Product details
Overview
74AHCT126T14-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a quadruple 3-state non-inverting buffer IC with independent active-high enable inputs, designed for 4.5V–5.5V TTL-compatible logic interfacing. It delivers ±8mA output drive at VCC = 4.5V, features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and supports high-speed data routing in bus-hold or shared-bus systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT126T14-13 datasheet, 74AHCT126T14-13 pinout, 74AHCT126T14-13 application, or 74AHCT126T14-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 3-state leakage (±2.5 µA max), propagation delay ≤5.5 ns (CL = 15 pF), disable time ≤6.8 ns, input compatibility with legacy TTL levels, and TSSOP-14 footprint suitability for space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT126T14-13 implements four identical non-inverting buffer channels, each with dedicated OE (active-high) control enabling independent tri-state management of bidirectional data paths. Its CMOS process ensures low static current (≤40 µA at 3.6V) while maintaining TTL-level input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VVIH ≥ 2.0 V).
Designed for robust operation across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), it integrates ESD protection exceeding 2 kV HBM and 1 kV CDM, and latch-up immunity >250 mA per JESD78 Class II - critical for reliability in noisy embedded control and peripheral interface environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5V logic rails and tolerance against supply ripple. |
| tPD Max | 7.0 ns @ CL = 15 pF, –40°C to +125°C - guarantees timing margin for ≤140 MHz bus operation. |
| IOH/IOL | –8 mA / +8 mA @ VCC = 4.5 V - drives standard LS-TTL loads without external buffers. |
| IOZ Max | ±10 µA @ VCC = 5.5 V - minimizes bus contention current during 3-state transitions. |
| Cpd | 14.8 pF per gate - enables accurate power estimation in high-density logic designs. |
| VIH/VIL | ≥2.0 V / ≤0.8 V - accepts standard TTL output voltages directly, eliminating level-shifter need. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial motor-control enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package: 4.9 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad optional, RoHS-compliant, halogen-free "Green" construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 (OE) | Active-high output enable | Each controls one buffer's 3-state output independently; low = high-Z, high = pass-through. |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 (A) | Non-inverting data input | Accepts TTL-compatible signals; Schmitt-trigger action rejects <1.0 V noise spikes. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 (Y) | Buffered non-inverting output | Drives up to 8 mA sink/source; high-Z state isolates bus segments during arbitration. |
| 7 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for all logic and I/O; must be low-inductance connection for signal integrity. |
| 14 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power rail for internal logic and output drivers; requires local 100 nF decoupling near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent 3-state control per channel | Enables selective bus isolation without gating clock or data lines - essential for multi-master arbitration. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides ≥0.8 V hysteresis, rejecting slow-rising or noisy signals common in cable-driven or long-trace interfaces. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Directly interfaces legacy 74LS/74ALS outputs without level translation, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Low ICC standby current | ≤40 µA over full temperature range - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes and low-power peripherals. |
| Robust ESD/latch-up immunity | HBM >2 kV, CDM >1 kV, latch-up >250 mA - meets IPC-610 Class 3 requirements for field-deployable equipment. |
Applications
| PC Peripheral Bus Interface | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT126PW | TSSOP-14, same logic function and DC specs; propagation delay slightly tighter (tPD ≤ 5.0 ns typ @ 5V). | TI part has tighter production tolerances but lacks Diodes' CDM >1 kV rating. | Select when sub-5 ns timing margin is required and ESD robustness is secondary to speed. |
| 74LVC126AT14-13 | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher IO (±24 mA); no Schmitt inputs. | Better for mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3V MCU + 5V peripherals), but vulnerable to slow-edge noise without external filtering. | Select when voltage flexibility and drive strength outweigh noise immunity needs. |
Compared with SN74AHCT126PW and 74LVC126AT14-13, the 74AHCT126T14-13 uniquely balances industrial-grade ESD resilience, TTL compatibility, and Schmitt noise rejection - making it optimal for legacy-interface upgrades where signal integrity trumps raw speed or voltage agility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74AHCT126T14-13?
The device is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with junction temperature limited to +150°C. This specification is validated per JEDEC JESD51 thermal test standards and confirmed in the DS35356 Rev. 3 datasheet Section 4 (Recommended Operating Conditions).
Can the 74AHCT126T14-13 drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes - its output drive capability of ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V meets or exceeds the input current requirements of 74LS and 74ALS families. Input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) are fully compatible with TTL output voltage levels, enabling direct interconnection without level shifters.
Is the TSSOP-14 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the 74AHCT126T14-13 is fully RoHS 2 compliant (2011/65/EU), contains no intentionally added lead, and is certified halogen- and antimony-free per Diodes' "Green" definition (<900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb). This is documented in the datasheet Notes 1–3 and verified via material declarations.
How does the Schmitt-trigger input improve system reliability?
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (~0.8 V typical), preventing multiple output transitions caused by slow-rising or noisy input edges. This eliminates false triggering in environments with long PCB traces, unshielded cables, or electromagnetic interference - a documented behavior verified in functional testing per Figure 1 load circuit conditions in DS35356.
