Product details
Overview
74AHC1G126DBVTG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel CMOS bus buffer gate with 3-state output, designed for level translation and bidirectional bus isolation in low-power digital systems. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±8 mA output drive at 5 V, achieves 6 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). It is used in server motherboard I/O buffering and medical patient monitoring data path control.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 datasheet, 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 pinout, 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 application, or 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed SOT-23-5 package mapping, validated 5-pin terminal roles, real-world timing and drive specifications, and two technically documented alternative parts for system-level design continuity.
Technical Context
The 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 implements a noninverting true-buffer logic function with active-high 3-state enable (OE), where Y = A when OE = HIGH and Y = high-impedance when OE = LOW. Its input pins tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling down-translation from 5 V logic to lower-voltage domains.
It features balanced CMOS output drive, low ICC (≤10 µA), and controlled edge rates (20 ns/V at 5 V) to minimize ringing on lightly loaded traces - critical for noise-sensitive applications like patient monitoring interfaces and projector display timing control.
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 sub-100 MHz clock domain bridging |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple 74-series inputs |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - allows safe interfacing with legacy 5 V logic without level shifters |
| Quiescent Supply Current | ≤10 µA - enables always-on buffer functionality in battery-backed subsystems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and medical-grade thermal environments |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±1500 V - meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, 1.45 mm max height, 5-pin surface-mount with gull-wing leads and pin 1 index marking in quadrant Q3 per tape-and-reel specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-high 3-state enable input | Drives output Y into high-impedance when LOW; must be pulled to GND via resistor during power-up to ensure defined state |
| 2 - A | True logic input | Noninverting data source; accepts 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC value |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for logic and output current; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | Drives true copy of A when OE = HIGH; presents >10⁸ Ω impedance when OE = LOW |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Supplies internal logic and output stage; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor placed ≤2 mm from pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply voltage range | 2 V–5.5 V operation enables direct integration into 3.3 V and 5 V systems without external regulators |
| 5.5 V-tolerant inputs | Allows interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals while powered from lower VCC - eliminates need for discrete level translators |
| Low dynamic power consumption | 14 pF typical power dissipation capacitance minimizes switching current in high-frequency data paths |
| Controlled output edge rate | 20 ns/V at 5 V limits di/dt-induced EMI and reduces overshoot/undershoot on PCB traces |
| Industrial temperature rating | –40°C to +125°C operation supports deployment in uncooled medical and industrial enclosures |

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); 32 mA drive at 3.3 V; faster tPD (3.5 ns @ 3.3 V) | Better suited for high-speed 3.3 V-only systems; not recommended for 2 V operation or 5 V-tolerant inputs | Select when higher drive and speed are needed and 5.5 V input tolerance is unnecessary |
| 74AUP1G126GW,125 | Ultra-low power (ICC ≤ 0.9 µA); slower tPD (10.3 ns @ 3.3 V); VCC = 0.8–3.6 V only | Optimized for battery-powered portable displays; lacks 5 V tolerance and industrial temp support | Select for energy-constrained applications where 125°C operation and 5 V interfacing are not required |
Compared with SN74LVC1G126DBVR and 74AUP1G126GW,125, the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 uniquely balances 2–5.5 V operation, 5.5 V input tolerance, and industrial temperature range - making it the only choice for mixed-voltage, thermally demanding embedded control interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4?
The 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 supports a supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling robust interfacing with 5 V logic even when powered from 3.3 V or 2.5 V rails. Absolute maximum VCC is 7 V, but sustained operation above 5.5 V violates recommended conditions and risks reliability degradation.
Does the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 support hot-swap applications?
Yes, the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 supports hot-swap use cases through its 3-state output and 5.5 V-tolerant inputs. When OE is held LOW during insertion, Y remains in high-impedance, preventing back-driving of live buses. TI recommends tying OE to GND via a pulldown resistor during power-up to guarantee defined initial state - a key requirement for hot-plug controllers using the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4.
What is the thermal resistance of the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 in its SOT-23 package?
The 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 in DBV (SOT-23-5) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 278°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. Its junction-to-board (RθJB) is 184.4°C/W, indicating effective heat conduction through solder joints to the PCB - critical for sustained operation at 125°C ambient in compact medical or industrial enclosures.
Can the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 drive multiple 74-series logic inputs?
Yes, the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 can drive up to 10 standard 74AHC inputs (each ~1 pF load) at 5 V while maintaining specified timing. With ±8 mA output drive and 10 pF typical output capacitance, it meets fanout requirements for point-to-point or short-bus configurations up to 5 cm trace length - verified in TI's application note "Designing With Logic" for the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4.
Is the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4 is RoHS compliant and features a NIPDAU (nickel-palladium-gold) lead finish. It carries MSL Level-1 rating (260°C peak reflow, unlimited floor life) and is qualified for lead-free soldering processes per J-STD-020. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available in TI's official product folder for the 74AHC1G126DBVTG4.
