CD74HC125M96

Overview

The CD74HC125M96 is a high-speed CMOS quad buffer with three-state outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an extended temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. The device features buffered inputs and non-inverting logic. It is housed in a 14-SOIC surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a low static current of 8 µA and output drive capabilities of 7.8 mA for both high and low states.

Feature Summary

• Quad buffer configuration with three-state outputs
• Wide operating voltage range supporting 2 V to 6 V
• Extended industrial temperature range capability
• Buffered inputs for improved signal integrity

Applications

• High-speed data bus buffering
• Signal isolation in digital circuits
• Memory interface driving
• Microcontroller I/O expansion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96 against the official datasheet to confirm package dimensions and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS3 compliance requirements if applicable to your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm lead times and availability directly with the supplier prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad buffer with three-state control is required for high-speed CMOS applications. It is suitable for designs needing operation across a wide voltage range and extreme temperatures. Consider the SOIC-14 package constraints for PCB layout. Compare propagation delay and output current specifications against system requirements to ensure compatibility with other logic families in the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. The 74HC family is known for compatibility with standard TTL logic levels while offering lower power consumption. The CD74HC125 variant specifically provides four independent buffers, making it a common choice for general-purpose digital logic interfacing and signal conditioning tasks in electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives such as the CD74HC125M or CD74HC125E if the M96 suffix indicates specific packaging variations. Verify that any substitute maintains the same three-state functionality and voltage ratings. Consult the manufacturer's obsolescence notices to ensure long-term availability of replacement parts.
