Product details
Overview
74AHC1G126GM,115 from Nexperia is a single CMOS bus buffer/line driver with 3-state output and overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), designed for level translation in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and delivers 8.0 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V with 15 pF load - used in I²C bus isolation, microcontroller GPIO expansion, and low-power sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC1G126GM,115 datasheet, 74AHC1G126GM,115 pinout, 74AHC1G126GM,115 application, or 74AHC1G126GM,115 equivalent, this device serves as a compact, rail-to-rail compatible unidirectional buffer enabling voltage domain bridging between 1.8 V/3.3 V logic and 5 V peripherals while maintaining low static current (≤40 μA) and high noise immunity.
Technical Context
This device implements a single non-inverting buffer with active-low 3-state enable control (OE), where output Y follows input A when OE is LOW and enters high-impedance state when OE is HIGH. Its overvoltage-tolerant inputs allow direct connection to 5.5 V signals even when VCC = 2.0 V, eliminating external level-shifting components.
The XSON6 (SOT886) package features six terminals - including dedicated VCC, GND, A, OE, Y, and one no-connect (n.c.) - with thermal-enhanced construction (1.0 × 1.45 × 0.5 mm body) optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated optical inspection via side-wettable flank compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without external regulators. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - permits safe interfacing with higher-voltage buses (e.g., legacy 5 V I²C) while powered from lower rails. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | Typ. 4.4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >100 MHz data rates in short-run digital interconnects. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and moderate-capacitance traces without signal degradation. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | Max 40 μA at -40 °C to +125 °C - ensures minimal power impact in always-on industrial monitoring nodes. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLC I/O, and outdoor edge sensors. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - reduces susceptibility to handling damage during SMT assembly and field maintenance. |
Pinout & Package
XSON6 (SOT886) plastic extremely thin small outline package: 1.0 mm × 1.45 mm × 0.5 mm body, no leads, 6 terminals, exposed thermal pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | Data input - accepts overvoltage-tolerant logic signals up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting. |
| 2 | OE | Active-low output enable - drives Y into high-Z when HIGH; synchronizes bus release timing in multi-driver systems. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling into sensitive analog sections. |
| 4 | n.c. | No connect - terminal is internally unconnected and must remain floating; no PCB trace or solder mask required. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 2 mm for stable high-speed operation. |
| 6 | Y | 3-state buffered output - provides symmetrical rise/fall times and matched impedance for clean signal integrity on shared lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical output impedance | Enables matched rise/fall times (<10% skew) critical for setup/hold timing compliance in synchronous interfaces. |
| Balanced propagation delays | Ensures consistent tPLH/tPHL matching (≤0.5 ns variation) across temperature, simplifying timing margin analysis. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Eliminates need for external clamping diodes or resistive dividers when interfacing 5 V sensors with 3.3 V MCUs. |
| Wide temperature qualification | Validated operation from -40 °C to +125 °C supports deployment in automotive engine control units and industrial motor drives. |
| Low dynamic power dissipation | CPD = 9 pF enables sub-1 mW dynamic consumption at 10 MHz toggle rate, extending battery life in portable instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT1G126GM,115 | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min), slightly higher ICC (max 40 μA same temp range) | Better suited for legacy 5 V controller interfaces requiring strict TTL logic levels | Select when interfacing with older microcontrollers lacking CMOS-level input sensitivity |
| SN74LVC1G126DBVR | Narrower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V), lower tpd (3.5 ns typ @ 3.3 V), but no overvoltage tolerance beyond VCC + 0.3 V | Preferred for ultra-low-delay paths in 1.8 V/3.3 V-only systems with tight timing budgets | Choose only if overvoltage tolerance is unnecessary and propagation delay is the dominant constraint |
Compared with 74AHCT1G126GM,115, the AHC variant offers superior noise margins in mixed-signal environments; versus SN74LVC1G126DBVR, it trades 1.1 ns speed for robust 5.5 V input tolerance - making it the only choice for retrofitting 5 V peripherals onto modern low-voltage platforms.

FAQ
Can 74AHC1G126GM,115 be used with VCC = 1.8 V?
No. The absolute minimum supply voltage is 2.0 V per the recommended operating conditions table. At 1.8 V, VIH and VOL specifications fall outside guaranteed limits, risking logic misreads and excessive output voltage drop. For 1.8 V systems, consider SN74LVC1G126 or 74LVC1G125 variants explicitly rated down to 1.65 V.
What is the function of the n.c. pin in the XSON6 package?
Pin 4 is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating - no PCB trace, solder mask opening, or thermal pad connection is required. It serves solely as a mechanical alignment marker during pick-and-place and does not affect electrical performance or thermal behavior.
Is the 74AHC1G126GM,115 suitable for bidirectional data transfer?
No. This is a unidirectional buffer: A → Y only. Bidirectional operation requires separate transmit/receive paths or a dedicated bus transceiver like 74LVC245. Attempting to force reverse current through Y may exceed IO ratings and cause latch-up or permanent damage.
How does overvoltage tolerance work without external protection?
Internal input structures include integrated clamp diodes and thick-oxide gate design that safely shunt currents up to ±20 mA (per Absolute Maximum Ratings) when VI exceeds VCC or drops below GND - verified by JESD78 Class II Level A latch-up testing (>100 mA stress).
