SN74LVC125APWTG4

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LVC125APWTG4 is a quadruple bus buffer gate with 3-state outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates from a supply voltage of 1.65V to 3.6V and features independent output-enable inputs for each buffer. The device accepts input voltages up to 5.5V, allowing compatibility with 3.3V or 5V driving devices. It is housed in a 14-pin TSSOP package and supports operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C and -40°C to 125°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'G4' corresponds to lead-free packaging and RoHS compliance requirements. Confirm the PW package designation matches the required TSSOP footprint dimensions. Ensure the temperature grade aligns with the intended operational environment specifications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a quadruple non-inverting buffer with high-impedance states is required. It is suitable for applications needing voltage translation between 3.3V and 5V logic levels. Consider the 1.65V to 3.6V supply range and the 5.5V input tolerance during system design.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LVC125A family of quadruple bus buffer gates. The 'PW' suffix indicates a 14-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP). The 'G4' suffix denotes a lead-free product that meets RoHS standards. It is designed for general-purpose digital buffering and level shifting tasks.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

How does the device handle power-up conditions?

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, the OE input should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor.

What is the maximum input voltage supported?

The inputs can accept voltages up to 5.5V, regardless of the VCC supply voltage.
