DM74ALS125 Quad 3-STATE Buffer
DM74ALS125
Quad 3-STATE Buffer
General Descript ion
This device contains four independent gates each of which
performs a non-inverti ng buffer fun ction. The o utputs have
the 3-STATE feature. The 3-STATE circuitry c ontai ns a fea-
ture that maintains the buffer outputs in 3-STATE (high
impedance state) during power supply ramp-up or ramp-
down. This eliminates bus glitching problems that arise
during power-up and power-down. To minimize the possi-
bility that two out puts will att empt t o ta ke a co mm on bus to
opposite logic levels, the disable time is shorter than the
enable time of the outputs.
Features
Advanced low power oxide-isolated ion-implanted
Schottky TTL process
Functional and pin compatible with the 74LS counterpart
Switching response specified into 500 and 50 pF load
Switching response specifications guaranteed over full
temperature and VCC supply range
PNP input design reduces input loading
Low level drive current: 74ALS = 24 mA
Ordering Code:
Devices also available in Ta pe and Reel. Spe ci fy by append ing the suffix let t er “X” to the o rdering c ode.

Absolute Maximum Ratings(Note 1)
Note 1: The Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which
the saf ety of the device cannot be guarante ed. The device s hould not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not gua rant eed at the absolute maximum rati n gs.
The “Re comme nded Operat ing Co ndition s” table will define the cond itions
for actu al device operation.
