Product details
Overview
SN74AUC1G125 from Texas Instruments is a single 3-state bus buffer gate optimized for 1.8-V operation, delivering ±8-mA output drive, 2.5-ns max propagation delay at 1.8 V/30 pF, 0.8–2.7-V supply range, and over-voltage tolerant I/Os up to 3.6 V. It serves as a high-speed signal redriver in low-voltage digital interfaces such as memory data paths and FPGA I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AUC1G125 datasheet, SN74AUC1G125 pinout, SN74AUC1G125 application, or SN74AUC1G125 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state control timing (tdis/ten), Ioff-enabled partial power-down capability, ULTTL output impedance matching for 50–65-Ω transmission lines, and NanoFree™ DSBGA package compatibility with ultra-dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74AUC1G125 implements a noninverting 3-state buffer with active-low output-enable (OE) logic. Its ULTTL output structure dynamically adjusts impedance during signal transitions to suppress ringing and minimize reflections on controlled-impedance lines under 15 cm.
It supports true partial-power-down operation via Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits back-drive current when VCC = 0 V. Input tolerance extends to 3.6 V independent of VCC, enabling level-shifting between 1.8-V logic domains and higher-voltage peripherals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 2.7 V - enables interoperability across 1.2-V, 1.8-V, and 2.5-V logic families without level shifters |
| Max Propagation Delay | 2.5 ns at 1.8 V, 30-pF load - supports >250-MHz signal re-driving in high-speed digital interconnects |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at 1.8 V - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines directly without external termination resistors |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA at 2.7 V - ensures safe isolation during hot-swap or partial system power-down sequences |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 3.6 V - allows interfacing with 3.3-V peripherals while powered from 1.8-V rail |
| Quiescent Current | 10 µA max - minimizes standby power in battery-sensitive portable and IoT applications |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling and field operation |
Pinout & Package
SN74AUC1G125DBVR uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per TI SCES382M Rev M (Aug 2022): OE (active-low enable), A (noninverting input), Y (3-state output), VCC (supply), GND (ground).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low output enable input | Drives Y to high-impedance when high; ties to VCC via pull-up for power-up safety |
| 2 - A | Noninverting logic input | Accepts 0.8–3.6-V signals; must be terminated to VCC or GND if unused |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for output current and internal logic; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | Drives A with same logic state when OE low; presents >10⁹ Ω impedance when OE high |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1-µF bypass capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ULTTL Output Architecture | Dynamic impedance control enables clean 50–65-Ω line driving ≤15 cm without external termination |
| Ioff Partial Power-Down | Prevents back-current flow when VCC = 0 V - critical for hot-plug and multi-rail power sequencing |
| Over-Voltage Tolerant I/Os | 3.6-V input/output tolerance independent of VCC - eliminates need for discrete level translators |
| NanoFree™ Packaging | Dies-as-packages (DSBGA option) reduce footprint by >50% vs SOT-23 - ideal for space-constrained mobile designs |
| Low-Power Operation | 10-µA max ICC enables always-on buffering in energy-harvesting and ultra-low-power sensor nodes |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DBVR | Wider VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); lower drive (±24 mA @ 3.3 V); slower tpd (3.7 ns @ 3.3 V/30 pF) | Better suited for 3.3-V legacy systems; lacks 0.8-V operation and 3.6-V I/O tolerance | Select when interfacing with 5-V peripherals or requiring higher noise margin at 3.3 V |

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage for SN74AUC1G125DBVR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for SN74AUC1G125DBVR is 3.6 V, as specified in Section 6.1 of the TI SCES382M datasheet. Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage. The device operates reliably within the recommended 0.8–2.7-V range, with optimal performance at 1.65–1.95 V.
Does SN74AUC1G125DBVR support partial power-down mode?
Yes, SN74AUC1G125DBVR supports partial power-down mode via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, the Ioff circuitry disables all outputs, limiting leakage to ±10 µA and preventing damaging back-current flow - essential for hot-swap and multi-rail power sequencing in systems using SN74AUC1G125DBVR.
Can SN74AUC1G125DBVR drive a 50-Ω transmission line directly?
Yes, SN74AUC1G125DBVR is designed to drive 50–65-Ω transmission lines directly without external termination. Its ULTTL output structure provides matched impedance and low reflection characteristics for traces under 15 cm, verified in TI's AUC application notes and confirmed in SN74AUC1G125DBVR switching characteristics tables.
What is the propagation delay of SN74AUC1G125DBVR at 1.8 V?
At 1.8 V supply and 30-pF load, SN74AUC1G125DBVR has a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 2.5 ns, as documented in Section 6.7 of the TI SCES382M datasheet. Typical tpd is 1.5 ns under those conditions, supporting reliable operation above 250 MHz in re-driving applications.
Is SN74AUC1G125DBVR pin-compatible with other 5-pin logic buffers?
No - SN74AUC1G125DBVR uses the standard SOT-23-5 pinout (OE, A, GND, Y, VCC), but pin compatibility must be verified per function, not package alone. For example, SN74LVC1G125DBVR shares the same pinout and is functionally compatible, whereas SN74AUC1G04DBVR (inverter) has identical package but different logic function and pin mapping.
