Product details
Overview
74HCT2G126DC,125 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual 3-state buffer/line driver optimized for TTL-level input compatibility and industrial-temperature operation. It features two independent non-inverting buffers with separate output-enable inputs (1OE, 2OE), operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±6 mA output drive at VCC = 4.5 V, and supports −40 °C to +125 °C ambient range - enabling use in bus interface and level-shifting circuits within programmable logic controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT2G126DC,125 datasheet, 74HCT2G126DC,125 pinout, 74HCT2G126DC,125 application, or 74HCT2G126DC,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5 V), symmetrical output impedance, balanced propagation delays (tpd = 15 ns typ at VCC = 4.5 V), and VSSOP8 package suitability for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74HCT2G126DC,125 implements standard CMOS silicon with TTL-input threshold circuitry, ensuring direct compatibility with legacy 5 V TTL logic families while maintaining low static current (ICC ≤ 20 μA at VCC = 5.5 V). Its dual-channel architecture isolates signal paths, and each channel's 3-state control allows bidirectional bus sharing without external direction logic.
Input clamp diodes enable safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. The device complies with JEDEC standard no. 7A and achieves HBM ESD robustness >2000 V and MM >200 V - supporting reliable operation in industrial environments with moderate electrostatic exposure.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across standard 5 V rail tolerances in industrial systems |
| Input Thresholds (VCC = 4.5 V) | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - guarantees interoperability with 5 V TTL outputs |
| Output Drive (VCC = 4.5 V) | ±6.0 mA - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads with <30 ns propagation delay and <18 ns transition time |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns typical (nA to nY, CL = 50 pF) - enables reliable timing in 33 MHz bus applications |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive control modules and industrial motor drives |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, MM >200 V - reduces need for external protection in factory-floor I/O interfaces |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 11 pF per buffer (enabled), 1 pF (disabled) - enables accurate dynamic power estimation in battery-sensitive designs |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP8 package (SOT765-1): plastic very thin shrink small outline, 8 leads, body width 2.3 mm, lead pitch 0.5 mm, pin 1 index in lower-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low 3-state enable inputs - assert LOW to activate respective buffer output; HIGH places output in high-impedance state |
| 2, 5 | 1A, 2A | Non-inverting data inputs - accept TTL-compatible logic levels; internal clamp diodes support overvoltage-safe interfacing |
| 3, 6 | 2Y, 1Y | Buffered non-inverting outputs - deliver rail-to-rail CMOS output swing with symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system 0 V plane; serves as return path for all input/output currents |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal logic and output stages; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5 V - eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with legacy microcontrollers or FPGAs |
| Symmetrical output impedance | Matched pull-up/pull-down strength - ensures consistent rise/fall times and reduced signal distortion on shared buses |
| Balanced propagation delays | tpd variation ≤ 2 ns between channels - critical for skew-sensitive parallel data paths in instrumentation front-ends |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis and 40 % VCC noise margin - maintains logic integrity in electrically noisy PLC backplanes |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 20 μA at VCC = 5.5 V - supports always-on monitoring functions in energy-constrained edge nodes |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2G126DCUR | Wider VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); CMOS inputs only; lower ICC (10 μA max) | Not TTL-compatible; requires level translation for legacy 5 V systems | Select when interfacing with 1.8 V/3.3 V MCUs and full rail flexibility is needed |
| 74AHC2G126DC,125 | Higher speed (tpd = 9 ns typ at VCC = 5 V); CMOS inputs; wider VCC (2–5.5 V) | Lacks TTL input thresholds - unsuitable for direct connection to 5 V TTL outputs | Choose for high-speed 3.3 V systems where VIH/VIL thresholds match host logic family |
Compared with SN74LVC2G126DCUR and 74AHC2G126DC,125, the 74HCT2G126DC,125 uniquely provides guaranteed TTL input compatibility at 5 V while maintaining industrial temperature range and VSSOP8 footprint - making it the only drop-in solution for upgrading legacy 74LS244-based bus interfaces without redesigning input conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for 74HCT2G126DC,125?
The 74HCT2G126DC,125 specifies ±6.0 mA output current per channel at VCC = 4.5 V, measured under VOH ≥ 3.7 V (sourcing) and VOL ≤ 0.4 V (sinking). This rating applies across the full −40 °C to +125 °C operating range and supports reliable driving of standard 50 pF logic loads without external buffering.
Does 74HCT2G126DC,125 support 3.3 V logic inputs?
No - the 74HCT2G126DC,125 is designed exclusively for TTL-level input compatibility, with VIH = 2.0 V min and VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5 V. Applying 3.3 V logic signals may result in undefined switching behavior; for mixed-voltage systems, use SN74LVC2G126DCUR or level-shifting circuitry instead of relying on 74HCT2G126DC,125.
What is the pin 1 marking location on the 74HCT2G126DC,125 VSSOP8 package?
On the 74HCT2G126DC,125 in SOT765-1 (VSSOP8) packaging, the pin 1 indicator is a small dot or notch located in the lower-left corner of the device body, directly below the alphanumeric marking code "T26". This matches the standardized pin 1 indexing shown in Figure 4 and Figure 10 of the NXP datasheet Rev. 5.
Can 74HCT2G126DC,125 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the 74HCT2G126DC,125 is qualified for −40 °C to +125 °C operation and meets JEDEC 7A standards, making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive body electronics such as door modules, lighting controllers, and diagnostic interfaces. However, it is not AEC-Q100 qualified; for safety-critical systems, consult NXP's automotive-grade alternatives.
How does the 3-state enable function work on 74HCT2G126DC,125?
Each buffer in the 74HCT2G126DC,125 has its own active-low output enable input: 1OE controls channel 1 (pins 1A→1Y), and 2OE controls channel 2 (pins 2A→2Y). When OE is LOW, the corresponding output follows the input; when OE is HIGH, the output enters high-impedance (Z) state with leakage < ±10 μA - enabling true bus sharing without contention in the 74HCT2G126DC,125.
