The 74AC125SC is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74AC family of advanced CMOS logic devices. It is a quad buffer with three-state outputs, which means it can function as a digital signal buffer and provide high-current, non-inverting buffering capabilities.
The key features of the 74AC125SC include:
1. Quad Buffer: It consists of four individual buffer gates, each capable of buffering a digital input signal and driving it to the output.
2. Non-Inverting: The 74AC125SC is non-inverting, which means the output signal reproduces the input signal without any phase inversion.
3. Three-State Outputs: The IC has three-state outputs, allowing the buffer gates to be effectively disconnected from the output bus when the output enable (OE) pin is set to a high level. This helps prevent any bus contention or interference when multiple devices drive the same bus.
4. High-Speed Operation: The 74AC125SC is designed for high-speed operation, making it suitable for applications that require fast data transfer or processing.
5. Wide Operating Voltage Range: It has a wide operating voltage range from 2V to 6V, enabling compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems.
6. Schmitt Trigger Inputs: The buffer gates have Schmitt trigger inputs, which provide additional noise immunity, making the IC more resistant to signal disturbances or voltage fluctuations
