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 maximum propagation delay at 1.8 V/30 pF, 0.8–2.7-V operating voltage range, and over-voltage tolerant I/Os supporting up to 3.6 V independent of VCC. It serves as a high-speed signal redriver in compact portable logic interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AUC1G125 datasheet, SN74AUC1G125 pinout, SN74AUC1G125 application, or SN74AUC1G125 equivalent, key selection criteria include its NanoFree™/SC70 package compatibility, Ioff-enabled partial power-down capability, ultra-low-voltage TTL (ULTTL) output structure for 50–65-Ω transmission line driving, and guaranteed 250-MHz operation under 15-pF load.
Technical Context
The SN74AUC1G125 implements a noninverting 3-state buffer with active-low output-enable (OE) control, where Y = A when OE is low and Y = high-impedance when OE is high. Its ULTTL output stage provides matched sourcing/sinking capability and dynamic impedance control during transitions to suppress ringing on moderate-length PCB traces.
It supports true partial-power-down operation via Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits back-drive current when VCC = 0 V, while maintaining over-voltage tolerance on all I/O pins up to 3.6 V regardless of supply state. The device is fully characterized from –40°C to +85°C and specified for 0.8–2.7-V VCC, with optimal performance between 1.65 V and 1.95 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 2.7 V - enables direct interface with 1.2-V, 1.8-V, and 2.5-V logic domains without level shifting. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 2.5 ns at 1.8 V, 30-pF load - supports >250-MHz data rates in point-to-point routing with controlled-impedance lines. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at 1.8 V - sufficient to drive 50–65-Ω transmission lines up to 15 cm without external termination. |
| I/O Over-Voltage Tolerance | Up to 3.6 V independent of VCC - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals or hot-swap scenarios. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA max at 2.7 V - ensures negligible leakage and robust back-drive protection during system power sequencing. |
| Quiescent ICC | 10 µA max - minimizes standby power in battery-powered or always-on subsystems. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets industrial-grade ESD immunity requirements per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AUC1G125DCKR uses the SC70-5 (DCK) package: 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body size, 0.65-mm lead pitch, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low output enable input | Drives Y to high-impedance when high; must be pulled up to VCC during power-up/down to ensure defined Z-state. |
| 2 - A | Noninverting logic input | Accepts 0.8–2.7-V logic signals; over-voltage tolerant to 3.6 V; requires tie-off to VCC or GND if unused. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for output current and internal logic; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | Delivers rail-to-rail CMOS-compatible output when enabled; presents high-Z (≤±10 µA leakage) when disabled. |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoFree™ SC70 package | Dies-as-package construction reduces footprint to 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm - ideal for space-constrained mobile and wearables PCBs. |
| ULTTL output architecture | Dynamic impedance control delivers clean edges into 50–65-Ω lines ≤15 cm without external termination resistors. |
| Ioff partial power-down | Disables outputs and blocks reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V - critical for multi-rail systems with staggered power sequencing. |
| Over-voltage tolerant I/Os | All pins withstand 3.6 V regardless of VCC state - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage interconnects. |
| Low ICC and Cpd | 10-µA max quiescent current and 2-pF typical input capacitance minimize loading and dynamic power in high-density logic arrays. |
Applications
| High-Speed Signal Redriving | Logic-Level Translation Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Reconditioning degraded clock or data signals across long PCB traces or flex cables in portable SSD controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting 3-state buffer redriving LVCMOS signals with minimal added jitter and no DC-level shift. Use Value: Restores edge integrity and timing margin using only 1.8-V supply and no external components - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
Use Scenario: Isolating and enabling bidirectional data paths between 1.2-V SoC I/O banks and 1.8-V peripheral sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direction-controlled bus buffer enabling synchronous read/write handshaking without voltage translation ICs. Use Value: Leverages 3.6-V I/O tolerance to safely accept 1.8-V inputs while operating from 1.2-V VCC - avoids level shifter latency and power overhead. |
| Partial-Power-Down System Control | Hot-Swap Capable Peripheral Enable |
|
Use Scenario: Managing power states in modular IoT edge nodes where sensor clusters power down independently of host MCU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Gate controlling enable lines to downstream regulators or ADCs, with Ioff preventing backfeed during VCC ramp-down. Use Value: Eliminates risk of latch-up or damage during uncontrolled power sequencing - certified to JESD78 Class II latch-up (>100 mA). |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling USB or I²C peripherals in field-replaceable modules where connectors may be mated under power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output-enable controlled buffer isolating hot-plug I/O from main system bus during insertion/removal events. Use Value: 3.6-V tolerant I/Os survive transient overvoltage spikes during mating; high-Z state prevents bus contention before firmware initialization. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DCKR | 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), no Ioff. | Supports legacy 3.3-V systems but lacks over-voltage tolerance and partial power-down capability. | Choose when interfacing with 3.3-V or 5-V logic and Ioff is not required; avoid in 1.8-V-only or multi-rail sequenced designs. |
| NC7SZ125P5X | Smaller SC70-5 footprint (1.6 × 1.6 mm), same 1.65–3.6-V range, ±24 mA @ 3.3 V, tpd = 3.5 ns @ 3.3 V/50 pF, no Ioff. | Offers tighter layout density but no 3.6-V I/O tolerance or Ioff - limited to single-supply, non-hot-swap use cases. | Prefer for ultra-compact 3.3-V designs where space is critical and power sequencing is simple; verify I/O voltage compatibility. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G125DCKR and NC7SZ125P5X, SN74AUC1G125DCKR uniquely combines 1.8-V optimization, 3.6-V I/O tolerance, and Ioff - making it the only choice for robust, low-voltage, multi-rail portable systems requiring guaranteed high-Z behavior during power transitions.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by SN74AUC1G125DCKR?
SN74AUC1G125DCKR supports reliable operation above 250 MHz under optimal conditions: 1.8-V supply, 15-pF load, and proper PCB layout with controlled-impedance routing. This is validated by its 2.5-ns maximum propagation delay at 1.8 V/30 pF and documented 500-Mbps capability in TI application notes - though actual system frequency depends on trace length, termination, and noise margin.
Does SN74AUC1G125DCKR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
Yes - all unused inputs of SN74AUC1G125DCKR, including A and OE, must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states that cause excessive power consumption or oscillation. A 10-kΩ resistor is recommended for OE to ensure high-impedance output during power-up; A should be tied to VCC or GND based on functional requirement, never left open.
Can SN74AUC1G125DCKR interface safely between 1.8-V and 3.3-V logic domains?
SN74AUC1G125DCKR can accept 3.3-V inputs safely due to its 3.6-V over-voltage tolerant I/Os, but its outputs swing only from GND to VCC (max 2.7 V). To drive a 3.3-V receiver, VCC must be set to ≥3.0 V - however, SN74AUC1G125DCKR's recommended VCC range ends at 2.7 V. Therefore, it is not suitable as a 1.8-V-to-3.3-V translator; use SN74LVC1G125DCKR instead for that function.
What is the purpose of the Ioff feature in SN74AUC1G125DCKR?
The Ioff feature in SN74AUC1G125DCKR disables all outputs and limits leakage current to ±10 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging back-current flow from powered sections of the system into unpowered ones. This is essential for robust power sequencing in multi-rail devices like smartphones or modular IoT hardware where subsystems power up/down independently.
Which package variant does SN74AUC1G125DCKR use, and what are its mechanical dimensions?
SN74AUC1G125DCKR uses the SC70-5 (DCK) package: a 5-pin, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant package with nominal body dimensions of 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm and 0.65-mm lead pitch. It is distinct from the SOT-23 (DBV) and DSBGA (YZP) variants - this specific part number is orderable only in SC70 packaging per TI's official packaging addendum.
