Product details
Overview
SN74AHC1G125DRLR from Texas Instruments is a single 3-state bus buffer gate optimized for level translation and low-noise bus driving 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 systems, and industrial motor control I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC1G125DRLR datasheet, SN74AHC1G125DRLR pinout, SN74AHC1G125DRLR application, or SN74AHC1G125DRLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-553 (DRL) 5-pin package, 3-state enable-controlled output behavior, voltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The SN74AHC1G125DRLR implements a noninverting CMOS buffer with active-low 3-state output control: when OE is low, A is passed to Y; when OE is high, Y enters high-impedance state. Its input structure accepts voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, supporting down-translation from 5-V logic to lower-voltage domains.
Designed for low-ringing bus interfacing, it features controlled edge rates (20 ns/V at 5 V) and balanced drive strength (±8 mA at 5 V), minimizing overshoot/undershoot on light loads. Thermal performance is characterized for its DRL package with RθJA = 328.7°C/W and junction-to-board RθJB = 150.3°C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered operation down to 2 V. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures timing-critical signal buffering in high-speed digital subsystems. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or moderate PCB traces without external buffering. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | ≤10 µA - enables ultra-low-power standby states in always-on monitoring or IoT edge nodes. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - allows safe interfacing with 5-V peripherals while operating at 3.3 V or 2.5 V. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial motor controls and medical equipment with extended thermal envelopes. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±1500 V - meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly and field-replaceable modules. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-553 (DRL) 5-pin plastic small-outline package: 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm body size, 0.6 mm max height, lead pitch 0.5 mm, RoHS-compliant NIPDAUAG finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low output enable input | Drives Y into high-impedance when high; ties to VCC via pullup for power-up safety. |
| 2 - A | Buffer input | Accepts logic signals up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC; no level-shifting circuitry required. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal logic and output current; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 - Y | 3-state noninverting output | Drives true A signal when OE is low; presents >100 kΩ impedance when OE is high. |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DRLR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); 3.5 ns tpd at 3.3 V; higher drive (±24 mA at 3.3 V) | Better suited for 1.8-V/3.3-V systems requiring faster edges and stronger drive; not rated for 2-V operation. | Select when speed and drive exceed SN74AHC1G125DRLR requirements and 2-V operation is unnecessary. |
| 74AUP1G125GW,125 | Ultra-low power (0.9 µA ICC); VCC = 0.8–3.6 V; 12 ns tpd at 3.3 V; smaller XSON-6 package | Optimized for sub-1-V battery operation and minimal quiescent current; incompatible with 5-V interfaces. | Choose for energy-harvesting or coin-cell applications where 5-V tolerance and 6 ns speed are not required. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G125DRLR and 74AUP1G125GW,125, the SN74AHC1G125DRLR uniquely balances 2-V minimum operation, 5.5-V input tolerance, and 6 ns speed - making it the only option supporting full 2–5.5 V interoperability in compact SOT-553 form.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for SN74AHC1G125DRLR?
The SN74AHC1G125DRLR supports a supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling robust interfacing with 5-V peripherals even when powered at 3.3 V or 2.5 V. Absolute maximum VCC is 7 V, but sustained operation above 5.5 V violates recommended conditions and may impact reliability.
Does SN74AHC1G125DRLR support level translation?
Yes, the SN74AHC1G125DRLR supports down-translation: its inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, allowing connection to 5-V logic while operating at 3.3 V or 2.5 V. However, it does not support up-translation - output swing is limited to VCC and GND, so it cannot generate 5-V signals when powered at 3.3 V.
What is the thermal resistance of SN74AHC1G125DRLR in its SOT-553 package?
The SN74AHC1G125DRLR in the DRL package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 328.7°C/W and a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 150.3°C/W. These values assume JEDEC-standard PCB mounting with 1-in² copper pad; actual performance improves with enhanced thermal vias and copper area per TI's SLLP-012 layout guidance.
How should the OE pin be handled during power-up for SN74AHC1G125DRLR?
To ensure high-impedance output during power-up/power-down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor. TI recommends a value that limits current to <1 mA at worst-case VCC (5.5 V), i.e., ≤5.6 kΩ. This prevents unintended bus contention before system firmware initializes the enable signal.
Is SN74AHC1G125DRLR suitable for automotive applications?
The SN74AHC1G125DRLR is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the pin-compatible SN74AHC1G125-Q1, which undergoes extended temperature testing (–40°C to +125°C), enhanced ESD robustness, and failure analysis per AEC-Q100. The standard SN74AHC1G125DRLR remains appropriate for industrial and medical applications within the same temperature range.
