Product details
Overview
74AUC1G126DCKRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel CMOS bus buffer gate with tri-state output, designed for 1.65–1.95 V operation and 3.6-V I/O tolerant inputs. It delivers ±8 mA output drive at 1.8 V, achieves 1.6 ns typical propagation delay (CL = 15 pF), and supports partial power-down via Ioff. It serves as an output-enable signal conditioner in portable audio interfaces and SSD control paths.
For engineers reviewing the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 datasheet, 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 pinout, 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 application, or 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its sub-1-V operability, 2.5 ns maximum tpd at 1.8 V, Ioff-enabled back-drive protection, 10 µA max ICC, and SC70-5 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 implements a noninverting buffer with active-high output enable (OE), where Y = A when OE = H, and Y = high-impedance when OE = L. Its balanced CMOS push-pull output stage enables symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability up to ±8 mA at 1.8 V, while standard CMOS inputs support overvoltage tolerance to 3.6 V independent of VCC.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables all I/Os when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage to ±10 µA and preventing current backflow during partial power-down. The device operates across 0.8–2.7 V supply range but is optimized for 1.65–1.95 V, with input thresholds defined as VIH = 0.65×VCC and VIL = 0.35×VCC in that range.

Use Scenario: Conditioning PWM fan speed signals from embedded controller to brushless DC fan drivers in compact industrial PCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-latency buffer isolating noisy fan driver return currents from sensitive EC GPIOs. Use Value: 1.6 ns typical tpd preserves PWM duty cycle fidelity; high-impedance state during EC reset prevents unintended fan activation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G126DBVR | Wider VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher ICC (max 10 µA same, but typical ~2 µA vs 0.5 µA for AUC); slower tpd (3.7 ns @ 3.3 V) | Better suited for 3.3-V–5-V systems; less optimal for sub-2-V domains due to higher VIH threshold | Select when operating above 2.5 V or requiring broader supply flexibility; avoid if targeting <1.95 V operation |
| NC7SZ126P5X | Same SC70-5 package; lower drive (±2.6 mA @ 1.8 V); higher max tpd (4.5 ns @ 1.8 V); no Ioff support | Lacks partial power-down protection; unsuitable for hot-swap or multi-rail isolation use cases | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-isolated 1.8-V signal routing where back-drive risk is absent |
Compared with SN74LVC1G126DBVR and NC7SZ126P5X, the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 uniquely combines sub-2-V optimization, Ioff safety, and 2.5 ns speed-making it the only choice for space-constrained, mixed-voltage SSD or portable audio subsystems requiring guaranteed high-impedance during power transitions.

FAQ
What is the recommended pull-down resistor value for OE on the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4?
The OE pin must be tied to GND through a pulldown resistor to ensure high-impedance state during power-up. TI specifies minimum resistance based on driver sink capability; a 10-kΩ resistor is commonly used and validated in application schematics. Lower values increase current draw unnecessarily, while higher values risk slow discharge under noise coupling. For 74AUC1G126DCKRG4, 10 kΩ provides robust margin against ESD-induced glitches and meets startup timing requirements.
Does the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 support true bidirectional data flow?
No, the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 is a unidirectional noninverting buffer with fixed input (A) and output (Y) terminals. It does not implement bus transceiver functionality or automatic direction control. Data flows only from A to Y when OE is high; Y enters high-impedance when OE is low. For bidirectional applications, separate transmit/receive buffers or dedicated transceivers like SN74LVC245 must be used.
Can the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 be used with a 3.3-V supply?
No-the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 is not rated for 3.3-V operation. Its absolute maximum VCC is 3.6 V, but recommended operating range is 0.8–2.7 V, with design optimization for 1.65–1.95 V. At 3.3 V, parameters like VOH/VOL, tpd, and Ioff are unspecified and may violate reliability limits. For 3.3-V systems, TI recommends SN74LVC1G126DBVR instead.
How does Ioff protection work in the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 during system sleep mode?
When VCC drops to 0 V, the Ioff circuitry in the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 actively disables all input and output buffers, limiting leakage current to ±10 µA per pin. This prevents current from flowing backward through the device-for example, from a powered 3.3-V data line into an unpowered 1.8-V subsystem. This behavior is verified across –40°C to +85°C and is critical for SSDs and portable devices implementing deep-sleep states.
Is the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 74AUC1G126DCKRG4 is RoHS compliant and features lead-free NIPDAU (nickel/palladium/gold) terminal finish. Per TI's packaging addendum, it carries MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH) and is qualified for reflow up to 260°C peak. The "G4" suffix explicitly denotes green (halogen-free, lead-free) packaging per TI's material specifications.
