DESCRIPTION
The 74VHCT125A is an advanced high-speed
CMOS QUAD BUS BUFFERS fabricated with
sub-micron silicon gate and double-layer metal
wiring C
2
MOS technology.
The device requires the 3-STATE control input G
to be set high to pla ce the output in to the high
impedance state.

Power down protection is provided on all inputs
and outputs and 0 to 7V can be accepted on
inputs with no regard to the supply voltage. This
device can be used t o interf ace 5V to 3V s ince al l
inputs are equipped with TTL threshold.
All inputs and outputs are equipped with
protection circuits against static disc harge, giving
them 2KV ESD immunity and transient excess
voltage.
