The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC. 74LS125 bus buffers feature three-state outputs that, when enabled, have the low impedance characteristics of a TTL output with additional drive capability at high logic levels to permit driving heavily loaded bus lines without external pullup resistors.

74LS125 Features
- Four Independent Non-Inverting Buffer Gates
- Enabled Mode
- Fast Switching Times
- Operating Temperature up to 70°C
- Standard TTL Switching Voltages

Applications
- A buffer or a voltage buffer is used to isolate input from the output. The buffer’s output state mirrors the input state.
