Product details
Overview
74LVC2G125HK3-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual 3-state buffer gate in X2-DFN1410-8 package, operating from 1.65V to 5.5V supply, delivering ±24mA output drive at 3.3V with IOFF-enabled partial power-down protection and Schmitt-trigger inputs (100mV hysteresis at 3.0V). It enables voltage-level shifting and signal isolation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G125HK3-7 datasheet, 74LVC2G125HK3-7 pinout, 74LVC2G125HK3-7 application, or 74LVC2G125HK3-7 equivalent, this device supports low-voltage logic interfacing, bidirectional bus control, and power-gated subsystem isolation in battery-powered and mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
This dual non-inverting buffer implements independent 3-state control per channel via active-low OE pins, supporting simultaneous or staggered enable/disable sequencing. Its IOFF circuit blocks current flow when VCC = 0V, preventing backfeed from powered I/O lines into unpowered logic domains.
Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow-rising signals (≤20 ns/V at 1.65–2.7V), while propagation delay ranges from 0.5 ns (5V) to 1.0 ns (1.8V) and disable/enable times are under 12.4 ns across temperature and voltage. Input tolerance up to 5.5V allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - Enables direct interface between 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24mA at 3.3V - Sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or short PCB traces without external buffering. |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ±10μA max at 0V VCC - Ensures <100nW static power during system sleep, critical for battery longevity. |
| Input Hysteresis | 100mV typical at VCC = 3.0V - Rejects noise on slow-switching control lines (e.g., pushbuttons, reset nets). |
| Propagation Delay | 0.5 ns min / 4.6 ns max at 5V - Supports >200MHz toggle rates in non-critical timing paths. |
| ESD Robustness | 2kV HBM, >1kV CDM - Meets industrial-grade handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
| Power Dissipation (enabled) | 17pF typical Cpd at 10MHz - Predictable dynamic power for thermal budgeting in dense layouts. |
Pinout & Package
X2-DFN1410-8: 1.35mm × 1.0mm × 0.35mm body, 0.4mm lead pitch, bottom thermal pad, moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE1) | Active-low output enable for Buffer 1 | Drives 1Y high-impedance when logic low; ties directly to microcontroller GPIO or system enable rail. |
| 2 (1A) | Input for Buffer 1 | Accepts 0–5.5V signals; Schmitt-trigger input ensures clean switching even with noisy or slow edges. |
| 3 (1Y) | 3-state output for Buffer 1 | Provides buffered, non-inverted signal; high-Z state isolates downstream circuitry during power-down. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Must be connected to main system ground plane; shared with thermal pad for optimal heat dissipation. |
| 5 (2A) | Input for Buffer 2 | Independent of Buffer 1; supports asynchronous dual-channel control (e.g., separate data/control lanes). |
| 6 (2Y) | 3-state output for Buffer 2 | Electrically isolated from 1Y; enables bidirectional bus arbitration or redundant signal routing. |
| 7 (OE2) | Active-low output enable for Buffer 2 | Allows independent gating of each buffer; supports staggered wake-up or fault containment. |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive supply | Supplies both buffers; decoupling capacitor (100nF) required within 2mm of pin for stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range (1.65–5.5V) | Eliminates need for dedicated level translators in multi-rail systems like USB-C PD controllers or IoT sensor hubs. |
| IOFF partial power-down support | Prevents reverse current flow from powered I/O lines into unpowered subsystems-critical for hot-swap and battery-save modes. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enables reliable operation with mechanical switches, open-drain sensors, or long trace interconnects without external RC filtering. |
| ±24mA drive at 3.3V | Drives 10+ LVC loads or 50Ω transmission lines up to 5cm, reducing need for fanout buffers in compact designs. |
| Low dynamic power (17pF Cpd) | Reduces switching current by >60% vs. older LVT families, extending battery life in always-on wearable applications. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVC2G125HK3-7 can tolerate?
The device accepts input voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC level, enabling safe interfacing with 5V peripherals even when powered from 1.8V or 2.5V rails. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (VI = –0.5V to +6.5V) and Recommended Operating Conditions (VI = 0 to 5.5V), and verified in the Electrical Characteristics section where VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC.
Does the 74LVC2G125HK3-7 support hot insertion?
Yes-the IOFF circuit actively disables outputs and limits leakage to ±10μA when VCC = 0V, preventing damaging back-current from live backplane or connector lines into unpowered circuitry. This capability is explicitly validated in the datasheet's "IOFF Supports Partial-Power-Down Mode Operation" feature and Electrical Characteristics table (IOFF parameter).
How does the Schmitt-trigger input improve noise immunity?
With 100mV typical hysteresis at 3.0V VCC, the input threshold shifts by ±50mV between rising and falling edges-rejecting noise spikes ≤100mV and enabling reliable operation with slow-rising signals (e.g., RC-filtered reset lines or mechanical switch contacts). This is measured and specified in the Features section and Electrical Characteristics table (VIH/VIL values).
Can both buffers be enabled simultaneously without crosstalk?
Yes-electrical testing confirms no measurable crosstalk between channels: propagation delays (tpd), enable/disable times (ten/tdis), and output drive remain independent per channel across all VCC and temperature conditions. The Logic Diagram and Function Table confirm fully isolated signal paths, and the Package Characteristics table shows no shared internal routing that would induce coupling.
