Product details
Overview
74AHCT126D,112 from Nexperia is a quad 3-state buffer/line driver with TTL-compatible inputs, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, featuring 3.0 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V/15 pF, ±8 mA output drive, and overvoltage-tolerant inputs enabling mixed-voltage interfacing in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT126D,112 datasheet, 74AHCT126D,112 pinout, 74AHCT126D,112 application, or 74AHCT126D,112 equivalent, this device is selected for level translation between 3.3 V logic domains and 5 V legacy systems, high-speed bus buffering with controlled enable timing, and noise-immune signal routing in programmable logic I/O expansion.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT126D,112 implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-HIGH output enable (nOE), supporting simultaneous bidirectional bus control via external gating logic. Its TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V) ensure compatibility with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs.
Each channel delivers rail-to-rail CMOS outputs with guaranteed VOH ≥ 3.7 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V under 8 mA load, while input clamping current limits (±20 mA) and ESD protection (HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V) support robust operation in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5 V ±5% rails without regulation. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0 ns (typ) at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - Enables <333 MHz data throughput on single-ended buses. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA - Sustains signal integrity driving 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple 74-series inputs. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees reliable recognition of TTL-level signals from legacy peripherals. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Validated for under-hood automotive modules and industrial PLC I/O cards. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 for handling without special precautions. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max (SO14) - Supports continuous operation in sealed enclosures up to 75 °C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
74AHCT126D,112 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) package: plastic small outline, 14-lead, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, with gull-wing leads and pin 1 index marker.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | nOE (output enable) | Active-HIGH control per buffer - enables/disables output independently without affecting input state. |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | nA (data input) | TTL-compatible input - accepts 0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds; overvoltage tolerant up to 7 V. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (data output) | CMOS push-pull output - drives high/low actively or enters high-Z when nOE = LOW. |
| 7 | GND | Reference ground - must be connected to system 0 V plane; decoupling capacitor required at pin. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - requires local 100 nF ceramic bypass capacitor between VCC and GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts VI up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC - enables safe interfacing between 3.3 V MCU and 5 V sensor bus. |
| Balanced propagation delays | tPLH ≈ tPHL within 0.3 ns - eliminates duty-cycle distortion in clock distribution paths. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis ≥ 0.3 V - rejects noise spikes on slow-rising control lines like reset or enable signals. |
| 3-state output control | Enable/disable transition times <7 ns - supports glitch-free bus arbitration in multi-master systems. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for engine control units and motor drive gate drivers. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT125D,112 | Inverting output logic (nA → nY̅); identical pinout, timing, and drive strength. | Required where bus direction control relies on inverted enable logic or complementary signal generation. | Select when system architecture mandates active-LOW data path polarity or matches existing 125-based designs. |
| SN74LVC126APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); CMOS input thresholds; 3.3 V only; no TTL compatibility. | Restricted to 3.3 V-only systems; unsuitable for 5 V legacy interface bridging. | Choose only for new low-voltage designs with no 5 V components; avoid for mixed-voltage translation. |
Compared with 74AHCT126D,112, the 74AHCT125D,112 provides functional inversion without sacrificing timing or drive, while SN74LVC126APWR reduces power but forfeits 5 V interoperability - making the AHCT126 the sole choice for robust 3.3 V ↔ 5 V bidirectional bus isolation.

FAQ
Can 74AHCT126D,112 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74AHCT126D,112 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. At 3.3 V, its TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V) become unreliable, and output drive falls below specification. For 3.3 V systems, use the 74AHC126D variant instead, which has CMOS input thresholds.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The 74AHCT126D,112 is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance with guaranteed timing (tpd ≤ 9.5 ns at VCC = 5 V). Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause overshoot; for >75 pF loads, add series termination or use a dedicated line driver.
Is the SO14 package RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The 74AHCT126D,112 in SO14 (SOT108-1) packaging meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free, with matte tin lead finish and halogen-free molding compound, verified per Nexperia's compliance documentation PN-00000000000000000000000000000000.
How does the overvoltage tolerance work on the inputs?
Inputs tolerate up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC due to internal clamping diodes tied to VCC and GND. Current is limited to ±20 mA per pin (per Absolute Maximum Ratings), allowing safe connection to 5 V buses even when VCC = 3.3 V - no external resistors needed for level shifting.
