Product Overview: 74LVC125APW by NXP

The 74LVC125APW is a high-performance, low-voltage, quad buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs from NXP Semiconductors. It is designed to provide the interface between a 3.3V or 2.5V bus and a 5V bus in a mixed 3.3V/5V supply environment. Each buffer has a separate output enable (OE) input which, when high, disables the output to assume a high-impedance state. This feature allows for the use of these devices in bus-oriented applications.

The 74LVC125APW is fabricated using an advanced CMOS technology which provides the inherent benefits of low power consumption and high-speed operation. When operating at the 3.3V supply voltage, this product has a typical VOLP (output ground bounce) of 0.8V at VCC = 3.3V, TA = 25°C, and IOH = -3 mA. The device is also characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

The device comes in a TSSOP14 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) which is a space-saving and lightweight package. This makes the 74LVC125APW ideal for use in applications where board space is at a premium, such as handheld devices, portable media players, and compact embedded systems.

Key features of the 74LVC125APW include:

• 5V tolerant inputs/outputs for interfacing with 5V logic
• Wide supply voltage range from 1.2V to 3.6V
• CMOS low power consumption
• Direct interface with TTL levels
• High impedance when Output Enable (OE) is high
• Complies with JEDEC standard JESD8-7A
• ESD protection:
  • HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000V
  • MM JESD22-A115-A exceeds 200V
  • CDM JESD22-C101E exceeds 1000V

The 74LVC125APW is an essential component for designers looking to create robust, high-speed digital logic systems that require level shifting or driving capabilities. Its versatility and performance make it an excellent choice for a broad spectrum of applications.
