Quad buffer with 3-state outputs for mixed-voltage buses
Each of the four elements handles one bit, with a supply range of 1.65V to 3.6V, making it suitable for bridging 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic domains without external level shifters. The 3-state outputs allow multiple devices to share a common bus by disabling individual channels, which is essential for multiplexed data lines in microcontroller or FPGA interfaces.
The 1.65V to 3.6V supply range covers the standard low-voltage logic rails used in modern embedded systems. At 3.3V, the buffer can drive 24 mA per output, sufficient for CMOS inputs, LED indicators, or short PCB traces. The 125°C ceiling also provides margin for self-heating in densely populated boards.
