Product details
Overview
74AHC126D,112 from Nexperia is a quad CMOS buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing and level translation in mixed-voltage systems. It features overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 7.0 V), Schmitt-trigger input action, and operates across 2.0–5.5 V supply range. Typical propagation delay is 3.3 ns at VCC = 5.0 V with 15 pF load - enabling high-speed data routing in industrial control backplanes and FPGA I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC126D,112 datasheet, 74AHC126D,112 pinout, 74AHC126D,112 application, or 74AHC126D,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tdis ≤ 9.5 ns), input overvoltage tolerance, rail-to-rail output swing, and SO14 package compatibility with legacy PCB footprints.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with an active-HIGH output enable (nOE) controlling high-impedance tri-state output behavior. Input overvoltage tolerance enables use as a level translator between 3.3 V logic domains and 5 V or higher signal sources without external clamping.
All inputs incorporate Schmitt-trigger action for noise immunity on slow or noisy signals, and static characteristics are specified across –40 °C to +125 °C with VIH = 3.85 V (min) and VIL = 1.65 V (max) at VCC = 5.5 V - ensuring robust TTL- and CMOS-compatible switching thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports dual-rail operation in mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V core / 5 V peripheral interfaces) |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.3 ns (typ) at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables >100 MHz data throughput in point-to-point routing |
| Output Enable Time (ten) | 3.6 ns (typ) at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures fast bus arbitration and low-latency peripheral access |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Up to 7.0 V - allows direct connection to 5 V or 3.3 V signals even when VCC = 2.0 V, eliminating level-shifter ICs |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets industrial-grade reliability requirements without external protection diodes |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, motor drives, and industrial PLC I/O cards |
| Static Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VOH/VOL - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or fan-out to ≥10 74AHC loads |
Pinout & Package
74AHC126D,112 is supplied in SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads. Pin 1 marked by notch or bevel; thermal pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | nOE (1–4) | Active-HIGH output enable inputs - each controls one buffer's 3-state output independently |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | nA (1–4) | Data inputs - Schmitt-triggered, overvoltage tolerant up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (1–4) | Buffered non-inverting outputs - fully rail-to-rail, capable of sourcing/sinking ±8 mA |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity and ESD path |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Balanced propagation delays | tpLH and tpHL match within 0.3 ns - minimizes skew in parallel data paths and clock distribution networks |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis ≈ 0.3 V at VCC = 5 V - rejects noise spikes < 15 ns and stabilizes slow-rising signals (e.g., reset lines, sensor outputs) |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | VI absolute max = +7.0 V - enables safe interface to 5 V microcontrollers while powered from 3.3 V rails |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40 °C to +125 °C - eliminates derating calculations for industrial motor control and power supply monitoring |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 40 μA at VCC = 5.5 V - reduces standby power in battery-backed I/O expanders and remote sensors |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT126D,112 | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and packaging | Better suited for interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic families where AHC's higher VIH may cause marginal switching | Select when driving from standard 5 V TTL outputs or when operating exclusively at VCC = 5.0 V |
| SN74LVC126APW | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); LVTTL input levels; TSSOP14 only; 3.7 ns tpd at 3.3 V | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems; lacks overvoltage tolerance - requires external clamping for 5 V signal ingress | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-supply 3.3 V designs where voltage translation is unnecessary |
Compared with 74AHCT126D,112, the AHC variant offers superior noise immunity and wider input voltage margin; versus SN74LVC126APW, it trades lower supply flexibility for robust mixed-voltage interoperability and extended temperature capability.

FAQ
Can 74AHC126D,112 safely interface a 5 V sensor output to a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes. Its inputs tolerate up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC, allowing direct connection of 5 V signals to the 74AHC126D,112 while powered from 3.3 V. The buffered output swings rail-to-rail (0 V to 3.3 V), matching the MCU's input thresholds without external resistors or level shifters.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive while maintaining 3.3 ns propagation delay?
The 3.3 ns typical propagation delay is specified at CL = 15 pF. At CL = 50 pF, tpd increases to 4.7 ns (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V). For loads exceeding 50 pF, signal integrity degrades due to increased rise/fall times; external series termination or buffer staging is recommended.
Does the SO14 package (SOT108-1) require thermal pad soldering or grounding?
No. The SO14 package has no thermal pad. It uses gull-wing leads only. Thermal performance relies on copper pour under the package body and short traces to ground/power planes. No special thermal land or solder paste is needed beyond standard SMT reflow profiles.
How does the Schmitt-trigger input improve reliability in noisy industrial environments?
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide ~0.3 V hysteresis at VCC = 5 V, rejecting noise spikes shorter than 15 ns and stabilizing slow-rising signals (e.g., mechanical switch bounce or thermistor outputs). This eliminates false triggering and reduces firmware debouncing overhead in PLC and motor control applications.
