Product details
Overview
TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a single-channel CMOS bus buffer with 3-state output, designed for level-shifting and bus isolation in low-voltage digital systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive at VCC = 3.0 V, achieves 2.6 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V/50 pF, and supports automotive-grade temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) per AEC-Q100 Rev. H.
For engineers reviewing the TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT datasheet, TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT pinout, TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT application, or TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT equivalent, this device serves as a high-speed, 5.5 V-tolerant, power-down protected buffer for I²C bus expansion, microcontroller GPIO extension, and mixed-voltage interface bridging where 3-state control and rail-to-rail input compatibility are required.
Technical Context
This device implements a non-inverting tri-state buffer with active-low output enable (G). Its logic function is Y = A when G = L; Y = high-impedance when G = H. Input structure supports 5.5 V tolerance regardless of VCC, enabling safe interfacing with higher-voltage controllers while powered from 1.65–5.5 V rails.
The output stage features robust ±24 mA drive capability at 3.0 V and maintains sub-3 ns propagation delay across 1.8 V–5.0 V supply conditions. Power-down protection ensures outputs remain high-impedance and inputs clamp safely when VCC = 0 V - critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down system architectures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Non-inverting 3-state buffer (Y = A when G = L; Z when G = H) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DBVR | Same SOT-25 package, 1.65–5.5 V, but rated only to +85 °C (not AEC-Q100); tPD = 3.7 ns (typ.) at 3.3 V | Lacks automotive qualification and high-temp support; suitable for commercial/industrial use only | Select when AEC-Q100 and 125 °C operation are not required - lower cost and wider distributor stock |
| 74AUP1G125GW,125 | Smaller XSON-6 (1.2 × 1.0 mm) package; 0.8–3.6 V supply; tPD = 6.1 ns (typ.) at 3.0 V; max Topr = +125 °C but not AEC-Q100 certified | Ultra-low power (ICC = 0.9 µA typ.), but incompatible pinout and narrower voltage range limits mixed-rail use | Prefer for space-constrained, battery-powered designs needing <1 µA quiescent current - not for automotive or 5 V interface |
Compared with SN74LVC1G125DBVR and 74AUP1G125GW,125, the TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Rev. H certification, –40 °C to +125 °C operation, 5.5 V input tolerance, and 2.6 ns speed - making it the only choice for automotive-grade, mixed-voltage bus buffering where reliability and timing margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT?
The TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT is rated for –40 °C to +125 °C operation and qualified per AEC-Q100 Rev. H, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and high-temperature industrial environments. This rating applies specifically to devices with ordering part number ending in J(CT, as confirmed in Toshiba's Rev. 3.0.A datasheet Section 2 and Section 8.
Does TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT support 5 V logic inputs while powered from 1.8 V?
Yes, TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT features 5.5 V tolerant inputs - meaning it accepts input voltages from –0.5 V to 6.0 V independent of VCC. When powered from 1.8 V, it safely interfaces with 5 V microcontrollers or sensors without external level-shifting circuitry, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings (Section 7) and Operating Ranges (Section 8).
What is the typical propagation delay of TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 50 pF, the TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT exhibits a typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 2.5 ns, with maximum 5.2 ns over –40 °C to +125 °C (Section 9.6 AC Characteristics). This enables reliable operation in high-speed digital interfaces such as FPGA configuration buses and microcontroller peripheral expansion.
Is TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT pin-compatible with other SOT-25 bus buffers?
TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT uses the JEDEC-standard SOT-25 (5-pin) package with pin 1 = A, pin 2 = G (active-low OE), pin 3 = GND, pin 4 = Y, pin 5 = VCC. While footprint-compatible with SN74LVC1G125DBVR and 74AUP1G125GW,125, pin assignments differ - notably, SN74LVC1G125 uses pin 2 = VCC and pin 5 = G, so direct PCB replacement is not possible without layout revision.
What protection features does TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT include for power-down scenarios?
TC7SZ125F,LJ(CT provides 5.5 V power-down protection: outputs enter high-impedance state and inputs are clamped when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-driving and latch-up during hot-swap or partial-power-down sequences. This behavior is guaranteed per Section 2 Features (item 7) and Absolute Maximum Ratings (Section 7, Note 1).
