Product details
Overview
CD54HC125F from Texas Instruments is a high-speed CMOS quad buffer with independent three-state outputs and separate output enable inputs per channel, operating from 2V to 6V across -55°C to +125°C, delivering 20ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 4.5V, CL = 50pF) and ±25mA output drive for bus interface isolation in military-grade data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD54HC125F datasheet, CD54HC125F pinout, CD54HC125F application, or CD54HC125F equivalent, key selection criteria include its CERDIP package compatibility with harsh-environment PCB layouts, guaranteed three-state leakage ≤±5µA at -55°C to +125°C, and LSTTL fanout support of 10 loads - critical for legacy system upgrades requiring radiation-tolerant logic buffering.
Technical Context
The CD54HC125F implements four identical non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low output enable (nOE) control that places the corresponding output (nY) into high-impedance state when asserted HIGH. Its HC logic family ensures CMOS input compatibility (II ≤1µA) and high noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC at 5V).
Designed for military applications, it meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements with hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line package (CERDIP), rated for operation from -55°C to +125°C and featuring absolute maximum ratings including VCC up to 7V and junction temperature up to 150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HC (High-Speed CMOS), 2V–6V supply range - enables direct replacement of obsolete TTL in wide-input-voltage legacy systems |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for military-grade embedded control and avionics data buses |
| Propagation Delay | 25ns max (VCC = 4.5V, CL = 50pF, TA = -55°C to +125°C) - ensures deterministic timing in synchronous bus arbitration |
| Output Drive | ±25mA per output - supports direct connection to 10 LSTTL loads without external drivers |
| Three-State Leakage | ±5µA max (TA = -55°C to +125°C) - guarantees signal integrity during bus contention or hot-swap events |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 1.5V min (VCC = 2V), VIL = 0.5V max (VCC = 2V) - provides robust noise margin in electrically noisy platforms |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | CPD = 29pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = VCC² × fi × (CPD + CL)) for thermal design |
Pinout & Package
CD54HC125F uses a 14-lead Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CERDIP), hermetically sealed per MIL-STD-1835 GDIP1-T14, with 0.3-inch body width, 0.100-inch lead pitch, and maximum height of 5.08 mm - optimized for high-reliability board-level mounting in vibration-prone environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 5, 9, 13, 12 | Input (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A) / Output Enable (1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE) | Dedicated per-channel control: nA feeds buffer input; nOE HIGH forces nY into high-Z - enables independent bus segment gating |
| 3, 6, 11, 2 | Output (1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y) | Non-inverting buffered outputs with three-state capability - allows bidirectional bus sharing without external direction control |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages - requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce in fast-switching operation |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply (2V–6V) powering internal logic and output drivers - decoupling capacitor mandatory within 1 cm due to CERDIP's higher inductance vs. plastic packages |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent three-state control per buffer | Enables selective bus isolation without disabling entire device - critical for fault-tolerant memory-mapped I/O architectures |
| Wide supply voltage range (2V–6V) | Supports interoperability across mixed-voltage subsystems (e.g., 3.3V logic interfacing to 5V backplane) without level shifters |
| High noise immunity (30% VCC) | Ensures reliable operation in EMI-heavy environments like radar front-ends or motor drive controllers |
| Military temperature range (-55°C to +125°C) | Validated performance across full operational envelope - eliminates derating calculations for aerospace launch or desert-deployed systems |
| Low quiescent current (80µA max) | Reduces standby power in battery-backed instrumentation - extends mission duration without compromising speed |
Applications
| Avionics Data Bus Interface | Tactical Radio Baseband Processing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad three-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD54HCT125F3A | LSTTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2V min, VIL = 0.8V max); 4.5V–5.5V only supply range | Required where interfacing directly to legacy 5V TTL logic without level translation | Select when system uses strict 5V LSTTL signaling and cannot tolerate HC-family input thresholds |
| CD74HC125M | Same HC logic, but SOIC-14 package; commercial/military temp (-55°C to +125°C), RoHS-compliant | Suitable for cost-sensitive or volume production where hermetic sealing is not mandated | Choose for non-military industrial designs needing same electrical specs with surface-mount assembly efficiency |
Compared with CD54HC125F, CD54HCT125F3A offers tighter input compatibility with legacy TTL but sacrifices supply flexibility, while CD74HC125M retains identical logic behavior in a smaller, non-hermetic package - making CD54HC125F the sole choice for applications demanding both wide-VCC operation and CERDIP reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CD54HC125F?
The CD54HC125F has an absolute maximum DC supply voltage (VCC) rating of 7V, though its functional operating range is specified from 2V to 6V. Exceeding 7V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. The CD54HC125F must be operated within 2V–6V for guaranteed logic behavior, timing, and output drive compliance across -55°C to +125°C.
Does CD54HC125F support 3.3V logic systems?
Yes, CD54HC125F fully supports 3.3V operation: its HC logic family is rated for VCC = 2V to 6V, and input thresholds scale with supply (e.g., VIH ≥1.5V at VCC = 3.3V). At 3.3V, CD54HC125F delivers 22ns typical propagation delay and maintains ±25mA output drive - making it ideal for bridging 3.3V FPGAs to 5V peripherals without level shifters.
What is the pinout configuration of CD54HC125F?
The CD54HC125F uses a standard 14-pin CERDIP package with pin 1 as 1OE, pin 2 as 1Y, pin 3 as 1A, pin 4 as 2OE, pin 5 as 2A, pin 6 as 2Y, pin 7 as GND, pin 8–14 as 3Y, 3OE, 3A, 4Y, 4OE, 4A, VCC respectively. This layout matches JEDEC MS-012 and MIL-STD-1835 GDIP1-T14, ensuring drop-in compatibility with legacy military PCB footprints.
How does CD54HC125F differ from CD74HC125E?
CD54HC125F and CD74HC125E share identical logic functionality and electrical specs, but CD54HC125F uses a hermetically sealed CERDIP package qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class B for military use, whereas CD74HC125E uses a plastic PDIP package rated for commercial/military temperature range but not hermetic. CD54HC125F is required for applications demanding moisture resistance and enhanced reliability in harsh environments.
Is CD54HC125F compatible with LSTTL input levels?
No, CD54HC125F is not directly compatible with standard LSTTL input levels: its HC inputs require VIH ≥1.5V at VCC = 2V (scaling to ~3.15V at 4.5V), while LSTTL outputs typically drive only 2.4V high. For LSTTL interface, use CD54HCT125F3A instead - its HCT variant guarantees VIH ≥2.0V and VIL ≤0.8V at 4.5V–5.5V, matching LSTTL output specs directly.
