MC74LVX125M

Overview

The MC74LVX125M is a low-voltage CMOS quad buffer manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the LVX logic series. It features four non-inverting channels with three-state outputs housed in a 14-pin SOIC package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 3.6 V and supports industrial temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical specifications include a maximum static current of 4 µA and output drive currents of ±4 mA. Propagation delays are specified at 13.6 ns at 2.7 V and 9.7 ns at 3.3 V.

Feature Summary

• Provides four independent non-inverting buffer channels for signal conditioning
• Features three-state outputs to facilitate bus-oriented architectures
• Operates across a wide low-voltage power supply range
• Designed for industrial temperature environments

Applications

• Bus-oriented memory and address drivers
• Clock buffering and distribution circuits
• High-impedance state data bus transitions
• Voltage level translation between 2V and 3.6V domains

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official onsemi documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Ensure the procurement source provides valid traceability records. Confirm that the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable to your assembly process. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle status updates directly from the manufacturer before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring low-power buffering with three-state control capabilities. It is suitable for applications needing operation below 3.3 V standard logic levels. Consider the propagation delay specifications relative to your system clock speeds. Verify that the required output drive current aligns with the load capacitance and impedance of the connected circuitry.

Part Context

This component is part of the broader 74LVX125 family of quad buffers. It shares functional similarities with other LVX series devices but is distinct in its specific package configuration and manufacturing origin. The MC prefix typically denotes the automotive or specific industrial grade variant depending on the manufacturer's coding standards, though it functions as a standard LVX buffer.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 74LVX125M and 74LVX125MX from onsemi. Other manufacturers may offer compatible parts within the 74LVX125 specification, provided they match the 14-SOIC package and electrical parameters.
