Product details
Overview
74AHCT2G126DP,125 from Nexperia is a dual 3-state buffer/line driver with TTL-compatible inputs and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, operating across 4.5–5.5 V supply range, delivering 8 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V/50 pF, and rated for -40 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range - used in bidirectional bus interfacing and mixed-voltage level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT2G126DP,125 datasheet, 74AHCT2G126DP,125 pinout, 74AHCT2G126DP,125 application, or 74AHCT2G126DP,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, 3-state output control timing (enable/disable < 10 ns), symmetrical output drive strength (±8 mA), and TSSOP8 package suitability for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT2G126DP,125 implements two independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-HIGH output enable (1OE, 2OE) controlling high-impedance state on respective outputs (1Y, 2Y). Input logic thresholds are fixed at TTL levels (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), ensuring compatibility with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs.
Its overvoltage-tolerant inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling safe interfacing between higher-voltage peripherals and lower-supply logic. The device uses CMOS silicon with ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM and 1000 V CDM, and latch-up immunity >100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - supports stable operation across standard 5 V rail tolerances and enables direct connection to 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Logic Type | TTL-compatible - VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - ensures reliable recognition of legacy 5 V logic signals even when powered from 5 V. |
| Propagation Delay | 4.8 ns typ @ 5 V/50 pF - enables use in high-speed data paths up to ~100 MHz clock rates with minimal timing skew. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA @ VOH/VOL - provides sufficient current to drive multiple LSTTL loads or moderate capacitive bus lines (≤50 pF). |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLC I/O, and extended-range embedded controllers. |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection of 5 V signals into systems powered at 3.3 V or 5 V without external clamping diodes. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets robustness requirements for automated assembly and field-replaceable module handling. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP8 package (SOT505-2): plastic thin shrink small outline, 8-lead, 3 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not present - optimized for thermal performance and reflow compatibility in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7 (1OE, 2OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-HIGH control: drives corresponding output (1Y or 2Y) into high-impedance state when LOW; enables concurrent bus sharing. |
| 2, 5 (1A, 2A) | Data Input | Non-inverting input for respective buffer channel; accepts TTL or overvoltage signals up to 5.5 V independent of VCC. |
| 3, 6 (2Y, 1Y) | Data Output | Buffered, 3-state output; sinks or sources up to ±8 mA; enters high-Z when OE is LOW - essential for bidirectional bus arbitration. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling and ensure stable logic thresholds. |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V) - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling within 5 mm of pin to suppress switching transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical output impedance | Ensures matched rise/fall times (<10% skew) for clean signal integrity on shared buses and differential-like routing. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5 V input signals regardless of VCC setting - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Wide temperature range | -40 °C to +125 °C operation - validated for deployment in engine control units, motor drives, and outdoor industrial gateways. |
| Low dynamic power dissipation | CPD = 10 pF per buffer - limits switching power to <100 μW at 1 MHz, supporting energy-efficient always-on interfaces. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level A - prevents destructive parasitic thyristor activation during transient overcurrent events. |
Applications
| Industrial Bus Interface | Legacy Microcontroller Expansion |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating and driving a shared 8-bit parallel bus between a modern 3.3 V FPGA and legacy 5 V peripheral ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual 3-state buffer providing direction-controlled signal pass-through with simultaneous enable/disable coordination. Use Value: Eliminates bus contention via precise OE timing (ten/tdis < 10 ns), while overvoltage tolerance prevents damage from 5 V signals applied to 3.3 V domain. |
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count of an 8051-based controller by connecting additional I/O expanders or display drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating buffer stage that converts 5 V TTL outputs to compatible drive strength for downstream CMOS loads. Use Value: TTL input thresholds guarantee reliable recognition of 8051's 5 V outputs; ±8 mA drive supports fan-out of 10 LSTTL loads. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal conditioning and isolation buffer with high-temp reliability and ESD-hardened I/O for under-hood placement. Use Value: -40 °C to +125 °C rating and >2000 V HBM ESD withstand ensure uninterrupted operation in harsh thermal/electrical environments. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing between CPLD configuration logic and external memory or communication peripherals in a compact embedded system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Timing-critical bus driver managing address/data strobes with sub-10 ns enable/disable transitions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT2G126DC | VSSOP8 package (2.3 mm width); identical electrical specs and pinout mapping but smaller footprint and higher thermal resistance. | Better suited for ultra-dense layouts where board area is constrained, but requires tighter reflow profile control due to finer pitch (0.5 mm). | Select when PCB real estate is critical and thermal load is light; verify solder paste volume and stencil aperture for 0.5 mm pitch. |
| SN74LVC2G126DBVR | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min at VCC = 3.3 V); operates down to 1.65 V; lower drive (±24 mA) but higher ICC leakage at 125 °C. | Optimized for 1.8 V/3.3 V systems only; lacks overvoltage tolerance - requires external protection if interfacing with 5 V signals. | Choose for pure low-voltage designs needing wider VCC range; avoid in mixed-voltage or 5 V-tolerant applications. |
Compared with 74AHCT2G126DC, the 74AHCT2G126DP,125 offers better thermal dissipation in TSSOP8 and easier reworkability, while SN74LVC2G126DBVR trades overvoltage safety for lower-voltage flexibility - making DP the preferred choice for ruggedized 5 V interface layers.

FAQ
Can 74AHCT2G126DP,125 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74AHCT variant requires minimum 4.5 V VCC for guaranteed TTL input threshold compliance (VIH ≥ 2.0 V). At 3.3 V, input recognition fails; use 74AHC2G126DP instead for CMOS-level compatibility down to 2.0 V.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive while maintaining timing specs?
The datasheet specifies timing parameters up to 50 pF load capacitance. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may violate setup/hold margins; for heavier loads, add series termination or use a higher-drive buffer like 74AHCT541.
Is the TSSOP8 package (SOT505-2) lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - Nexperia confirms SOT505-2 packaging for 74AHCT2G126DP,125 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC requirements, with lead-free matte tin terminations and halogen-free molding compound.
How does the 3-state enable timing affect bus arbitration in multi-driver systems?
With ten = 5.1 ns and tdis = 6.1 ns max at 5 V, the 74AHCT2G126DP,125 ensures rapid, glitch-free bus release - critical when coordinating with other drivers (e.g., microcontroller GPIO or transceivers) to prevent short-duration contention spikes.
