Product details
Overview
74HC126D-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified quad buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing and signal isolation in harsh environments. It operates across 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, features CMOS input levels, and delivers propagation delay as low as 9 ns at VCC = 6.0 V - used in engine control unit (ECU) I/O expansion and CAN subsystem signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC126D-Q100 datasheet, 74HC126D-Q100 pinout, 74HC126D-Q100 application, or 74HC126D-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (ten/tdis ≤ 32 ns), AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, SO14 package thermal derating (10.1 mW/K above 100 °C), and input clamp diode support for overvoltage-tolerant interfacing.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-HIGH output enable (nOE) controlling high-impedance OFF-state. Input clamp diodes allow safe interface to signals exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
It complies with JEDEC JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V), supports TTL-level compatibility via the pin-compatible 74HCT126 variant, and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for automotive under-hood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct integration with 3.3 V and 5 V automotive subsystems without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for engine bay and transmission control module deployment. |
| Propagation Delay | 9 ns (typ.) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures timing-critical bus buffering in real-time control loops. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and short PCB traces. |
| Input Clamp Current | ±20 mA - permits robust interfacing to external sensors or legacy modules operating above VCC. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | 500 mW (Tamb ≤ 100 °C, SO14) - defines maximum continuous power before thermal derating applies. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - exceeds automotive ESD immunity requirements per ISO 10605. |
Pinout & Package
74HC126D-Q100 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-lead, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, with gull-wing leads suitable for reflow soldering and automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | nOE (1OE–4OE) | Active-HIGH output enable inputs - each controls one buffer's 3-state output independently. |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | nA (1A–4A) | Buffer input terminals - accept CMOS-level signals; internal clamp diodes protect against overvoltage. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (1Y–4Y) | Non-inverting buffered outputs - enter high-impedance state when corresponding nOE = LOW. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) 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 temperature cycling and humidity testing. |
| Input clamp diodes | Enable safe interface to voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V using external current-limiting resistors - eliminates need for discrete protection. |
| CMOS input thresholds | VIH = 3.15 V (min) at VCC = 4.5 V - ensures reliable logic recognition from 3.3 V microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 23 pF - limits switching power dissipation in high-frequency bus applications (e.g., SPI clock distribution). |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin > 1.3 V at VCC = 4.5 V - suppresses false triggering in electrically noisy engine compartments. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) I/O Expansion | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count of a 32-bit MCU to manage solenoid drivers, sensor inputs, and diagnostic LEDs.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT126D-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min at VCC = 4.5 V); identical pinout and timing. | Better suited for mixed-logic systems with 5 V TTL peripherals; slightly higher ICC at VCC = 5.5 V. | Select when interfacing legacy 5 V controllers or industrial PLC I/O cards requiring TTL thresholds. |
| SN74LVC126AQPWRQ1 | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), smaller TSSOP14 package, 32 mA drive strength. | Optimized for 3.3 V ADAS domain controllers; not rated for 125 °C operation. | Choose for space-constrained 3.3 V designs where extended temperature range is not required. |
Compared with 74HC126D-Q100, the 74HCT126D-Q100 offers broader legacy compatibility but less noise margin, while the SN74LVC126AQPWRQ1 reduces footprint and power at the cost of automotive high-temp support - making the HC variant optimal for new 5 V or dual-supply ECU designs demanding full Grade 1 coverage.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage relative to VCC?
The 74HC126D-Q100 includes internal input clamp diodes that permit VI up to VCC + 0.5 V, provided input current is limited to ±20 mA per pin using external series resistors - a key feature enabling safe interfacing with higher-voltage sensors or legacy modules without additional protection circuitry.
Can this device drive a 50 pF load at 10 MHz without signal degradation?
Yes - with CPD = 23 pF and typical propagation delay of 11 ns at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF, the device maintains clean edges and <1 ns skew across all four channels, supporting reliable 10 MHz bus operation in automotive infotainment and gateway applications.
Is the SO14 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - the SOT108-1 (SO14) package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 30 seconds, and exhibits no warpage or delamination when processed per Nexperia's recommended thermal profile for automotive-grade assemblies.
How does the 3-state enable timing affect bus arbitration in multi-master systems?
With enable/disable times (ten/tdis) of 12–32 ns across VCC and temperature, the 74HC126D-Q100 ensures rapid bus release and acquisition - critical for deterministic arbitration in LIN or custom serial buses where master handoff must occur within sub-microsecond windows to avoid collision or timeout faults.
