Product details
Overview
SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified quadruple bus buffer gate with 3-state outputs, operating from 1.65V to 3.6V over –40°C to 125°C. It features 5.5V-tolerant inputs, 4.8ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, and latch-up immunity >250mA-used in automotive infotainment data routing and ECU-level signal isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 datasheet, SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 pinout, SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 application, or SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output control timing (tdis ≤ 4.4ns at 3.3V), 5.5V input tolerance for mixed-voltage interfacing, and SOIC-14 package compatibility with legacy automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent noninverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) control. Each buffer transitions to high-impedance state when its OE is high, enabling bidirectional bus sharing without contention.
Input voltage tolerance up to 5.5V allows direct interfacing with 5V logic while powered from 3.3V or lower supplies. Output drive strength is specified at ±24mA (IOL/IOH) at 3V, supporting TTL- and CMOS-compatible loads across the full automotive temperature range.

| tpd Max | 4.8ns at 3.3V: Supports high-speed data transfer in CAN/LIN gateway buffering and sensor interface multiplexing. |
| Input Voltage | Up to 5.5V: Allows safe connection to legacy 5V peripherals without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at 3V: Sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS inputs in distributed control networks. |

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 at 3.3V?
The maximum propagation delay (tpd) of SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 is 4.6ns at 3.3V ±0.3V and 25°C, and 6ns across the full –40°C to 125°C operating range. This value applies to the A-to-Y path and ensures deterministic timing in high-speed automotive data paths such as sensor multiplexing and display interface bridging. SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 maintains this performance without derating across its qualified temperature envelope.
Does SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 support 5V input signals while powered at 3.3V?
Yes, SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 supports input voltages up to 5.5V independent of VCC level, enabling direct interfacing with 5V legacy peripherals in mixed-voltage automotive systems. This eliminates external level-shifting components when connecting to 5V sensors or microcontrollers while SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 operates from a 3.3V supply. Input clamp current is limited to ±50mA per absolute maximum ratings.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for SN74LVC125AQDRQ1?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 14) of SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 to suppress high-frequency supply noise. For boards with multiple VCC pins or stringent EMI requirements, paralleling a 1μF capacitor improves low-frequency decoupling. SN74LVC125AQDRQ1's SOIC package allows straightforward placement adjacent to Pin 14 without vias or routing detours.
How does SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 handle unused inputs?
All unused inputs of SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 must be tied to either VCC or GND to prevent floating states that cause increased ICC, noise coupling, or undefined logic behavior. TI specifies that unused OE pins should be pulled high (to VCC) via a resistor to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance mode during power-up. SN74LVC125AQDRQ1's input structure tolerates 5.5V, so pull-up resistors may connect directly to 3.3V or 5V rails depending on system architecture.
Is SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 pin-compatible with non-automotive versions like SN74LVC125A?
SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 shares identical pinout, functionality, and electrical characteristics with the commercial SN74LVC125A in SOIC-14 packaging, but adds AEC-Q100 qualification, extended temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), and enhanced reliability testing. SN74LVC125AQDRQ1 is not a drop-in replacement for non-automotive variants in safety-critical designs unless full automotive qualification documentation and PPAP compliance are verified.
