Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT125QDREP from Texas Instruments is a quadruple 3-state bus buffer gate with independent enable control per channel, operating at 4.5–5.5 V supply, supporting −40°C to 125°C extended temperature range, TTL-compatible inputs, and 8 mA output drive - used in industrial backplane interface and level-shifting data buses.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHCT125QDREP datasheet, SN74AHCT125QDREP pinout, SN74AHCT125QDREP application, or SN74AHCT125QDREP equivalent, key selection considerations include 3-state timing (tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 6 ns @ 15 pF), SOIC-14 package thermal resistance (θJA = 86°C/W), input clamp rating (±20 mA), and guaranteed high-impedance during power sequencing via OE pull-up.
Technical Context
This device implements four noninverting buffer channels, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) control. Each channel transitions between low-impedance pass-through (OE = L) and high-impedance tri-state (OE = H), enabling bidirectional bus sharing without external direction control logic.
It uses AHCT logic family silicon with CMOS inputs and TTL-voltage-compatible thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), ensuring interoperability with legacy 5-V TTL systems while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Absolute maximum ratings include 7-V supply tolerance and ±25 mA continuous output current per pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with regulated 5-V industrial rails and immunity to brownout below 4.5 V. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, motor control, and harsh-environment industrial use. |
| Output Drive (IOL/IOH) | ±8 mA - sufficient to drive standard 50-pF loads with <8.5 ns propagation delay, supporting multi-drop bus loading. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - interfaces directly with legacy 74LS/74ALS without level shifters. |
| 3-State Enable Timing | tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 6 ns (CL = 15 pF) - enables fast bus arbitration and minimizes contention windows in shared-data systems. |
| ESD Protection | ≥2000 V HBM, ≥200 V MM - exceeds JEDEC JS-001 requirements for assembly-line robustness and field reliability. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | Cpd = 14 pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation at 1 MHz switching for thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHCT125QDREP is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.75 mm × 3.91 mm body, and 1.75 mm max height - optimized for automated placement and reflow compatibility per IPC-7351 land pattern.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | OE (Active-Low Output Enable) | Independent per-channel enable; tie to VCC via pull-up resistor to guarantee high-Z at power-up. |
| 2, 5, 11, 14 | A (Data Input) | Noninverting input per buffer; TTL-compatible threshold ensures reliable logic capture from legacy sources. |
| 3, 6, 12, 9 | Y (Buffered Output) | 3-state output; sinks or sources up to 8 mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.44 V and VOH ≥ 3.8 V. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal logic; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quadruple independent buffers | Four isolated channels allow selective bus segment control without cross-talk or timing coupling. |
| Extended temperature qualification | JEDEC-compliant HAST, temperature cycling, and bond intermetallic testing ensure 125°C operation reliability. |
| Controlled baseline manufacturing | Single assembly/test site and single fabrication site reduce parametric drift and supply chain variability. |
| 3-state output leakage (IOZ) | ±2.5 µA max at VCC = 5.5 V - prevents unintended bus loading during high-Z state in low-power sleep modes. |
| Input transition rate limit | 20 ns/V - prevents false triggering from slow-rising signals common in long-trace or capacitive-load environments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Data Routing |

FAQ
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE pins on SN74AHCT125QDREP?
The minimum OE pull-up resistor value for SN74AHCT125QDREP is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver controlling OE. TI specifies that OE must be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure high-impedance state during power-up; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ for standard 5-V logic drivers. Always verify against the source driver's IOL rating to avoid violating the 20 mA absolute max clamp current limit.
Does SN74AHCT125QDREP support mixed-voltage operation between 3.3 V and 5 V systems?
SN74AHCT125QDREP does not support true mixed-voltage operation: its VCC must be 4.5–5.5 V, and inputs are TTL-voltage compatible (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), allowing reliable interfacing with 3.3-V CMOS outputs only if those outputs meet TTL thresholds. It cannot accept 3.3-V logic levels as valid inputs unless they exceed 2 V for HIGH or fall below 0.8 V for LOW - direct connection to unbuffered 3.3-V GPIO may result in marginal or undefined switching.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74AHCT125QDREP can drive while maintaining specified timing?
SN74AHCT125QDREP is characterized for CL = 15 pF and CL = 50 pF loads. At 15 pF, tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.5 ns and tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 6 ns; at 50 pF, delays increase to ≤8.5 ns and ≤10 ns respectively. Driving >50 pF violates the specified switching characteristics - for heavier loads, add series termination or consider a higher-drive buffer like SN74ALVC16244.
Is SN74AHCT125QDREP RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, SN74AHCT125QDREP is RoHS compliant and features NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish, as confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH) and is rated for peak reflow at 260°C - fully compatible with standard lead-free soldering processes.
How does SN74AHCT125QDREP differ from commercial-grade SN74AHCT125?
SN74AHCT125QDREP is the enhanced-product (EP) variant of SN74AHCT125, featuring controlled baseline manufacturing (single fab/assembly site), extended temperature qualification (−40°C to 125°C), enhanced DMS support, and full JEDEC pedigree testing (HAST, temperature cycling, electromigration). The commercial SN74AHCT125 is rated only for 0°C to 70°C and lacks EP-specific reliability documentation and long-term supply guarantees.
