Technical Specifications

The 74LVX125 operates with a supply voltage range of 2.0V to 5.5V. It utilizes CMOS technology for low power consumption and high noise immunity. The 3-state outputs are controlled by an output enable (OE) input. When OE is low, the output is enabled, passing the input signal through the buffer. When OE is high, the output is in a high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting the buffer from the output. The inputs are TTL compatible, meaning they can be driven by TTL logic levels. The propagation delay is short. It comes in various packages like SOIC and DIP. It is commonly used in applications requiring buffering of digital signals or for interfacing between different logic levels.
