At RGB2Go, we use the SN74AHCT125 as a reliable data-level shifter to help your light show go the distance—literally. This little chip takes standard 3.3V logic (like that from an ESP32 or other controller) and shifts it up to 5V, providing a stronger, cleaner signal that can travel farther before data degradation occurs.
Ideal for improving signal integrity on long data runs or when driving multiple pixel strings, the SN74AHCT125 ensures your LEDs stay perfectly in sync—without flicker or dropout.
Key Features:
-
Converts 3.3V logic to 5V for longer data runs
-
Quad buffer design for up to four channels
-
Compact and efficient with low propagation delay
-
Used in all of our RGB2Go controllers for enhanced performance
Perfect for:
Those looking to replace the level shifter on their RGB2Go controllers - or DIY builders, advanced display designers, and anyone pushing the limits of pixel data reliability.
