Product details
Overview
N74F125D,623 from NXP Semiconductors is a quad non-inverting 3-state buffer IC used for bus driving and signal isolation in TTL-compatible digital systems. It features four independent channels, each with active-low output enable (nOE), 5 V nominal supply operation, propagation delays as low as 2.0 ns (tPLH), and output drive capability up to 64 mA (IOL) in LOW state.
For engineers reviewing the N74F125D,623 datasheet, N74F125D,623 pinout, N74F125D,623 application, or N74F125D,623 equivalent, this device is selected for high-speed bus buffering where controlled output impedance, low propagation delay, and compatibility with FAST TTL logic families are required.
Technical Context
The N74F125D,623 implements four identical non-inverting buffer stages, each with a dedicated active-low 3-state enable input (nOE). When nOE is HIGH, the corresponding output (nY) enters high-impedance OFF-state; when LOW, nY follows nA with minimal delay.
It operates within 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range, supports ambient temperatures from 0 °C to +70 °C, and uses standard FAST TTL input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) and output voltage levels (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = −3 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at IOL = 64 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL/FAST logic rails |
| Propagation delay (tPLH) | 2.0 ns min / 6.5 ns max - enables >150 MHz bus toggle rates in point-to-point configurations |
| Output drive (IOL) | 64 mA - sufficient to drive 10 standard TTL loads or terminate short stubs on PCB traces |
| Input leakage (II) | ≤100 µA at VCC = 0 V - minimizes standby current in powered-down subsystems |
| OFF-state output current (IOZ) | ±50 µA - guarantees robust high-impedance isolation between enabled/disabled channels |
| Ambient temperature range | 0 °C to +70 °C - validated for commercial-grade industrial control and computing applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO14 - plastic small outline package, 14 leads, 3.9 mm body width, JEDEC MS-012 compliant (SOT108-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | nOE (active LOW) | Independent 3-state enable inputs per channel - allows selective bus arbitration without gating data paths |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | nA (input) | Non-inverting data inputs - compatible with TTL/FAST logic voltage thresholds and fanout loading |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (output) | 3-state buffered outputs - provide bidirectional bus isolation with <6.5 ns transition timing |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - shared return path for all four channels and internal logic |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - powers all buffers and enable circuitry; decoupling required per channel group |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent 3-state buffers | Enables simultaneous control of four data lines with separate enable signals - ideal for multiplexed address/data buses |
| FAST TTL-compatible interface | Meets 20 µA input load specification - reduces loading on upstream drivers compared to standard TTL |
| Low propagation delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.5 ns at VCC = 5.0 V - supports high-speed synchronous bus protocols without added wait states |
| High sink/source capability | 64 mA sink (IOL), 15 mA source (IOH) - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple downstream inputs directly |
| Robust OFF-state isolation | IOZ ≤ ±50 µA at VO = 0.5 V or 2.7 V - prevents crosstalk and leakage-induced glitches during bus contention |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F125N | DIP14 package (SOT27-1); identical electrical specs and pinout | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board repair; larger footprint and higher thermal resistance | Select when manual soldering, breadboarding, or compatibility with existing DIP layouts is required. |
| 74ACT125 | CMOS technology; 4.5–5.5 V supply; lower ICC (max 4 mA vs. 40 mA), higher noise immunity (VIH = 3.5 V), but slower tPLH (7.5 ns typ) | Better for low-power, noise-sensitive environments; not drop-in due to different input thresholds and drive strength | Choose for battery-powered or EMI-critical designs where power efficiency outweighs speed requirements. |
Compared with SN74F125N, the N74F125D,623 offers identical logic behavior in a space-saving SO14 package with improved thermal performance; versus 74ACT125, it delivers faster switching and higher drive at the cost of higher quiescent current and TTL-level input sensitivity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the N74F125D,623?
The N74F125D,623 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) rating of +7.0 V, but its recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Operation outside this range may cause parametric shift or reliability degradation. The N74F125D,623 is not rated for 3.3 V operation and requires a regulated 5 V rail to meet specified timing and drive performance.
Does the N74F125D,623 support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
No, the N74F125D,623 does not include hot-swap protection circuitry such as power-up sequencing control, bus-fault detection, or slew-rate limiting. Its input and output structures are designed for static 5 V system operation only. Applying signals to nA or nY pins before VCC stabilization may exceed IIK or IO limits and risk latch-up. The N74F125D,623 must be powered and stabilized prior to signal application.
What is the input loading presented by each channel of the N74F125D,623?
Each input (nA or nOE) of the N74F125D,623 presents one FAST Unit Load (UL): 20 µA in HIGH state and 20 µA in LOW state. This is significantly lighter than standard TTL (40 µA), allowing the N74F125D,623 to drive more downstream inputs without exceeding fanout limits. Input leakage remains ≤100 µA across full temperature range.
Can the N74F125D,623 drive a 50 Ω transmission line directly?
The N74F125D,623 is not optimized for 50 Ω line driving. Its typical output impedance is ~10 Ω in LOW state and ~25 Ω in HIGH state-too low for clean 50 Ω termination. Driving such lines risks overshoot, ringing, and excessive current draw (IOL peaks at 128 mA absolute max). For 50 Ω applications, use the N74F125D,623 to drive a series-terminated source or pair with a dedicated line driver IC.
Is the N74F125D,623 pin-compatible with the 74LS125 or 74HC125?
The N74F125D,623 shares identical pinout (SO14/DIP14) and logic function with both 74LS125 and 74HC125, but is not electrically pin-compatible. Its input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V) match LS, not HC (VIH ≥ 3.5 V); its output drive (64 mA) exceeds LS (8 mA) and differs from HC (±7.8 mA). Substituting without verifying voltage levels, loading, and timing will cause functional failure. The N74F125D,623 must be used within FAST TTL design constraints.
