Product details
Overview
SN74AHC1G125DCK3 from Texas Instruments is a single 3-state bus buffer gate optimized for level translation and low-noise signal routing in space-constrained applications. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±8 mA output drive at 5 V, achieves 6 ns max propagation delay (tpd), and consumes ≤10 µA ICC - enabling use in portable projectors, patient monitoring interfaces, and point-of-sale terminals where power efficiency and signal integrity are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC1G125DCK3 datasheet, SN74AHC1G125DCK3 pinout, SN74AHC1G125DCK3 application, or SN74AHC1G125DCK3 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SC-70-5 package mapping, confirmed 5-pin 3-state logic behavior, thermal and switching specs across –40°C to +85°C, and validated alternative options for bus buffering in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The SN74AHC1G125DCK3 implements a noninverting CMOS buffer with active-low 3-state control: when OE is low, A passes directly to Y; when OE is high, Y enters high-impedance state. Its input structure accepts voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling down-translation from 5 V logic to 3.3 V or 2.5 V domains.
Designed for low-ringing operation, it features controlled edge rates (20 ns/V at 5 V) and limited output drive (±8 mA), reducing overshoot/undershoot on lightly loaded PCB traces. The device supports full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and meets JEDEC JESD22-A114 (HBM ±1500 V) and JESD22-C101 (CDM ±2000 V) ESD standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports interoperability across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures timing compliance in sub-100 MHz digital interfaces |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient for driving moderate capacitive loads without external buffers |
| ICC (Supply Current) | ≤10 µA max - enables battery-powered operation with negligible quiescent drain |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage controllers |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±1500 V - exceeds standard IEC 61000-4-2 system-level immunity requirements |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHC1G125DCK3 uses the SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin surface-mount package, measuring 2.00 mm × 2.1 mm (body: 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm), with 0.65 mm pitch and single-row gull-wing leads. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low output enable input | Drives Y into high-Z when high; must be pulled to VCC via resistor during power-up to prevent bus contention |
| 2 - A | Noninverting data input | Accepts logic levels up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - enables voltage translation |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | True replica of A when OE is low; presents >10 MΩ impedance when OE is high |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply rail | Must be bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin to suppress switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 2 V to 5.5 V operation - eliminates need for level shifters in multi-rail systems |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | 5.5 V absolute max input - safely interfaces with legacy 5 V microcontrollers while powered from 3.3 V |
| Low Power Consumption | ≤10 µA ICC - reduces thermal load and extends battery life in always-on monitoring devices |
| Controlled Output Slew Rate | 20 ns/V at 5 V - minimizes EMI and signal reflections on unterminated traces |
| High-impedance State Leakage | ±2.5 µA max IOZ - prevents unintended current paths in shared-bus architectures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DCK3 | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); 3.5 ns max tpd at 3.3 V; ±24 mA drive | Better suited for high-speed 3.3 V-only systems requiring stronger drive | Select when faster switching or higher fanout is needed; not recommended for 2 V operation |
| 74AHC1G125SE-7 | Same AHC family; SOT-353 (SC-70-5) package; identical electrical specs; Diodes Inc. marking | Drop-in replacement with same footprint, timing, and thermal performance | Preferred for dual-sourcing; verify reel packaging and MSL rating match production requirements |
Compared with SN74AHC1G125DCK3, SN74LVC1G125DCK3 offers higher speed and drive but sacrifices 2 V operation, while 74AHC1G125SE-7 provides identical functionality with second-source availability - making the latter ideal for supply chain resilience without design change.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74AHC1G125DCK3?
The SN74AHC1G125DCK3 is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This temperature range is specified in the official TI datasheet (SCLS377M, February 2024 revision) and applies to the DCK package variant. It does not support the extended –40°C to +125°C range offered by some DBV- and DRL-packaged versions of the same family.
Does SN74AHC1G125DCK3 support 5 V tolerant inputs when powered from 3.3 V?
Yes, SN74AHC1G125DCK3 supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level. When powered from 3.3 V, its inputs remain fully 5 V tolerant - a key feature enabling down-translation from legacy 5 V controllers to modern low-voltage MCUs without external level shifters.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for SN74AHC1G125DCK3?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 5) of SN74AHC1G125DCK3. This minimizes high-frequency supply noise and ensures stable switching performance, especially during output transitions that draw transient current.
Can SN74AHC1G125DCK3 drive a 50 pF load within timing specifications?
Yes, SN74AHC1G125DCK3 maintains guaranteed timing with 50 pF loads: at VCC = 5 V, tPLH/tPHL is 5.3–9.5 ns and tPZH/tPZL is 5.1–9 ns (–40°C to +85°C). These values are explicitly published in Section 5.7 of the TI datasheet and confirm reliable operation into typical PCB trace + connector capacitance.
Is SN74AHC1G125DCK3 pin-compatible with SN74LVC1G125DCK3?
Yes, SN74AHC1G125DCK3 and SN74LVC1G125DCK3 share identical SC-70-5 (DCK) package dimensions, pinout, and terminal functions. However, they differ electrically: LVC has lower VCC minimum (1.65 V), faster propagation, and higher drive - so direct substitution requires validation of voltage and timing margins in the target application.
