Product details
Overview
SN64BCT125ANSR from Texas Instruments is a quad 3-state bus buffer with independent line drivers, designed for address/data bus isolation in TTL-compatible systems. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers ±64 mA output drive, supports −40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, and features high-impedance state during power-up/down - used in memory address buffering and microprocessor bus interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the SN64BCT125ANSR datasheet, SN64BCT125ANSR pinout, SN64BCT125ANSR application, or SN64BCT125ANSR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state control timing (tPZL ≤ 9.9 ns), BiCMOS low ICCZ (6–14 mA), ESD protection (>2000 V), and compatibility with 14-pin PDIP layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) control. Each channel transitions to high-impedance when its OE is high, enabling bidirectional bus sharing without contention.
Its BiCMOS architecture combines bipolar input stages for TTL-level compatibility (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and CMOS output stages for reduced quiescent current (ICCZ ≤ 14 mA) and fast switching (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.9 ns at 5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across standard 5 V supply rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / −15 mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long PCB traces or multiple TTL inputs) without signal degradation. |
| tPZL / tPHZ | 5–9.9 ns / 3–9.4 ns - enables clean bus turn-around timing in multiplexed address/data systems. |
| ICCZ | 6–14 mA - low standby current during 3-state mode reduces system-level power in idle bus segments. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V per MIL-STD-883C Method 3015 - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field service. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications. |
Pinout & Package
SN64BCT125ANSR is supplied in a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), with 300-mil body width, through-hole mounting, and industry-standard pin spacing (0.1 inch). Pin 7 is GND; Pin 14 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 5, 13 | Input A (A1–A4) | Non-inverting data inputs accepting TTL-compatible logic levels (0.8 V/2 V thresholds). |
| 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12 | Output Y / OE (Y1–Y4, OE1–OE4) | Buffered outputs and corresponding active-low enable controls - each pair operates independently. |
| 7 | GND | Power return reference for all internal logic and output stages. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail for BiCMOS core - must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent 3-state control per channel | Enables selective bus segment isolation without affecting other channels - critical for multi-master arbitration. |
| High-impedance during power sequencing | Prevents back-driving of powered-down subsystems during cold-start or hot-swap events. |
| BiCMOS process technology | Delivers TTL input compatibility and CMOS output drive strength while minimizing ICCZ vs. pure bipolar equivalents. |
| ESD protection >2000 V | Reduces need for external transient suppression on board-level I/O lines. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Microprocessor Bus Isolation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address buses between CPU and SRAM/ROM chips in industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad non-inverting buffer with per-line 3-state control isolates address latches from bus contention during DMA cycles. Use Value: Ensures glitch-free address propagation with tPHL ≤ 6.9 ns and eliminates bus conflicts via independent OE gating. | Use Scenario: Interfacing an 8051-family microcontroller to peripheral ICs sharing a common data bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus driver enabling CPU read/write access while peripherals remain electrically isolated until selected. Use Value: Leverages independent OE pins to synchronize peripheral enable timing with CPU strobes, avoiding race conditions. |
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | TTL-Level Signal Distribution |
Use Scenario: Distributing control signals across modular I/O racks in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and fan-out buffer for TTL-compatible command signals routed over 10+ cm backplane traces. Use Value: 64 mA drive capability maintains signal integrity across high-capacitance backplane loads without external amplification. | Use Scenario: Fan-out of clock or reset signals to multiple synchronous logic devices in test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, non-inverting repeater with controlled edge rates to minimize crosstalk in dense logic arrays. Use Value: Tight tPLH/tPHL matching (≤0.7 ns skew) ensures deterministic setup/hold margins across fan-out destinations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74BCT244N | Octal (8-channel) configuration; identical VCC, timing, and drive specs; same PDIP-20 package. | Higher channel count suits wider buses (e.g., 32-bit data paths); requires larger footprint and additional PCB routing. | Select when expanding bus width beyond 4 lines - no change in logic behavior or timing margins. |
| SN64BCT126ANSR | Same pinout and specs, but with active-high OE instead of active-low OE (inverted enable polarity). | Requires complementary OE signal generation - incompatible with existing active-low control logic without inversion. | Choose only if system-level OE signals are active-high; verify OE logic polarity match before substitution. |
Compared with SN74BCT244N and SN64BCT126ANSR, the SN64BCT125ANSR offers optimal channel count and active-low OE alignment for 4-line address buffering where space and control simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pins on the SN64BCT125ANSR?
Each OE pin (pins 1, 2, 3, and 4) controls one of the four buffer channels independently. When an OE pin is high, its corresponding output enters high-impedance (3-state) mode; when low, the buffer passes the input signal to the output. This allows dynamic bus sharing without hardware contention - a core feature of the SN64BCT125ANSR design.
Does the SN64BCT125ANSR support 3.3 V operation?
No. The SN64BCT125ANSR is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and BiCMOS output structure require nominal 5 V rail compliance. Using 3.3 V violates recommended operating conditions and risks unreliable switching or excessive ICCZ - the SN64BCT125ANSR must operate within its defined VCC range.
What is the maximum capacitive load the SN64BCT125ANSR can drive reliably?
The SN64BCT125ANSR is characterized with CL = 50 pF in its switching specifications (e.g., tPLH, tPHL), and its 64 mA IOL rating supports driving typical PCB traces and multiple TTL inputs. While not explicitly rated for higher loads, empirical use shows stable operation up to ~100 pF with proper layout - however, timing margins degrade beyond 50 pF, so the SN64BCT125ANSR should be applied within its tested 50 pF condition for guaranteed performance.
Is the SN64BCT125ANSR RoHS compliant?
Yes. According to Texas Instruments' packaging documentation, the SN64BCT125ANSR (orderable part SN64BCT125AN) carries RoHS-compliant lead finish (NIPDAU) and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. This applies to both tube-packaged units and reel variants - full compliance data is available in TI's official materials declaration for the SN64BCT125ANSR.
How does the SN64BCT125ANSR behave during power-up?
The SN64BCT125ANSR features inherent high-impedance state during power-up and power-down sequences. When VCC rises from 0 V to 1.3 V or falls from 1.3 V to 0 V, outputs remain in 3-state regardless of OE or input states - preventing bus contention or false writes. This behavior is guaranteed by design and documented in the absolute maximum ratings table for the SN64BCT125ANSR.
