SN74LV4T125: VOH min when VCC=3.3V

Part Number: SN74AVC16T245
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC2T45

The VIH of connected device has few margin when I use VCC=3.0V condition, so i would like to check if VOH could be increased when VCC=3.3V is used. 

Could you tell me what the VOH min is when VCC=3.3V?


Also I consider VCC=5V. Could you tell me if the device will work properly with 1.8V input when VCC=5V is used?

  • The actual VO value depends on the actual current. The output transistors behave pretty much like resistors, so you can interpolate from the specified VOH. If you have a CMOS input with VI < 20 µA, you will get VO > VCC − 0.1 V.

    The voltage drop decreases with increasing VCC, so for 3.3 V, it is safe to add0.3 V to the specified VOH. (However, do you know how accurate your power supply is?)

    At VCC = 5 V, VIH is 2 V. For such a large difference, better use a level shifter with two power supplies, e.g., SN74LVC2T45.
