SN74ALVC125DR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74ALVC125DR is a quadruple bus buffer gate with 3-state outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates from a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V and features independent line drivers. The device provides ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V and achieves a maximum propagation delay (t_pd) of 2.8 ns at 3.3 V. It is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package and supports an operating free-air temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'DR' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format on the SOIC-14 package. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements as indicated in the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the selected part number aligns with the required operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C for your specific application environment.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring quadruple bus buffering within the 1.65-V to 3.6-V supply range. Consider the 2.8 ns propagation delay for timing-critical paths. Evaluate the ±24-mA drive strength against load capacitance requirements. Verify compatibility with the 14-pin SOIC footprint during PCB layout planning.
