The SN74(A)HCT125(N) can be wired in different ways. The diagrams show the easiest wiring by connecting unused inputs to GND and leaving unused outputs unconnected. In general:

  • Inputs 1A to 4A: connect unused inputs to GND
  • Connect the output disable pins 1OE to 4OE to GND, enabling all outputs
  • Outputs 1Y to 4Y: leave unused outputs unconnected
