Quad 3-state buffer — 74HCT family, 5 V logic, wide temp range
The 74HCT125TELL-E is a quad non-inverting buffer with 3-state outputs, part of Renesas' 74HCT logic family. Each of the four elements handles one bit, giving you independent control over four signal paths on a single IC.
Active production — no obsolescence risk for new designs
Renesas lists this part as Active with a current lifecycle stage.
Package and procurement — Bulk means tube or tray
Shipped in Bulk — typically tube or anti-static tray, not tape-and-reel. If your pick-and-place line expects embossed tape, factor in a tube-to-reel transfer or order the tape variant if Renesas offers one for this die. Four buffers in one package saves board space versus discrete single-gate parts. The 3-state output lets you share a data bus between multiple drivers — set the output high-Z when the bus belongs to another device.
