Product details
Overview
SN74LVC1G125 from Texas Instruments is a single 3-state bus buffer gate used for signal isolation and bidirectional bus control in low-voltage digital systems. It features true noninverting logic, 3.3V/5V supply compatibility (1.65–5.5V), ±24mA output drive at 3.3V, 3.7ns max propagation delay, and Ioff support for live insertion. It is commonly deployed in high-speed data acquisition interfaces and SSD internal signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC1G125 datasheet, SN74LVC1G125 pinout, SN74LVC1G125 application, or SN74LVC1G125 equivalent, key selection considerations include its ultra-small X2SON-5 (DPW) package, over-voltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5V, rail-to-rail output swing, Ioff-enabled partial power-down mode, and guaranteed 3-state behavior during power sequencing.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC1G125 implements a CMOS-based noninverting buffer with active-low 3-state enable (OE). Its input stage accepts voltages up to 5.5V independent of VCC, enabling level translation from 3.3V or 5V sources into lower-supply domains. The output stage uses balanced push-pull drivers capable of sourcing and sinking up to ±24mA at 3.3V while maintaining defined VOH/VOL across temperature.
It incorporates Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0V, preventing back-drive current and supporting hot-plug operation. The device operates across –40°C to 125°C with guaranteed switching performance at CL = 30pF and supports robust ESD protection (2000V HBM, 1000V CDM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - Enables interoperability across 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 3.7ns at 3.3V, CL = 15pF - Supports >200MHz data rates in short-trace, low-capacitance interfaces. |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at 3.3V - Sufficient to drive multiple LVC loads or moderate PCB trace capacitance without external buffering. |
| Ioff Current | ±10μA max - Ensures negligible leakage during system power-down or hot-swap events. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5V regardless of VCC - Allows direct connection to 5V TTL or CMOS outputs without external level shifters. |
| ESD Rating | 2000V HBM, 1000V CDM - Meets industrial-grade handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and military radar subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC1G125DBVT uses the DPW (X2SON-5) package: 0.8mm × 0.8mm body, 0.5mm pitch, 5-terminal ultra-compact footprint ideal for space-constrained PCBs such as SSD modules and compact video transcoders.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low output enable | Drives Y high-impedance when high; ties to VCC via pullup for safe power-up state. |
| 2 - A | Data input | Noninverting input accepting 0–5.5V; compatible with TTL and CMOS logic families. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; must be low-impedance and adjacent to decoupling capacitor. |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | True replica of A when OE is low; high-Z when OE is high; drives ±24mA at 3.3V. |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-voltage tolerant inputs | Accepts up to 5.5V on A/OE regardless of VCC - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-supply systems. |
| Ioff partial power-down | Outputs fully disabled at VCC = 0V - prevents back-driving and enables hot-plug capability in modular systems. |
| Ultra-small X2SON-5 (DPW) | 0.64mm² footprint - reduces board area by >50% vs. SOT-23-5, critical for SSD and portable video infrastructure. |
| Guaranteed 3-state during power sequencing | OE tied to VCC via pullup ensures Y remains high-Z at power-up/down - avoids bus contention in multi-device systems. |
| Balanced CMOS output drive | Sources/sinks ±24mA symmetrically at 3.3V - maintains clean signal integrity with minimal overshoot on light loads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G126DBVT | Inverting logic function (A → Y̅); otherwise identical electrical specs and DPW packaging. | Required where signal polarity inversion is needed in bus arbitration or enable logic chains. | Select SN74LVC1G126DBVT only when inverting behavior aligns with system-level logic architecture. |
| 74LVC1G125GW,125 | NXP variant in SC-70-5 (DCK) package; same logic and specs but larger 2.0mm × 2.1mm footprint and higher RθJA (371°C/W). | Suitable for legacy designs using SC-70 footprints or where thermal margin exceeds 125°C junction limit. | Choose 74LVC1G125GW,125 if board layout already accommodates SC-70 or thermal derating is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the recommended pullup resistor value for OE on SN74LVC1G125DBVT?
The OE pin should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor to ensure high-impedance output during power-up. TI specifies the minimum resistor value based on the driver's current-sinking capability. For SN74LVC1G125DBVT, a 10kΩ resistor is recommended - it guarantees reliable disable state while minimizing quiescent current and accommodating typical Ioff leakage (<10μA) and PCB parasitics.
Does SN74LVC1G125DBVT support 5V-tolerant inputs when VCC = 3.3V?
Yes. SN74LVC1G125DBVT features over-voltage tolerant inputs: both A and OE accept voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC level. When VCC = 3.3V, the device correctly interprets 5V TTL logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) and safely clamps excess voltage internally - no external resistors or translators are required.
Can SN74LVC1G125DBVT drive a 50pF load while meeting datasheet timing specs?
Yes. SN74LVC1G125DBVT is characterized for CL = 30pF and 50pF loads across –40°C to 125°C. At VCC = 3.3V and CL = 50pF, maximum tpd is 4.7ns and tdis is 5.2ns - fully compliant with datasheet limits. For best signal integrity, keep trace lengths short and avoid stubs; add a 10–33Ω series resistor if ringing occurs.
Is SN74LVC1G125DBVT suitable for hot-swap applications?
Yes. SN74LVC1G125DBVT includes Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0V, limiting Ioff current to ±10μA max. This prevents back-driving of powered circuitry and protects upstream logic during live insertion - a key requirement for modular SSD carriers, field-replaceable video cards, and industrial I/O modules.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74LVC1G125DBVT in its DPW package?
SN74LVC1G125DBVT in the DPW (X2SON-5) package has an RθJA of 340°C/W, measured per JEDEC JESD51 standards on a 1s1p test board. This value assumes standard copper pour and 2oz internal layers. For continuous operation at 125°C ambient, power dissipation must remain below ~150mW - well within the device's 10μA ICC max and typical Cpd = 19pF at 3.3V.
