Product details
Overview
74AHC1G126DBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel CMOS bus buffer gate with 3-state output, operating across 2 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering 6 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, ±8 mA output drive, and 10 µA max ICC. It serves as a level-translating line driver in digital interface paths where bus isolation and low-power signal routing are required - e.g., between microcontroller GPIO and peripheral address/data lines.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 datasheet, 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 pinout, 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 application, or 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT-23 (DBV) package mapping, functional mode behavior, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 implements true (non-inverting) logic buffering with active-high output enable (OE), entering high-impedance state when OE = LOW. Its input structure supports 5.5 V tolerance regardless of VCC, enabling down-translation from higher-voltage domains into 3.3 V or 2.5 V logic systems.
It features balanced rise/fall times (20 ns/V at 5 V), low dynamic power consumption (14 pF typical Cpd), and robust ESD protection (±1500 V HBM). Thermal resistance is specified at RθJA = 278 °C/W for the DBV package, supporting operation from –40 °C to 85 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and brown-out tolerant operation |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - enables reliable timing in sub-100 MHz digital control paths |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS inputs or short PCB traces without external buffering |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - allows safe interfacing with 5 V logic while powered from 3.3 V or lower |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 10 µA max ICC - ensures negligible standby power impact in battery-backed or energy-sensitive designs |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including point-of-sale and motor control |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±1500 V - meets standard handling requirements without additional board-level protection |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) 5-pin surface-mount package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, 1.45 mm max height, JEDEC MO-178 compliant. Pin 1 marked via index area; tape-and-reel delivery (3000 pcs/reel, Q3 quadrant orientation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-high output enable input | Drives Y to high-impedance when LOW; ties to GND via pulldown resistor for power-up safety |
| 2 - A | True data input | Accepts 5.5 V-tolerant signals; passes through to Y only when OE = HIGH |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for logic and output current; must be low-inductance connection |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | Drives HIGH/LOW or floats (Z) based on OE; rated for ±25 mA continuous output current |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | Decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required adjacent to pin for stable switching performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 2 V to 5.5 V operation - eliminates need for separate voltage translators in multi-rail systems |
| 5.5 V-tolerant inputs | VI up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - enables direct connection to legacy 5 V buses without level shifters |
| Low dynamic power | 14 pF typical Cpd - reduces switching current and heat generation in high-frequency toggle scenarios |
| Controlled edge rates | 20 ns/V input transition rate at 5 V - minimizes overshoot/undershoot and EMI on routed signals |
| Industrial temp grade | –40 °C to +85 °C operation - certified for deployment in commercial and industrial equipment |
Applications
| Projector Control Interface | Point-of-Sale Peripheral Bus |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G126DBVR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); 3.3 V optimized; 5 V-tolerant inputs retained | Better suited for 1.8 V/3.3 V-only systems; slightly faster (5.5 ns @ 3.3 V) but less robust at 2 V | Select when primary supply is 3.3 V and 2 V operation is not required |
| 74AUP1G126GW,125 | NXP variant; ultra-low power (500 nA ICC); slower (10.5 ns @ 3.3 V); same 5 V-tolerant inputs | Optimized for always-on, battery-powered nodes; trade-off is reduced speed and narrower VCC (0.8–3.6 V) | Choose for energy-constrained IoT endpoints where microamp quiescent current outweighs speed needs |
Compared with 74AHC1G126DBVRG4, SN74LVC1G126DBVR offers tighter 3.3 V timing but sacrifices 2 V compatibility, while 74AUP1G126GW,125 achieves nanoamp standby at the cost of speed and supply range - making the original optimal for wide-voltage industrial interfaces requiring both robustness and responsiveness.

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pin on the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4?
The OE (output enable) pin on the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 is an active-high control input that determines whether the Y output drives the A input signal (OE = HIGH) or enters high-impedance state (OE = LOW). During power-up, TI recommends tying OE to GND via a pulldown resistor to ensure default isolation - a key safety measure confirmed in the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 functional modes table.
Does the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 support 5 V logic inputs when powered from 3.3 V?
Yes - the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 features 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, meaning it accepts VI up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting. When powered from 3.3 V, it safely buffers 5 V signals from legacy peripherals without damage or level-shifting circuitry, a capability explicitly verified in Section 7.3 Feature Description and Table 5.3 Recommended Operating Conditions.
What is the maximum output current rating for the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4?
The 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 supports ±25 mA continuous output current per Y pin (absolute maximum), with recommended operating limits of ±8 mA at 5 V and ±4 mA at 3.3 V per the Electrical Characteristics table. Exceeding these values risks thermal overstress or latch-up, as defined in Absolute Maximum Ratings Section 5.1.
Can the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 operate at 2 V supply voltage?
Yes - the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 is fully specified from 2 V to 5.5 V, with guaranteed functionality including 6 ns max tPD at 5 V and 9.5 ns max tPD at 2 V (per switching characteristics tables). Its wide VCC range makes it uniquely suitable for battery-powered or brown-out resilient designs where supply may dip near 2 V.
Is the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the 74AHC1G126DBVRG4 carries "Yes" for RoHS compliance in TI's official Package Option Addendum, with NIPDAU (nickel-palladium-gold) lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating. This confirms full exemption from lead-based solder requirements and suitability for modern lead-free reflow processes up to 260 °C peak temperature.
