SN74CBTLV1G125DBVR – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The SN74CBTLV1G125DBVR is a single, low-power, 8-bit, bidirectional, transparent latch with 3-state outputs, packaged in a space-saving 6-pin SOT-23. It operates from a wide voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V, offering significant design flexibility across various power domains. The device features a high-impedance off-state, minimizing power consumption in standby modes, crucial for battery-powered applications. Its transparent latch functionality allows data to pass directly through when enabled, simplifying data routing and reducing propagation delays compared to alternative latches requiring clock signals._x000D_

The device’s low input current (typically <1µA) and low output capacitance (<4pF) contribute to improved signal integrity and reduced noise in high-speed circuits. Common applications include data buffering, signal multiplexing, and I/O port expansion in low-power embedded systems, portable devices, and automotive electronics where space and power efficiency are paramount. Its 3-state output capability allows for easy bus sharing and system-level control. The CBTLV family's inherent ESD protection also enhances robustness in noisy environments. Designers should note its limited output current drive capability (typically 4mA) when selecting this component for high-current applications.
