Product details
Overview
74AHCT126D-Q100,11 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified quad buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), ±8 mA output drive, and operation from −40 °C to +125 °C. It enables bidirectional bus isolation in automotive body control modules and infotainment interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT126D-Q100,11 datasheet, 74AHCT126D-Q100,11 pinout, 74AHCT126D-Q100,11 application, or 74AHCT126D-Q100,11 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, 3-state enable timing (ten ≤ 9.0 ns, tdis ≤ 11.5 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF), SO14 package mechanical fit, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for under-hood use.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with a dedicated active-HIGH output enable (nOE) controlling high-impedance state entry/exit. Input Schmitt-trigger action ensures noise immunity on slow-rising signals, while overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 7.0 V) support mixed-voltage translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains.
Dynamic performance is specified across temperature and voltage: propagation delay tpd ≤ 7.5 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF), enable time ten ≤ 9.0 ns, and disable time tdis ≤ 11.5 ns - all guaranteed over −40 °C to +125 °C. Static parameters include VIH = 2.0 V (min), VOL = 0.55 V (max at IO = 8 mA), and ICC ≤ 40 μA (max at VCC = 5.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | AHCT - TTL-compatible input thresholds ensure reliable interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Matches standard 5 V automotive power rails; excludes 3.3 V operation unlike AHC variant. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA - Sufficient to drive 50 pF loads with <9.5 ns propagation delay, supporting medium-speed bus buffering. |
| Temperature Range | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for engine bay and transmission control unit deployment. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Enables direct connection to 5 V CMOS and TTL logic without level shifters. |
| 3-State Enable Polarity | Active HIGH (nOE) - Simplifies control logic when enabled by microcontroller GPIOs without inversion. |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Robust handling during PCB assembly and in-vehicle ESD events. |
Pinout & Package
74AHCT126D-Q100,11 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | nOE (output enable) | Active-HIGH control per buffer channel; drives corresponding output into high-Z when LOW. |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | nA (data input) | Non-inverting input for each of four buffer channels; accepts TTL/CMOS levels up to 7.0 V. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (data output) | Buffered non-inverting output; supports ±8 mA drive and 50 pF load at <9.5 ns delay. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference (0 V); must be low-impedance for stable noise margin and switching integrity. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including thermal cycling and humidity testing. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V - eliminates need for external level translators with legacy 5 V logic. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC - enables safe interfacing with higher-voltage subsystems (e.g., sensor interfaces). |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis >0.3 V typical - rejects noise on slow or noisy signal lines (e.g., switch debouncing, LIN bus stubs). |
| SO14 package with side-wettable flanks | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints - improves manufacturing yield in automotive PCBA lines. |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Instrument Cluster Interface |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT126PW-Q100 | TSSOP14 package (4.4 mm width); 7.3 mW/K power derating above 81 °C | Higher board density but lower thermal mass; less suitable for high-ambient under-hood locations | Select when PCB space is constrained and ambient temperature remains ≤85 °C. |
| SN74AHCT126QPWRQ1 | Texas Instruments part; identical AHCT logic, but VIL = 0.5 V max (vs. 0.8 V), tighter VOH/VOL specs | Marginally better noise immunity at low VIL, but requires verification of source driver compatibility | Prefer only if existing TI-based BOM mandates cross-supplier consistency and layout allows TSSOP footprint. |
Compared with 74AHCT126D-Q100,11, the PW variant trades thermal robustness for compactness, while the TI alternative offers tighter DC specs at the cost of reduced input noise margin - making the SO14 Nexperia part optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding automotive harness interfaces.

FAQ
Is 74AHCT126D-Q100,11 pin-compatible with standard 74HC126 or 74LS126?
Yes - it shares identical SO14 pinout (SOT108-1) and functional mapping with 74HC126 and 74LS126, including 1OE–1Y, 2OE–2Y, 3OE–3Y, and 4OE–4Y channel ordering. However, input thresholds differ: AHCT matches TTL (VIH = 2.0 V), while HC requires CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≈ 3.5 V at 5 V), so direct substitution requires verifying source logic family compatibility.
Can 74AHCT126D-Q100,11 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74AHCT variant is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. At 3.3 V, input thresholds become undefined and output drive degrades significantly. For 3.3 V systems, use the 74AHC126D-Q100 variant instead, which supports 2.0 V to 5.5 V and has CMOS-compatible inputs.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
It is characterized up to 50 pF (per output) with guaranteed timing: tpd ≤ 7.5 ns and tdis ≤ 11.5 ns at VCC = 5 V. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause ringing; for >60 pF loads, add series termination (22–47 Ω) near the driver output to maintain signal integrity.
Does the SO14 package support automatic optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes - the SO14 variant (SOT108-1) used in 74AHCT126D-Q100,11 features side-wettable flanks, allowing AOI systems to inspect solder joint quality on both top and side surfaces of gull-wing leads - a requirement for automotive PCBA process validation per IATF 16949.
