Overview
The SN74LVC125APWR, produced by Texas Instruments, is a quadruple bus buffer gate designed for operation within a voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V. This device features independent line drivers with 3-state outputs, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including mixed 3.3V/5V system environments. Each output is disabled when the associated output-enable (OE) input is high, and the device ensures a high-impedance state during power up or power down by tying OE to VCC through a pull-up resistor.
