Product details
Overview
74LVC126ABQ,115 from Nexperia is a quad 3-state buffer/line driver with 5 V tolerant inputs and outputs, designed for voltage-level translation between 1.2 V–3.6 V logic domains and 5 V systems. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF partial power-down protection, and operates across –40 °C to +125 °C. Used in mixed-voltage I/O interfacing on industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC126ABQ,115 datasheet, 74LVC126ABQ,115 pinout, 74LVC126ABQ,115 application, or 74LVC126ABQ,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include 5.5 V input tolerance, 1.2 V minimum supply, IOFF-enabled hot-swap safety, propagation delay ≤6.0 ns at 3.3 V, and DHVQFN14 thermal performance.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-HIGH output enable (nOE) controlling high-impedance 3-state output. Schmitt-trigger inputs accept slow-rising signals and reject noise up to ±0.2 V hysteresis, while IOFF circuitry disables outputs and blocks backflow current when VCC = 0 V.
It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5A (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7–3.6 V), supporting interoperability across legacy and low-voltage logic families including TTL and CMOS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interface with 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic without level shifters |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to 5 V buses in mixed-supply systems |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | ≤6.0 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - supports >100 MHz data rates in buffered address/data paths |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ±10 μA max at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging backflow during live insertion or partial power-down |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 system-level robustness requirements |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads over 10 cm PCB traces |

| 1A–4A | Data input | Non-inverting input per channel; accepts 1.2–5.5 V signals with Schmitt-trigger hysteresis |
| 1Y–4Y | Data output | Buffered, 3-state output; 5 V tolerant even when VCC = 1.2 V |
| VCC | Power supply | Single supply rail (1.2–3.6 V); powers all logic and output stages |
| GND | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuits and I/O; pin 7 is functional ground |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC126APWR | TSSOP14 package (SOT402-1); 4.4 mm body width; 1.2 mm height; no exposed thermal pad | Lower thermal resistance than SO14 but higher than DHVQFN14; less suitable for high-density thermal-limited layouts | Select when board assembly uses standard TSSOP reflow profiles and thermal load is moderate |
| 74LVC126AD,118 | SO14 package (SOT108-1); through-hole compatible footprint; 3.9 mm body width; 1.75 mm height | Higher thermal resistance; requires larger PCB area; preferred for prototyping and legacy designs | Select for hand-soldered evaluation or where SOIC footprint compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with SN74LVC126APWR and 74LVC126AD,118, the 74LVC126ABQ,115 offers superior thermal performance via its exposed-pad DHVQFN14 package and smallest board footprint-critical for compact medical and automotive modules where power density and reliability under thermal stress are design priorities.

FAQ
Can 74LVC126ABQ,115 be used with a 1.2 V supply while driving 5 V-tolerant loads?
Yes. The device is fully specified down to 1.2 V supply and maintains 5.5 V input/output tolerance across the entire operating range. Output drive strength scales with VCC (e.g., ±24 mA at 3.0 V), but logic thresholds remain valid-enabling safe interface to 5 V loads without external clamping or translation.
What is the function of the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN14 package?
The exposed pad (pin 1 index area) in SOT762-1 is thermally conductive but electrically isolated. Per Nexperia guidance, it may remain floating or be connected to GND for improved heat dissipation-no soldering is required, though thermal vias to inner ground planes are recommended for sustained 100+ mW operation.
How does IOFF protection behave during power sequencing?
When VCC drops to 0 V, the IOFF circuit automatically disables all outputs and presents high-impedance I/O states-even if input or output pins are held at 5.5 V. This prevents destructive backflow current into powered-down sections, satisfying IEC 61000-4-2 hot-swap compliance requirements in modular systems.
Is the 74LVC126ABQ,115 pin-compatible with other 74LVC126A variants?
Yes-pin functions are identical across all 74LVC126A packages (SO14, TSSOP14, DHVQFN14, DHXQFN14). However, physical layout differs: DHVQFN14 has no leads and requires reflow-compatible land patterns with thermal vias, unlike SO14 or TSSOP14 which use gull-wing leads and standard stencil apertures.
