Enhanced product 4-ch, 2.7-V to 3.6-V buffers with bus-hold, TTL-compatible CMOS inputs and 3-state

This bus buffer is designed specifically for low-voltage (3.3-V) VCC operation, but with the capability to provide a TTL interface to a 5-V system environment.

The SN74LVT125 features independent line drivers with 3-state outputs. Each output is in the high-impedance state when the associated output-enable (OE) input is high.

Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pullup or pulldown resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.

This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
