Supplier Device Package 14-TSSOP

The SN74HC125APW from Texas Instruments is a quad non-inverting buffer in the 74HC logic family. It operates from 2V to 6V, providing compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V systems. Each of the 4 channels features a 3-State output with 7.8mA drive capability, making it suitable for bus-oriented applications. The device is available in a 14-pin TSSOP package and operates over a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Its low power consumption and high-speed performance make it a versatile choice for general-purpose buffering in digital circuits.

  • Wide 2V to 6V Supply Range: Compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems, simplifying design in mixed-voltage environments.
  • Quad Independent Channels: Provides 4 buffers in one package, saving board space and reducing component count.
  • 3-State Outputs with Individual Enables: Offers flexible bus control, allowing each channel to be isolated as needed.
  • High Output Drive (7.8mA): Can directly drive LEDs and other low-power loads, reducing external components.

Multi-Channel Bus Buffering

Use the SN74HC125APW to buffer 4 separate data or control lines in a digital system. Each channel can be independently enabled or disabled, providing flexible bus management.

Level Shifting Between 3.3V and 5V

With a wide 2V to 6V supply range, this buffer can translate signals between 3.3V and 5V logic levels, making it ideal for mixed-voltage designs.

Driving LED Arrays

Each output can sink 7.8mA, enough to drive LEDs directly with current-limiting resistors, simplifying indicator circuits in control panels.

Memory and Peripheral Interfacing

Buffer address or data lines to multiple memory chips or peripherals. The 3-State outputs prevent bus contention when multiple devices are active.

Industrial Sensor Interfaces

In industrial controls, buffer signals from sensors to a PLC or microcontroller. The wide temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) ensures reliable operation in factory environments.

FPGA/CPLD Signal Conditioning

Use as an output buffer for FPGA or CPLD pins to drive longer traces or heavier loads, improving signal integrity in complex digital designs.
