while maintaining specified tPD?
The datasheet specifies tPD values with 30–50 pF loads depending on VCC. At VCC = 3.3 V, the 4.5 ns max tPD is guaranteed for CL ≤ 50 pF. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may violate setup/hold margins in high-speed interfaces like FPGA configuration clocks.
Does the IOFF feature protect against backfeed when only OE is pulled low while VCC remains powered?
No. IOFF activates only when VCC = 0 V. With VCC powered, pulling OE low places Y in high-impedance but does not disable internal input structures - backfeed protection requires full VCC removal. IOFF is intended for system-level partial power-down, not pin-level isolation.
Is the X2SON5 package (SOT1226-3) compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes. The SOT1226-3 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 and withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Its thermal-enhanced construction ensures uniform heating and reduces risk of tombstoning compared to smaller XSON variants.
