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 3.3V/5V supply compatibility, ±24mA output drive at 3.3V, 3.7ns max propagation delay, 10μA max ICC, and over-voltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5V.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC1G125 datasheet, SN74LVC1G125 pinout, SN74LVC1G125 application, or SN74LVC1G125 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (ten/tdis), Ioff support for live insertion, ultra-small X2SON-5 (DPW) package footprint (0.8mm × 0.8mm), and guaranteed operation from –40°C to 125°C.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC1G125 implements a noninverting buffer with active-low 3-state enable (OE). Its CMOS input structure accepts TTL- and LVC-compatible logic levels, while its balanced push-pull output supports bidirectional bus driving with high-impedance isolation when OE is high.
It incorporates partial-power-down (Ioff) protection that disables all outputs at 0V VCC, prevents back-drive current, and meets JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100mA). Input voltage translation (up to 5.5V into VCC ≤ 5.5V) and down-translation to VCC are explicitly supported per datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - enables direct interface between 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains |
| tpd (max) | 3.7ns at 3.3V, CL = 15pF - ensures sub-4ns timing margin for high-speed data acquisition paths |
| Ioff Leakage | ±10μA at 5.5V - guarantees safe live insertion and hot-swap capability without bus contention |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at 3.3V - sufficient to drive 50pF loads or parallel multiple buffers for higher fanout |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5V independent of VCC - allows 5V-tolerant inputs even when powered from 1.8V or 2.5V |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial, motor control, and radar subsystems |
| ICC (max) | 10μA - enables ultra-low static power in always-on monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
The SN74LVC1G125DPWR uses the DPW (X2SON-5) package: 0.8mm × 0.8mm body, 0.5mm pitch, no exposed pad, 5-terminal surface-mount layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-low output enable | Drives Y high-impedance when high; ties to VCC via pullup for power-up safety |
| 2 - A | Data input | Noninverting input accepting 0–5.5V; compatible with TTL, LVC, and mixed-voltage sources |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | True-pass output (Y = A when OE low); drives high/low or floats when OE high |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Supplies internal logic and output stage; requires local 0.1μF bypass capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small X2SON-5 package | 0.64mm² footprint - saves PCB area in space-constrained SSD controllers and video transcoders |
| Over-voltage tolerant inputs | 5.5V absolute max on A/OE pins regardless of VCC - eliminates level-shifters in 3.3V-to-5V translation |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks current flow at 0V VCC - enables safe hot-plug in cable modem termination systems |
| Low propagation delay | 3.7ns max at 3.3V - supports >200MHz data rates in high-speed acquisition front-ends |
| CMOS-compatible 3-state control | OE pin directly driven by microcontroller GPIO - simplifies bus arbitration without external logic |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC1G125GW,125 | SC70-5 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm); 4.5ns max tpd at 3.3V; identical electrical specs | Larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-dense PCBs like SSD modules | Preferred where SC70 handling or legacy board compatibility is required |
| NC7SZ125P5X | SC70-5; 3.2ns max tpd at 3.3V; 5.5V-tolerant inputs; 1.65–5.5V VCC range | Slightly faster but lower drive (±24mA only at VCC ≥ 4.5V); different thermal metrics | Consider for speed-critical paths where 5V supply is available and layout allows SC70 |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage allowed on the A and OE pins of the SN74LVC1G125DPWR?
The SN74LVC1G125DPWR supports input voltages up to 5.5V on both A and OE pins, regardless of VCC level - a feature explicitly documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables. This over-voltage tolerance enables direct connection to 5V sources while operating from 1.8V or 2.5V supplies, eliminating external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems.
Does the SN74LVC1G125DPWR support live insertion or hot-swap applications?
Yes, the SN74LVC1G125DPWR supports live insertion via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0V, all outputs are disabled and leakage is limited to ±10μA, preventing back-drive current into powered circuitry. This behavior is verified per JESD78 Class II latch-up testing and is critical for use in cable modem termination systems and modular video infrastructure where field-replaceable units require hot-swap capability.
What is the recommended pullup resistor value for the OE pin of the SN74LVC1G125DPWR during power-up?
Texas Instruments recommends tying OE to VCC through a pullup resistor to ensure high-impedance state at power-up. The minimum value is determined by the driver's current-sinking capability - typically 10kΩ suffices, as confirmed in TI application notes and validated across –40°C to 125°C operation. This value balances fast enable timing, low static current, and noise immunity without loading the VCC rail.
Can the SN74LVC1G125DPWR drive a 50pF capacitive load while meeting datasheet timing specifications?
Yes - the SN74LVC125DPWR is characterized for CL = 50pF in its switching characteristics tables (Sections 5.7 and 5.8), with tpd ≤ 4.7ns at 3.3V and –40°C to +125°C. TI explicitly states in Section 8.2.1.1 that the device can drive ≤50pF loads while meeting all specifications; larger loads require series damping resistors to suppress ringing and maintain signal integrity.
How does the SN74LVC1G125DPWR handle unused inputs?
All unused inputs (A and OE) of the SN74LVC1G125DPWR must be terminated to either VCC or GND - floating CMOS inputs cause excessive power consumption and potential oscillation. TI recommends 10kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors for unused pins, as stated in Section 5.3 and Section 7.3.3. Leaving OE unconnected risks unintended output activation; leaving A unconnected violates recommended operating conditions and may compromise reliability.
