Product details
Overview
MC74VHC1G125DT1G from onsemi is a single noninverting 3-state buffer IC designed for level-shifting and bus isolation in low-voltage digital systems. It operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, delivers 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, supports ±8 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and features over-voltage tolerant inputs/outputs up to 5.5 V-enabling safe interfacing between 3 V and 5 V logic domains in portable instrumentation and industrial control I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the MC74VHC1G125DT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its CMOS-level input thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V min @ VCC = 4.5 V), IOFF partial power-down protection, SC-74A package footprint compatibility, and guaranteed tri-state leakage < ±2.5 µA at 5.5 V.
Technical Context
The MC74VHC1G125DT1G implements a three-stage buffered architecture with a controlled 3-state output stage that ensures high noise immunity and stable signal integrity during bus contention. Its input structure tolerates voltages up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, allowing direct connection to 5 V signals while powered from 3 V or 2.5 V rails.
Output structures include protection against back-driving when VCC = 0 V and tolerate output voltages exceeding VCC-critical for hot-swap and battery-backup scenarios. The device meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements when ordered with −Q suffix, though MC74VHC1G125DT1G itself is standard industrial grade.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - enables operation across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without level translators. |
| tPD (typ) | 3.5 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >100 MHz data rates in short-bus applications. |
| IOFF Leakage | ≤ 10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents current backflow during partial power-down, protecting upstream drivers. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +5.5 V - allows safe 5 V signal injection into 3 V-powered systems without external clamping. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive 10–15 pF loads with <1 ns edge degradation in compact PCB layouts. |
| IOZ Leakage | ±2.5 µA max at VCC = 5.5 V - ensures minimal bus loading in high-impedance tri-state mode for multi-drop buses. |
| Operating Temp | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial environments including motor control enclosures and outdoor telemetry nodes. |
Pinout & Package
MC74VHC1G125DT1G is packaged in SC-74A (Case 318BQ), a 5-pin surface-mount package measuring 3.00 mm × 1.50 mm × 0.95 mm with 0.95 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled edge; orientation follows JEDEC standard for tape-and-reel delivery.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable input | Active-low control: drives Y high-impedance when high; enables noninverting pass-through when low. |
| 2 (A) | Data input | CMOS-level threshold input (VIH ≥ 3.15 V @ 4.5 V); accepts 5 V signals safely regardless of VCC. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal logic and output stages; must be low-inductance connection for noise immunity. |
| 4 (Y) | Buffered output | Noninverting 3-state output with ±8 mA drive; tri-states when OE = high, sinks/sources up to 25 mA absolute max. |
| 5 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Primary power rail (2.0–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 3 mm for stable AC performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-voltage tolerant I/O | Inputs and outputs withstand −0.5 V to +5.5 V regardless of VCC - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage systems. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Input and output leakage ≤10 µA when VCC = 0 V - prevents parasitic power paths during system sleep or hot-swap events. |
| Low propagation delay | 3.5 ns typical tPLH/tPHL at 5 V - enables timing-critical functions such as clock distribution gating and ADC sample strobe conditioning. |
| Small-footprint packaging | SC-74A (3.0 × 1.5 mm) - saves board space in space-constrained applications like wearable sensor nodes and modular PLC I/O cards. |
| Wide temperature range | −55 °C to +125 °C operation - supports deployment in under-hood automotive ECUs, industrial motor drives, and outdoor wireless gateways. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar noninverting 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DBVR | TTL-compatible VIH (2.0 V min @ 3.3 V), slightly higher ICC (max 10 µA vs. 40 µA), same SC-74A package. | Better suited for 3.3 V-only systems with legacy TTL interface requirements; lacks 5.5 V input tolerance. | Select SN74LVC1G125DBVR only if VIH compatibility with older 3.3 V peripherals is critical and 5 V signal exposure is absent. |
| 74AUP1G125GW,125 | Lower ICC (0.9 µA typ), wider VCC range (0.8–3.6 V), but max VIO = 3.6 V - no 5 V tolerance. | Optimized for ultra-low-power battery-operated devices; unsuitable for mixed 3 V/5 V interfacing. | Choose 74AUP1G125GW,125 for sub-µA standby current in energy-harvesting sensors where 5 V signals never appear. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G125DBVR and 74AUP1G125GW,125, the MC74VHC1G125DT1G uniquely combines 5.5 V input tolerance with industrial temperature range and SC-74A footprint-making it the only option among the three capable of robust 3 V/5 V domain bridging without external protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MC74VHC1G125DT1G can tolerate?
The MC74VHC1G125DT1G supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +5.5 V, independent of VCC level. This over-voltage tolerance allows safe connection of 5 V signals to the device even when powered from 2.0 V or 3.3 V supplies-eliminating the need for external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage interfaces.
Does the MC74VHC1G125DT1G support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the MC74VHC1G125DT1G features IOFF circuitry that limits input and output leakage current to ≤10 µA when VCC = 0 V. This prevents unintended current flow through the device during system sleep or hot-swap events, protecting both upstream and downstream circuitry in modular or battery-backed systems.
What is the typical propagation delay of the MC74VHC1G125DT1G at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 15 pF, the MC74VHC1G125DT1G exhibits a typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 4.5 ns, with a maximum of 9.5 ns over the full operating temperature range (−55 °C to +125 °C). This ensures reliable timing in high-speed digital control loops and data acquisition paths.
Which package type does the MC74VHC1G125DT1G use?
The MC74VHC1G125DT1G uses the SC-74A package (Case 318BQ), a 5-pin surface-mount outline measuring 3.00 mm × 1.50 mm × 0.95 mm with 0.95 mm lead pitch. It is compatible with standard reflow profiles and offers superior thermal resistance (320 °C/W) compared to smaller UDFN variants.
How does the MC74VHC1G125DT1G differ from the MC74VHC1GT125 variant?
The MC74VHC1G125DT1G uses CMOS-level input thresholds (e.g., VIH = 3.15 V min @ VCC = 4.5 V), while the MC74VHC1GT125 uses TTL-level thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min @ VCC = 4.5 V). Both share identical output characteristics, package options, and electrical specs otherwise-so the choice depends solely on input compatibility with upstream logic families.
