Product details
Overview
74HC126PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified quad 3-state buffer/line driver with CMOS input levels, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, supporting -40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and delivering propagation delay as low as 9 ns at VCC = 6.0 V (CL = 50 pF), used for bidirectional bus interfacing in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC126PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HC126PW-Q100 pinout, 74HC126PW-Q100 application, or 74HC126PW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (ten/tdis ≤ 32 ns), high-impedance leakage (IOZ ≤ ±10 μA), AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and TSSOP14 thermal derating (7.3 mW/K above 81 °C).
Technical Context
This device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-HIGH output enable (nOE) controlling high-impedance OFF-state. Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages 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 inputs only in the 74HCT variant, and exhibits latch-up immunity >100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 9 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures sub-10 ns signal routing for high-speed bus buffering |
| Enable/disable time (ten/tdis) | 12 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - guarantees fast bus arbitration and contention avoidance in multiplexed systems |
| Output drive strength | ±6.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads across automotive temperature range |
| Input leakage (II) | ±0.1 μA (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - minimizes standby current in always-on vehicle modules |
| Off-state output current (IOZ) | ±0.5 μA (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - maintains clean bus isolation during tri-state operation |
| Power dissipation capacitance (CPD) | 23 pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N) |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT402-1), 14-lead, body width 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm lead pitch, optimized for high-density automotive PCB layouts with improved thermal performance over SO14 (derates 7.3 mW/K above 81 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | nOE (output enable) | Active-HIGH control per buffer; LOW forces corresponding Y output into high-impedance state |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | nA (data input) | CMOS-level input accepting 0–VCC swing; includes clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (data output) | Non-inverting buffered output with 3-state capability; drives bus or downstream logic |
| 7 | GND | Reference ground (0 V); must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise |
| 14 | VCC | Primary supply rail; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for -40 °C to +125 °C operation in safety-critical automotive ECUs and ADAS subsystems |
| Wide VCC range (2.0–6.0 V) | Eliminates need for separate voltage translators when interfacing mixed-supply subsystems (e.g., 3.3 V MCU to 5 V sensor bus) |
| Input clamp diodes | Enables robust 12 V tolerant input protection using external series resistors - critical for LIN/CAN node I/O conditioning |
| Low ICC (8.0 μA typ) | Reduces quiescent current in always-on vehicle networks (e.g., door module wake-up circuits) |
| High noise immunity | VIH/VIL margins exceed 30% of VCC across full temperature range - suppresses EMI-induced glitches in under-hood environments |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Bus Interface | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT126PW-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), identical pinout and timing | Better suited for legacy 5 V TTL logic interfacing; higher input current draw vs. HC version | Select when driving from 5 V microcontrollers or legacy peripherals with TTL output thresholds |
| SN74LVC126APWR | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower VCC max, higher speed (tpd = 4.2 ns @ 3.3 V) | Not qualified to AEC-Q100; limited to non-safety-critical infotainment subsystems | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs requiring faster propagation but no automotive qualification |
Compared with 74HC126PW-Q100, the 74HCT126PW-Q100 offers seamless integration with 5 V TTL sources but increases static power consumption, while the SN74LVC126APWR delivers superior speed at 3.3 V yet lacks automotive qualification and wide-VCC flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) is +7.0 V, but recommended continuous operation is limited to 2.0–6.0 V per JEDEC JESD7A. Exceeding 6.0 V risks accelerated parametric drift and reduced lifetime, especially at elevated temperatures. Operation at 7.0 V is permitted only for transient conditions not exceeding 200 ms.
Can this device drive a 50 Ω transmission line directly?
No - the 74HC126PW-Q100 is not designed for 50 Ω line driving. Its typical output impedance is ~50 Ω only near rail transitions, and sustained 50 Ω loading exceeds its ±35 mA absolute maximum output current rating. For controlled-impedance traces, use external series termination (e.g., 33 Ω resistor) or dedicated line drivers.
How does the input clamp diode affect system-level ESD protection design?
The internal clamp diodes provide basic protection up to ±20 mA (per JESD7A), but they are not substitutes for external TVS devices. When interfacing to pins exposed to ISO 10605 or IEC 61000-4-2 ESD events, external 100 Ω current-limiting resistors plus a 15 kV-rated TVS diode remain mandatory to prevent latch-up or permanent damage.
Is there any functional difference between the SO14 (74HC126D-Q100) and TSSOP14 (74HC126PW-Q100) packages?
No functional difference exists - both share identical electrical specifications, timing, and logic behavior. The TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) offers smaller footprint and better thermal resistance (7.3 mW/K derating above 81 °C) versus SO14 (10.1 mW/K above 100 °C), making it preferable for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive modules.
