ON Semiconductor MC74LCX125DR2G Quad Buffer

The MC74LCX125DR2G is a high-performance, quad non-inverting buffer from ON Semiconductor designed to meet the demanding requirements of advanced digital systems. This integrated circuit is part of the LCX family, which is characterized by low voltage operation and interface capability with 5V signal environments, making it suitable for mixed-voltage applications.

The device features four independent non-inverting buffer gates with 3-state outputs. Each gate is equipped with a separate output-enable (OE) input, which, when high, forces the output into a high impedance state. This feature allows for the disconnection of the outputs from the bus lines, making it ideal for bus-oriented systems where multiple devices need to share the same connection.

Constructed with advanced CMOS technology, the MC74LCX125DR2G offers optimal speed-power performance, with a propagation delay of just 3.8ns at 3.3V while maintaining low power consumption. Its power-off high impedance inputs and outputs support live insertion, which means that devices can be added or removed from a system without powering down the entire system.

The MC74LCX125DR2G operates over a broad voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V and is fully specified for hot insertion. The 5V tolerant inputs allow for direct interfacing with 5V TTL logic levels. This versatility ensures that the device can be used in a variety of applications, from personal computers and notebooks to servers and telecommunications infrastructure.

This component comes in a space-saving SOIC-14 package, which is both RoHS compliant and lead-free. The package is designed for surface mounting, which makes it suitable for high-density PCB designs. The MC74LCX125DR2G is a reliable and cost-effective solution for designers looking to improve signal integrity and drive capability in their digital systems.

Whether you're designing state-of-the-art digital devices or upgrading existing systems, the ON Semiconductor MC74LCX125DR2G offers the performance and features necessary to meet the challenges of high-speed data communication and processing.
