Product details
Overview
74LVTH125D,118 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 supports –40 °C to +85 °C ambient range. Used in 3.3 V system bus interfacing where hot-swap capability and unused-input stabilization are required.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVTH125D,118 datasheet, 74LVTH125D,118 pinout, 74LVTH125D,118 application, or 74LVTH125D,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tPZH ≤ 4.7 ns), bus-hold current (IBHL = 75–150 μA), IOFF leakage (< ±100 μA at VCC = 0 V), 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 output enable (nOE). Each channel features bus-hold circuitry that maintains logic state on floating inputs without external pull-ups, and IOFF protection disables outputs during power-down to block backflow current.
It meets JEDEC JESD8C for 2.7–3.6 V operation, supports live insertion/extraction, and delivers TTL-compatible output levels while accepting 5.5 V-tolerant inputs-enabling mixed-voltage interfacing between 3.3 V logic and 5 V buses without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 3.3 V rails with ±0.3 V tolerance. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA sink / –32 mA source - Drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs directly. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows safe connection to 5 V buses without external clamping or translation. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.0 ns @ VCC = 3.3 V - Supports >200 MHz bus toggle rates in high-speed digital systems. |
| Bus-Hold Current | IBHL = 75–150 μA @ VI = 0.8 V - Holds unused inputs at valid LOW without pull-up resistors, reducing BOM count. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA @ VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current when powered down in partial-power systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for industrial control, networking, and embedded computing environments. |
Pinout & Package
74LVTH125D,118 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, and standard JEDEC MO-127 footprint.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | nOE (active LOW) | Independent 3-state enable per buffer; HIGH forces high-impedance output. |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | nA (data input) | Buffer input with bus-hold; holds last valid state if left unconnected. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (data output) | Non-inverting buffered output; drives up to 64 mA into capacitive or resistive loads. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; must be connected. |
| 14 | VCC | Primary supply rail (2.7–3.6 V); powers internal BiCMOS logic and output stages. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad 3-state buffer architecture | Four independent channels with individual OE control-enables flexible bus arbitration and multiplexing. |
| Bus-hold input circuitry | Eliminates need for 10 kΩ pull-up/pull-down resistors on unused inputs, reducing PCB area and assembly cost. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Outputs automatically disable and isolate when VCC = 0 V-prevents backfeed in hot-plug or multi-rail systems. |
| 5.5 V tolerant inputs | Interoperates with legacy 5 V logic without level shifters or voltage dividers-simplifies mixed-voltage board design. |
| TTL-compatible output drive | Directly interfaces with standard TTL loads (e.g., 74LS series) while operating at 3.3 V supply. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Network Switch Control Bus |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and driving address/data lines between FPGA-based controller and legacy 5 V peripheral modules on a modular I/O rack. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad buffer provides direction-controlled signal conditioning and voltage-level bridging between 3.3 V FPGA I/O and 5 V fieldbus peripherals. Use Value: Bus-hold prevents floating inputs during module hot-swap; IOFF blocks back-current when a slot is powered down mid-operation. |
Use Scenario: Managing configuration and status signals across multiple ASICs and PHYs on a 10/100/1000BASE-T switch fabric card. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state buffering enables time-multiplexed sharing of common control lines (e.g., reset, interrupt, clock enable) among multiple devices. Use Value: Sub-4 ns propagation delay ensures setup/hold compliance at 100 MHz bus clocks; 64 mA drive handles 10+ ASIC inputs per line. |
| Medical Imaging Data Acquisition Module | Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Buffering parallel ADC output streams from analog front-end boards before routing to a central FPGA processing unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting buffer preserves signal integrity and timing alignment across four simultaneous 12-bit data lanes. Use Value: Matched tPLH/tPHL (≤ 0.3 ns skew) minimizes inter-lane skew; low ICC (0.19 mA typical) reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures. |
Use Scenario: Driving high-capacitance test fixture cables and relay matrices in boundary-scan and functional test systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output driver stage providing robust edge rates and current delivery to overcome fixture parasitics. Use Value: +64 mA sink capability ensures clean logic transitions into 100 pF+ cable loads; ESD rating (>2000 V HBM) withstands repeated probe contact. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC125APWR | Lower drive (+24 mA / –24 mA); no bus-hold; IOFF not specified; 1.65–3.6 V supply. | Suitable for low-power, low-noise 3.3 V-only systems but requires external pull-ups and lacks hot-swap safety. | Select when BOM cost is critical and bus-hold/IOFF are unnecessary. |
| 74ALVC125PW,118 | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 2.8 ns); same drive and bus-hold; identical SO14 package; –40 °C to +125 °C rating. | Supports extended temperature automotive or harsh-environment use but has higher ICC (0.3 mA typical). | Select when faster timing or wider temperature range is mandatory and power budget allows. |
Compared with SN74LVC125APWR, 74LVTH125D,118 offers superior drive strength and built-in bus-hold, eliminating external components; versus 74ALVC125PW,118, it trades 1.2 ns speed for lower static current and lower cost in industrial-temperature applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVTH125D,118 can tolerate?
The device accepts input voltages up to +5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling direct connection to 5 V logic without level-shifting components. This overvoltage tolerance is guaranteed per datasheet Table 4 and applies to all data and enable inputs under normal operating conditions.
Does the 74LVTH125D,118 require external pull-up resistors on unused inputs?
No. Its integrated bus-hold circuitry actively maintains the last valid logic state on unconnected inputs, drawing only 75–150 μA at VI = 0.8 V. This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing component count and layout complexity.
How does the IOFF feature protect the device during partial power-down?
When VCC drops to 0 V, the IOFF circuitry disables all outputs and limits leakage current to ±100 μA-even if inputs or outputs remain at 4.5 V. This prevents destructive back-current flow through powered-down sections of a multi-rail system during hot-swap or staged power sequencing.
Can the 74LVTH125D,118 drive standard TTL loads?
Yes. With –32 mA source and +64 mA sink capability, it meets or exceeds standard TTL input current requirements (IIH ≤ 40 μA, IIL ≤ 1.6 mA). Its VOH ≥ 2.0 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V at full drive ensure reliable HIGH/LOW recognition by 74LS and 74ALS families.
