SN74LV4T125PWREP

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LV4T125PWREP is a single-supply quadruple buffer translator with 3-state outputs. It operates within a voltage range of 1.6V to 5.5V and supports temperatures from -55°C to +125°C. The device performs the Boolean function Y = A, enabling level translation between 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V CMOS levels. It features 5.5V tolerant inputs for down-translation and reduced input thresholds for up-translation. Packaged in a 14-pin TSSOP, it offers propagation delays ranging from approximately 4ns to 46ns depending on load and supply voltage.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EP' indicates enhanced performance specifications, including extended temperature ranges and reliability standards, distinct from standard commercial variants. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint and that the ordering information aligns with the manufacturer's current datasheet revisions to ensure compatibility with existing designs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing circuits requiring bidirectional level shifting between disparate voltage domains such as 1.8V and 5V. Ensure the application does not exceed the maximum capacitive load recommendations to maintain signal integrity. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics if multiple devices are densely packed on the board.
