Product details
Overview
74AHC1G126DCKTE4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel CMOS bus buffer gate with 3-state output, designed for level-shifting 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 3.8 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) at 5 V, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). It is used in server backplane interface logic and medical patient monitoring I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 datasheet, 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 pinout, 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 application, or 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, SC-70 package layout details, real-world use cases in TV and projector video signal routing, and validated alternative parts for supply continuity planning.
Technical Context
The 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 implements true non-inverting logic with active-high output enable (OE), enabling precise control of data flow on shared buses. Its 5-pin SC-70 package integrates GND, VCC, input A, output Y, and OE - all defined per JEDEC MO-187 standard.
It features 5.5-V-tolerant inputs across its full 2–5.5 V supply range, allowing down-translation from higher-voltage logic domains into 3.3 V or 2.5 V subsystems without external level shifters. Output high-impedance state leakage is limited to ±2.5 µA over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families |
| Max Propagation Delay | 7 ns at 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures timing compliance in sub-100 MHz synchronous bus interfaces |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at 5 V - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple 74AHC inputs without fanout limitation |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - supports mixed-supply system interfacing without clamping diodes |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 10 µA max - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and medical equipment environments |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±1500 V - meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly and field service |
Pinout & Package
74AHC1G126DCKTE4 uses the SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin surface-mount package, measuring 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm (body: 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm), with gull-wing leads and JEDEC-compliant pin 1 orientation (Q3 quadrant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-High Output Enable | Drives Y to high-impedance when low; must be pulled low via resistor during power-up to prevent bus contention |
| 2 (A) | True Logic Input | Accepts 5.5 V-tolerant signals; no internal pull-up/down; requires external bias if unused |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for logic and output current; must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 4 (Y) | 3-State Non-Inverting Output | Delivers A signal when OE = high; enters high-Z state when OE = low; rated for ±25 mA continuous sink/source |
| 5 (VCC) | Power Supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range Operation | 2 V to 5.5 V enables single part to replace multiple voltage-specific buffers in multi-rail designs |
| 5.5-V-Tolerant Inputs | Allows direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers while powered from 3.3 V rails - eliminates discrete level translators |
| Low Dynamic Power Consumption | 14 pF typical power dissipation capacitance (Cpd) limits switching current and EMI in high-frequency clock distribution |
| Controlled Edge Rates | 20 ns/V input transition rate specification reduces overshoot/undershoot on unterminated PCB traces up to 10 cm |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G126DCKR | Lower VCC min (1.65 V), higher ICC (max 10 µA same), identical pinout and function | Better suited for 1.8 V systems; not recommended for 2 V-only operation | Select when design uses 1.8 V logic rails and requires tighter VIH/VIL thresholds |
| 74AUP1G126GW,125 | Ultra-low power (ICC < 0.9 µA), slower tPD (10.3 ns @ 3.3 V), same 5-pin SC-70 package | Optimized for battery-powered remote controls and IoT sensors where nanowatt standby dominates timing | Choose when >50% reduction in quiescent current justifies 30% longer propagation delay |
Compared with SN74LVC1G126DCKR and 74AUP1G126GW,125, the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 uniquely balances 2 V minimum supply, 7 ns speed at 5 V, and industrial temperature range - making it optimal for mixed-voltage embedded systems requiring robustness and timing headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current rating for the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4?
The 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 supports ±25 mA continuous output current per pin and ±50 mA total device current. At 5 V supply, it delivers ±8 mA output drive under standard switching conditions - sufficient for driving 50 Ω loads or up to 10 standard 74AHC inputs without exceeding thermal limits. Absolute maximum ratings must not be exceeded in any operational mode.
Does the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 support 5 V tolerant inputs when powered from 3.3 V?
Yes, the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level - including when powered from 3.3 V. This allows direct interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers or sensors without external level-shifting circuitry. The input structure is designed to clamp safely within absolute maximum ratings, and no additional protection components are required.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 VCC pin?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 VCC pin, placed as close as possible (<2 mm) to the pin with minimal trace length. This value is specified in TI's layout guidelines to suppress high-frequency noise and maintain stable supply during output transitions. For systems with multiple logic devices sharing the same rail, parallel 0.1 µF and 1 µF capacitors are advised to cover broader frequency suppression.
How does the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 behave during power-up and power-down sequences?
During power-up or power-down, the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 output enters an undefined state unless OE is actively controlled. TI recommends tying OE to GND through a pulldown resistor (value determined by driver strength) to force Y into high-impedance before VCC stabilizes - preventing bus contention or unintended signal coupling. The device does not include internal power-on reset circuitry.
Is the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 pin-compatible with other SC-70 5-pin logic buffers?
Yes, the 74AHC1G126DCKTE4 uses the standard SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin footprint defined in JEDEC MO-187, matching pin 1 location (Q3 quadrant), pad dimensions, and pitch. It is mechanically compatible with SN74LVC1G126DCKR and 74AUP1G126GW,125 - enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts when electrical parameters align with system requirements.
