Product details
Overview
74LVT125PW,112 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V quad non-inverting 3-state buffer with bus-hold inputs and IOFF partial power-down protection. It provides +64 mA sink / −32 mA source drive, operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, tolerates 5.5 V inputs, and delivers sub-4 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V in TSSOP14 package. It serves as a level-translating bus interface in high-speed digital backplanes and FPGA I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT125PW,112 datasheet, 74LVT125PW,112 pinout, 74LVT125PW,112 application, or 74LVT125PW,112 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, real-world timing specs, bus-hold behavior, IOFF leakage data, and validated drop-in alternatives for industrial control and telecom board design.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each controlled by an active-low 3-state enable (nOE). Each input features integrated bus-hold circuitry that maintains logic state without external pull-ups, and the IOFF circuit disables outputs during power-down to block backflow current when VCC = 0 V.
It supports live insertion/extraction and direct TTL-level interfacing while maintaining overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V on all inputs. Propagation delays are specified down to 1.0 ns typical (tPLH/tPHL) and enable/disable times (tPZH/tPLZ) are under 3.7 ns typical at 3.3 V, enabling use in 100+ MHz bus systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - ensures compatibility with 3.3 V LVTTL and mixed-voltage FPGA I/O banks |
| Output Drive | +64 mA sink / −32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >10 pF per stub) without signal degradation |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - enables safe interfacing with 5 V legacy peripherals without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay | 1.0–4.0 ns (typ/max at 3.3 V) - supports >100 MHz clocked bus operation with deterministic timing margins |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 to ±150 μA - actively retains logic state on floating inputs, eliminating need for 10 kΩ pull-up/down resistors |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and base station equipment |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) package: plastic thin shrink small outline, 14-lead, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| 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 un-driven |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (data output) | Non-inverting buffered output; capable of driving 5 V-tolerant buses with no current loading |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference (0 V); required for proper bus-hold and IOFF functionality |
| 14 | VCC | 3.3 V supply input; powers internal BiCMOS circuitry and enables IOFF protection when ramped down |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IOFF Partial Power-Down | Blocks backflow current when VCC = 0 V - enables safe hot-plug operation in modular backplanes |
| Integrated Bus-Hold | Eliminates external pull-up resistors on unused inputs - reduces BOM count and PCB area in dense FPGA I/O interfaces |
| 5.5 V Input Tolerance | Accepts 5 V logic signals directly - simplifies migration from 5 V legacy subsystems without level translators |
| Live Insertion Support | Withstands voltage transients during board insertion - meets IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity requirements for field-replaceable modules |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - ensures robustness in noisy industrial environments with ground bounce |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | FPGA I/O Expansion Module |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC125APW | Lower drive (+24 mA/−24 mA), 1.65–3.6 V supply, no bus-hold or IOFF | Suitable only for light-load, single-supply 3.3 V systems without hot-swap needs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs drive strength and robustness requirements |
| 74ALVC125PW | Same 14-pin TSSOP, +24 mA/−24 mA drive, 1.65–3.6 V, includes bus-hold but no IOFF | Acceptable for static 3.3 V boards where partial power-down is not required | Choose if bus-hold is needed but IOFF is unnecessary and lower power consumption is prioritized |

FAQ
Does 74LVT125PW,112 support hot-plug insertion?
Yes. Its IOFF circuitry disables outputs and limits leakage to ±100 μA when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging backflow current during live insertion or extraction. This feature is validated per JESD78 Class II Level B latch-up testing and supports compliant hot-swap implementation in modular backplanes.
Can 74LVT125PW,112 safely interface with 5 V logic inputs?
Yes. All inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling direct connection to 5 V TTL or CMOS outputs without external level-shifting components. This is confirmed by absolute maximum ratings (VI = −0.5 V to +7.0 V) and functional operation verified across the full −40 °C to +85 °C range.
What is the purpose of the bus-hold feature on the inputs?
The bus-hold circuit actively maintains the last valid logic state on each input (nA) when left floating, drawing ±75–150 μA to hold HIGH or LOW. This eliminates the need for external 10 kΩ pull-up/pull-down resistors, reducing component count and PCB space in high-density FPGA or microcontroller I/O expansion designs.
How does the 3-state enable (nOE) behave during power-up?
The device features power-up 3-state: outputs remain in high-impedance until VCC reaches a valid operating level (~2.0 V), preventing bus contention during power sequencing. This behavior is inherent to the BiCMOS architecture and is guaranteed across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature.
