The NC7WZ125K8XNL is a dual non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-STATE outputs from ON Semiconductor (formerly Fairchild Semiconductor). This device is designed to improve the driving capability of signals and to isolate portions of a system. The 3-STATE outputs allow multiple devices to share a common bus.

Applications

• Memory Interfacing: Used to buffer signals between a memory controller and memory devices.
• Bus Driving: Provides increased current drive for signals on a shared bus.
• Address Decoding: Can be used in address decoding logic to enable or disable memory regions.
• Data Routing: Directs data signals to different parts of a system.
• Isolation: Isolates different sections of a circuit from each other, preventing signal interference.

Features

• Dual Buffer/Line Driver: Contains two independent non-inverting buffers/line drivers.
• 3-STATE Outputs: Allows multiple devices to share a common bus.
• Wide Operating Voltage Range: Operates from 1.65V to 5.5V.
• Low Power Consumption: Minimizes power usage in battery-powered applications.
• Small Footprint: Available in a space-saving 8-lead MicroPak package.
• High Speed Performance: Offers fast propagation delay for quick signal processing.
• Pb-Free Package: RoHS compliant.

Benefits

• Improved Signal Integrity: Buffers signals to reduce noise and distortion.
• Increased Driving Capability: Provides sufficient current to drive multiple loads.
• Bus Sharing: 3-STATE outputs enable multiple devices to share a common bus.
• Reduced Board Space: The small package size minimizes the overall board space required.
• Low Power Consumption: Extends battery life in portable devices.

Additional Details

The NC7WZ125K8XNL is fabricated using advanced silicon gate CMOS technology. Each buffer features a high-impedance output state when the output enable (OE) input is HIGH. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C. It is commonly used in applications where increased signal driving capability and bus sharing are required.
