The IC component 74AHCT125PW/C118 is a quad buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for general-purpose digital applications. Manufactured by Nexperia, this IC offers a range of features that make it suitable for various electronic circuits and systems. Here is an overview of the key features of the 74AHCT125PW/C118:
1. Quad buffer/line driver: The IC contains four independent buffer/line driver circuits, making it capable of driving four separate lines simultaneously. These buffers can be used to amplify or invert digital signals.
2. 3-state outputs: The IC provides 3-state outputs, meaning it can drive output lines to three different states - high, low, or high-impedance (disconnected). This feature is useful when multiple devices need to drive a common bus or when bidirectional communication is required.
3. High-speed operation: The IC operates at high speeds, with a typical propagation delay of 8.5 ns. This enables it to handle fast digital signals without significant delays and ensures efficient data transmission.
4. Wide supply voltage range: The 74AHCT125PW/C118 can operate with a wide supply voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V. This flexibility allows compatibility with various power supply systems and voltage levels commonly used in digital electronic circuits
