Product details
Overview
74LVT125D,112 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V quad non-inverting 3-state buffer with bus-hold inputs and IOFF partial power-down protection, operating from 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply, delivering ±32 mA/±64 mA output drive, and specified for -40 °C to +85 °C industrial temperature range. It enables bidirectional bus interfacing in high-speed digital systems such as backplane data routing and memory address latching.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT125D,112 datasheet, 74LVT125D,112 pinout, 74LVT125D,112 application, or 74LVT125D,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tPZH ≤ 4.7 ns), overvoltage-tolerant 5.5 V inputs, bus-hold current (IBHL = 75–150 μA), and SO14 package compatibility with legacy 74-series footprints.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each controlled by an active-low 3-state enable input (nOE). Each channel features bus-hold circuitry that maintains logic state on unused inputs without external pull-ups, eliminating floating node risks.
The IOFF functionality disables outputs during power-down, blocking backflow current when VCC = 0 V while inputs/outputs remain at up to 4.5 V - critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down system architectures. Input tolerance to 5.5 V allows direct interfacing with 5 V TTL logic without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - ensures stable operation across noisy 3.3 V rails and accommodates ±5% regulation tolerance. |
| Input voltage range | 0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct connection to 5 V TTL buses without clamping diodes or external protection. |
| Output drive | +64 mA sink / -32 mA source - supports driving 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS/TTL loads simultaneously. |
| Propagation delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.0 ns @ 3.3 V - meets sub-5 ns timing budgets for 100+ MHz bus clocking in FPGA I/O expansion. |
| Bus-hold current | IBHL = 75–150 μA @ 0.8 V - actively holds unconnected inputs at valid LOW without external resistors, reducing BOM count. |
| IOFF leakage | ≤ ±100 μA @ VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during live insertion or staggered power sequencing. |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial control, telecom infrastructure, and embedded computing environments. |
Pinout & Package
74LVT125D,112 is supplied in SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MS-012 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | nOE (active LOW) | Independent 3-state enable per buffer; HIGH forces output into high-impedance OFF-state. |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | nA (data input) | Buffer input with bus-hold; retains last valid logic state when left unconnected. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (data output) | Non-inverting buffered output; supports 5 V tolerant operation in 3-state or driven modes. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be connected to system 0 V plane. |
| 14 | VCC | Primary supply rail; powers internal BiCMOS logic and output drivers; bypass capacitor required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad 3-state buffer architecture | Four independent channels with individual OE control enable flexible bus arbitration and multi-drop signal routing. |
| Bus-hold inputs | Eliminates need for 10 kΩ pull-up/down resistors on unused inputs, reducing PCB area and assembly cost. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents destructive back-current flow when VCC = 0 V but I/O pins remain biased - essential for hot-plug systems. |
| 5.5 V overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Allows seamless interface with legacy 5 V TTL logic without external level translators or voltage dividers. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Guaranteed safe operation during board insertion/removal under power due to IOFF and ESD robustness (HBM > 2000 V). |
Applications
| Backplane Data Bus Interface | FPGA I/O Expansion |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVT125PW,118 | TSSOP14 package (4.4 mm width, 0.65 mm pitch); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Better thermal performance and higher density layout; requires finer-pitch soldering process. | Select for space-constrained PCBs where SO14 footprint is unavailable or thermal dissipation is critical. |
| SN74LVC125APWR | Lower drive (±24 mA), 1.65–3.6 V supply, no bus-hold; TI part in TSSOP14. | Lacks bus-hold and IOFF; requires external pull resistors and cannot safely operate in partial power-down. | Choose only if cost is primary concern and system lacks hot-swap or floating-input requirements. |
Compared with 74LVT125D,112, the 74LVT125PW,118 offers identical functionality in a smaller footprint but demands tighter assembly tolerances, while SN74LVC125APWR sacrifices bus-hold and IOFF for lower cost and wider supply range - making it unsuitable for industrial hot-swap or floating-bus designs.

FAQ
Can 74LVT125D,112 safely interface with 5 V logic without level shifters?
Yes. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling direct connection to 5 V TTL outputs. The output high-level voltage (VOH ≥ 2.0 V @ 3.0 V VCC, -32 mA) meets TTL input thresholds, and its 3-state outputs are 5 V tolerant - eliminating need for external translators in mixed-voltage bus systems.
What is the purpose of the bus-hold feature, and how does it affect design?
The bus-hold circuit actively maintains the last valid logic state on unconnected inputs using ~100 μA feedback current, preventing floating nodes and associated noise susceptibility. This eliminates mandatory external pull-up/pull-down resistors, reducing component count, PCB area, and potential signal integrity issues from resistor parasitics.
How does IOFF protect the device during partial power-down?
When VCC = 0 V, the IOFF circuit disables all outputs and blocks current flow between powered I/O pins and the unpowered VCC rail. Measured IOFF leakage is ≤ ±100 μA even with pins biased to 4.5 V, preventing destructive back-current that could damage the IC or destabilize upstream supplies during hot-swap or staggered power sequencing.
Is 74LVT125D,112 pin-compatible with older 74-series buffers like 74LS125?
No. While functionally similar (quad 3-state non-inverting buffer), 74LVT125D,112 uses SO14 pinout matching industry-standard 74LVT/74LVTH families - not the legacy 74LS125 pinout. Pin 1 is 1OE (not 1A), and GND is pin 7 (not pin 8). Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision or adapter.
