The MC74ACT125DG is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74ACT series and is manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It is a Quad Buffer/Line Driver with 3-state outputs, designed to be used in various digital logic applications.
Key features of the MC74ACT125DG include:
1. Quad Buffer/Line Driver: The IC features four independent buffer circuits that can be used to amplify and drive digital signals. These buffer circuits provide high output current while maintaining the ability to isolate the input from the output.
2. 3-State Outputs: Each buffer in the IC has a 3-state output, allowing it to assume three different output states: HIGH, LOW, and high impedance (Z). The high impedance state is useful when multiple devices are connected together, and only one of them needs to drive the output at any given time.
3. High-Speed Operation: The MC74ACT125DG is designed to operate at high speeds, making it suitable for applications that require fast signal propagation. It has a maximum propagation delay of 9 ns, which ensures minimal time delay between input and output signals.
4. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The IC can operate within a wide power supply voltage range of 2.0V to 6.0V. This allows it to be compatible with a variety of digital systems and provides flexibility in power supply design
