Product details
Overview
74HC126N,652 from NXP Semiconductors is a quad 3-state non-inverting buffer/line driver in a 14-lead DIP package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V with propagation delay as low as 9 ns at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 50 pF. It features independent output-enable inputs (1OE–4OE), CMOS-level input compatibility, and ±35 mA output drive capability-used for bus interfacing, data routing, and level translation in industrial control logic systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC126N,652 datasheet, 74HC126N,652 pinout, 74HC126N,652 application, or 74HC126N,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state output control timing (enable/disable times ≤32 ns at 125 °C), high-impedance OFF-state leakage <±10 µA, input clamp diodes enabling overvoltage-tolerant interfacing, and operation across −40 °C to +125 °C.
Technical Context
The 74HC126N,652 implements four independent buffer channels, each with active-HIGH output enable (nOE) controlling high-impedance tri-state output. Its CMOS input structure provides rail-to-rail voltage recognition and low input leakage (<±1.0 µA at 6.0 V), while output stages deliver symmetrical sourcing/sinking current up to ±35 mA under load.
Dynamic behavior is characterized by propagation delay (tpd), enable time (ten), and disable time (tdis) all specified across −40 °C to +125 °C, with CPD = 23 pF enabling accurate dynamic power estimation. Input transition rate limits (e.g., 139 ns/V at VCC = 4.5 V) ensure reliable switching under controlled edge rates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-backed logic rails |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 9 ns typical at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - enables high-speed data buffering in synchronous digital buses |
| Output Drive Strength | ±35 mA - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or moderate PCB trace capacitance without external buffers |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - allows safe interface to signals exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive auxiliary logic |
| Power Dissipation Cap | 750 mW (DIP14, ≤70 °C) - defines thermal derating boundary for continuous operation in enclosed enclosures |
| ESD Robustness | HBM >2000 V, MM >200 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 immunity requirements for handling and board assembly |
Pinout & Package
74HC126N,652 uses the SOT27-1 plastic dual in-line package (DIP14) with 300-mil lead spacing, 14 leads, and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is top-left corner with notch orientation marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-HIGH output enable per channel - drives corresponding Y output to high-Z when LOW |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A | Data inputs - accept CMOS-level signals; clamp diodes permit overvoltage tolerance |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Non-inverting buffered outputs - present A input state when OE is HIGH; high-Z otherwise |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system 0 V plane with low-inductance path for noise immunity |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 10 mm of this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent 3-state buffers | Enables selective bus isolation across four parallel data paths without shared control logic |
| CMOS input compatibility | VIH = 3.15 V (min at VCC = 4.5 V) ensures robust noise margin against 3.3 V logic families |
| High-impedance OFF-state | IOZ < ±10 µA at 125 °C - prevents bus contention and leakage-induced logic errors in multi-driver systems |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C - eliminates derating calculations for industrial motor control and power supply monitoring |
| Input transition rate limit | 139 ns/V at VCC = 4.5 V - constrains maximum allowable input slew to prevent internal shoot-through current |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC125N,652 | Inverting output logic (Y = NOT A) vs. non-inverting in 74HC126N,652; identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs | Requires complementary logic inversion in upstream/downstream circuitry; unsuitable where signal polarity must be preserved | Select only if system-level logic already accounts for inversion or requires active-low output behavior |
| SN74HC126N | Same function and pinout; TI version has tighter VOH/VOL min/max spread at VCC = 4.5 V (VOH ≥ 3.98 V vs. NXP's 3.84 V min) | Valid for drop-in replacement in cost-sensitive designs where marginal VOL margin at 6 mA load is acceptable | Prefer when sourcing from TI-authorized channels; verify layout compatibility with TI's DIP14 footprint variant |
Compared with 74HC126N,652, the 74HC125N,652 requires logic inversion in signal path design, while SN74HC126N offers marginally better output voltage compliance at full load but shares identical thermal and timing behavior-making both viable alternatives depending on polarity and supply-chain constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74HC126N,652?
The 74HC126N,652 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) of +7.0 V, but its recommended operating range is 2.0 V to 6.0 V. Operation above 6.0 V risks exceeding internal oxide breakdown limits and invalidates parametric guarantees. The 74HC126N,652 must not be operated continuously at 7.0 V-even briefly-as it may cause irreversible damage to the CMOS gate structures.
Does the 74HC126N,652 support TTL-level inputs?
No, the 74HC126N,652 is a CMOS-input device with VIH(min) = 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V, making it incompatible with standard TTL logic thresholds (VIH ≈ 2.0 V). For TTL-compatible operation, use the pin-compatible 74HCT126N variant instead. The 74HC126N,652 requires CMOS-level signaling or level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with legacy TTL outputs.
How does the 74HC126N,652 behave when an input exceeds VCC?
The 74HC126N,652 includes integrated input clamp diodes that safely conduct current to VCC when VI > VCC + 0.5 V, provided external current-limiting resistors are used. This allows direct interfacing with signals up to 7.0 V (absolute max) without damage-but sustained overvoltage will increase ICC and must be thermally managed. The 74HC126N,652 is not intended for continuous operation with VI > VCC.
What is the worst-case propagation delay for the 74HC126N,652 at 125 °C?
At VCC = 6.0 V and Tamb = +125 °C, the maximum propagation delay (tpd) for the 74HC126N,652 is 26 ns, as specified in Table 7 of the NXP datasheet. This value applies to the A-to-Y path under CL = 50 pF loading and represents the guaranteed upper bound for timing analysis in high-temperature industrial environments.
Can the 74HC126N,652 outputs drive LEDs directly?
Yes-the 74HC126N,652 can source or sink up to ±35 mA per output, sufficient to drive standard 20 mA LEDs with appropriate series resistors. However, total package current must remain within ICC(max) = 70 mA and Ptot ≤ 750 mW (derated above 70 °C). For multi-LED operation, verify combined output current and thermal dissipation; the 74HC126N,652 is commonly used in LED status indicator banks in industrial HMIs.
