The SN74LV125AD is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the wide array of SN74LV family. It is a quad buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, specifically designed to work with low-voltage digital systems. With its versatile functionality, it is commonly used in various electronic devices and applications.
Key Features:
1. Quad Buffer/Driver: The IC consists of four independent buffer/drivers, each capable of driving one digital signal.
2. 3-State Outputs: The outputs of each buffer/driver can be independently enabled or disabled, providing a high-impedance state when disabled. This allows for effective bus sharing and reduces the possibility of bus contention issues.
3. Low-Voltage Operation: The SN74LV125AD is designed to operate at a low supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V. This makes it suitable for use in low-power applications, extending battery life and reducing power consumption.
4. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The IC employs Schmitt-trigger inputs, which provide hysteresis and allow for greater noise immunity. This feature ensures reliable operation even in the presence of signal noise or disturbances
