The MC74VHCT125A is a high speed CMOS quad bus buffer fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology. It achieves high speed operation similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining CMOS low power dissipation.
The MC74VHCT125A requires the 3−state control input (OE) to be set High to place the output into the high impedance state. The VHCT inputs are compatible with TTL levels. This device can
be used as a level converter for interfacing 3.3 V to 5.0 V, because it has full 5.0 V CMOS level output swings.
