Product details
Overview
74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel 3-state bus buffer gate with TTL-compatible inputs, operating at 4.5–5.5 V, delivering ±8 mA output drive, 6 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, and 10 µA max quiescent current. It serves as a level-translating line driver in 5 V digital bus interfaces where controlled output enable and low-power tri-state isolation are required.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 datasheet, 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 pinout, 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 application, or 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 equivalent, this device is selected for 5 V logic buffering with precise OE-controlled high-impedance state, TTL input compatibility, and minimal output ringing in motor control and server motherboard signal routing.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 implements a true non-inverting buffer with active-high output enable (OE), enabling data pass-through from A to Y only when OE is high; otherwise, Y enters high-impedance state. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) support reliable interfacing with legacy 3.3 V logic driving into 5 V systems.
Designed for CMOS operation with balanced rise/fall times, it features slow edge rates to suppress output ringing under light loads, and includes latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD17. Thermal resistance RθJA is 278 °C/W in its SOT-23 (DBV) package, supporting operation from –40 °C to 125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6 ns at 5 V - enables timing-critical bus buffering in sub-100 MHz digital interfaces. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at 5 V - sufficient to drive standard 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple 74-series inputs without external buffers. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL voltage levels (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) - allows direct connection to 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters. |
| Quiescent Current | 10 µA max ICC - supports low-power standby modes in always-on embedded systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor control environments. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level robustness in handling and assembly. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) 5-pin plastic package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, 1.45 mm max height, lead pitch 0.95 mm, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-high output enable input | Drives Y to high-Z when low; ties to GND via pulldown resistor for power-up safety. |
| 2 - A | Buffer input | Accepts TTL-compatible signals; true logic level passed to Y when OE is high. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry and output current; must be low-impedance. |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | Provides inverted-logic-free output; high-Z state prevents bus contention in shared-data applications. |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | Requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Slow edge rate control | Reduces output ringing and EMI on PCB traces, critical for clean signal integrity in graphics card and ADAS sensor interfaces. |
| TTL-input compatibility | Enables seamless 3.3 V → 5 V up-translation without external level shifters in mixed-voltage server motherboards. |
| High-impedance output state | Prevents bus contention in multi-driver configurations such as motor drive control buses and DLP projection data lanes. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - ensures reliability during transient overvoltage events in industrial motor controls. |
| Low dynamic power | 14 pF typical power dissipation capacitance (Cpd) - minimizes switching current in high-frequency clock distribution paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT1G125DBVRE4 | Inverting buffer (A → Y̅); identical voltage, speed, drive, and package. | Required where logic inversion is acceptable or needed in signal chain. | Select when system-level timing or polarity constraints mandate inverted output behavior. |
| 74LVC1G126GV,125 | 3.3 V only (1.65–5.5 V), lower VIL/VIH (0.7/1.7 V), 3.7 ns tPD at 3.3 V. | Better suited for 3.3 V-native systems; not drop-in for 5 V-only designs. | Choose for mixed-voltage domains with tighter noise margins and faster switching below 5 V. |
Compared with SN74AHCT1G125DBVRE4, the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 provides non-inverting functionality essential for transparent data routing; versus 74LVC1G126GV,125, it guarantees full 5 V operation and TTL compatibility but trades off some speed and voltage flexibility.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 1 (OE) on the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4?
Pin 1 is the active-high output enable (OE) input. When OE is high, the device passes the A input signal to the Y output; when OE is low, Y enters high-impedance state. For safe power-up, TI recommends tying OE to GND via a pulldown resistor. This behavior is explicitly defined in the Function Table (Table 7-1) of the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 datasheet.
Does the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 support 3.3 V input logic levels?
Yes - the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 has TTL-compatible inputs with VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V, allowing reliable recognition of 3.3 V logic highs and lows when powered at 5 V. This enables direct 3.3 V-to-5 V up-translation without external level shifters, as confirmed in Section 7.3 and Table 5.3 of the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 datasheet.
What is the maximum output current rating for the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4?
The 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 supports ±8 mA DC output current per pin (IOL/IOH) under recommended operating conditions, with absolute maximum continuous output current rated at ±25 mA. Total device current (VCC/GND) must not exceed ±50 mA. These values are specified in Sections 5.3 and 5.5 of the official 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 datasheet.
Is the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 suitable for automotive applications?
The 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 is not AEC-Q200 qualified; however, TI offers the pin-compatible automotive-grade variant SN74AHCT1G126-Q1, which is qualified for high-reliability automotive use. The 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 operates from –40 °C to +125 °C and meets industrial requirements, but lacks automotive-specific qualification testing and documentation per the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 product folder.
What package type does the 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4 uses the SOT-23 (DBV) package: 5-pin, 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm body size, 1.45 mm max height, 0.95 mm lead pitch. It features NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 rating, and RoHS compliance - all verified in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM for 74AHCT1G126DBVRE4.
