74LVC single buffer in a 5-bump DSBGA — obsolete with no direct replacement on record
The SN74LVC1G125YEPR accepts a supply from 1.65V to 5.5V. The output can source or sink 32 mA per pin.
The 74LVC family's 1.65V to 5.5V supply range also means it can bridge legacy 5V logic to a 3.3V or 1.8V core without an external translator — a common need in retrofit designs.
TI lists the SN74LVC1G125YEPR as Obsolete. The 74LVC1G125 function remains widely available in larger packages (SOT-23, SC-70, SOT-553) from TI and multiple second sources, but the DSBGA-5 variant (YEP suffix) is end-of-life. Stock in the independent channel is finite and diminishing. For a production BOM line, the practical path is to qualify a pin-compatible 74LVC1G125 in a more common package such as SOT-23-5 or SC-70-5, or to source the DSBGA variant through surplus inventory while it lasts.
