Product details
Overview
74LVC126APW,118 from Nexperia is a quad 3-state buffer/line driver with 5 V tolerant inputs and outputs, operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, supporting mixed-voltage translation between 3.3 V and 5 V systems, featuring Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity and IOFF partial power-down protection. It is used in bus interface, level-shifting, and signal routing applications in industrial control and embedded peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC126APW,118 datasheet, 74LVC126APW,118 pinout, 74LVC126APW,118 application, or 74LVC126APW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include 5 V tolerance on all I/O pins, guaranteed operation down to 1.2 V supply, -40 °C to +125 °C temperature range, TSSOP14 package footprint, and IOFF-enabled safe power sequencing in hot-swap or partial-power-down systems.
Technical Context
The device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with an active-HIGH output enable (nOE) controlling high-impedance (Z) state on the corresponding output (nY). Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (typ. 0.3 V at VCC = 3.3 V), enabling robust operation with slow-rising signals from microcontrollers or legacy logic.
IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current up to ±50 mA even when input/output pins are driven to 5.5 V - critical for system-level power sequencing and JTAG/boundary-scan interconnects where supply domains power up/down asynchronously.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 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 families without level shifters. |
| I/O voltage tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to 5 V buses while powered from 3.3 V or lower, eliminating external clamping diodes. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 1.0 ns to 6.0 ns (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V) - supports >100 MHz data rates in buffered address/data lines with tight timing margins. |
| IOFF leakage current | ±10 μA max at VCC = 0 V, VI/VO = 5.5 V - ensures <100 μW standby power in unpowered subsystems during partial shutdown. |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications without derating. |
| ESD protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 requirements for board-level ESD robustness. |
| Input hysteresis | Typ. 0.3 V at VCC = 3.3 V - rejects noise on long PCB traces or cables without external RC filtering. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT402-1); 14-pin, 0.65 mm pitch, body width 4.4 mm, height 1.2 mm, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 (1OE–4OE) | Output enable input | Active-HIGH control per buffer; drives corresponding output (nY) to high-impedance when LOW. |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 (1A–4A) | Data input | Non-inverting input with Schmitt-trigger action; accepts 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC level. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 (1Y–4Y) | Data output | 3-state CMOS output; sinks/source up to ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V; IOFF active when VCC = 0 V. |
| 7 | GND | Reference ground for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise. |
| 14 | VCC | Core supply rail (1.2–3.6 V); decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V tolerant I/O | Inputs and outputs withstand 0–5.5 V continuously - enables direct interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals without external translators. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Outputs automatically enter high-Z and block backflow current when VCC = 0 V - essential for hot-plug and multi-rail power sequencing. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Input hysteresis ≥0.3 V at 3.3 V - eliminates need for external RC filters on noisy or slow-rising control lines (e.g., reset, enable). |
| Wide VCC range | Operates from 1.2 V to 3.6 V - supports ultra-low-power modes (1.2 V core) while maintaining full 5 V I/O compatibility. |
| JEDEC-compliant | Meets JESD8-7A (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5A (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7–3.6 V) - ensures interoperability across voltage-tiered logic families. |

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 (TI) | Identical electrical specs and pinout; same 1.2–3.6 V VCC range, 5 V tolerant I/O, and IOFF support; slightly higher max tpd (6.5 ns vs. 6.0 ns at 3.3 V). | Qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (-40 °C to +105 °C) only; lacks official -40 °C to +125 °C rating for extended industrial use. | Select when TI supply chain preference or dual-sourcing is required; verify thermal derating for >105 °C ambient operation. |
| 74ALVC126PW,118 (Nexperia) | Higher speed: tpd ≤ 3.2 ns at 3.3 V; identical VCC range and I/O tolerance; no IOFF - outputs float (not actively disabled) when VCC = 0 V. | Not suitable for partial power-down systems; requires external pull-downs or isolation FETs to prevent backfeed in hot-swap scenarios. | Choose only for speed-critical designs where full power is always present; avoid in systems with dynamic rail sequencing or battery backup domains. |
Compared with SN74LVC126APWR, the 74LVC126APW,118 offers broader temperature qualification and tighter timing; versus 74ALVC126PW,118, it trades 2.5 ns speed for critical IOFF safety in multi-rail environments - making it the default choice for industrial and infrastructure applications requiring robust power sequencing.

FAQ
Can 74LVC126APW,118 safely interface a 3.3 V microcontroller with a 5 V LCD display module?
Yes. Its 5 V tolerant inputs and outputs allow direct connection without level shifters: drive the display's 5 V data/control lines from the MCU's 3.3 V GPIO, and accept 5 V status signals back. The device operates at 3.3 V VCC while tolerating 0–5.5 V on all pins, and its Schmitt-trigger inputs reject noise from display backlight switching.
Does 74LVC126APW,118 support hot-swap insertion into a live 5 V backplane?
No - hot-swap insertion is unsafe. While IOFF blocks backflow when VCC = 0 V, the device lacks built-in hot-swap protection (e.g., slew-rate limiting, fault reporting). Insertion while powered can cause supply rail droop or transient overcurrent. Use dedicated hot-swap controllers or sequenced power enable circuits before connecting.
What is the maximum capacitive load the outputs can drive while maintaining specified timing?
Per Nexperia's test conditions (Table 9), the device is characterized with 30 pF (VCC ≤ 2.7 V) or 50 pF (VCC ≥ 2.7 V) load capacitance. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may violate setup/hold times; for >100 pF loads, add series termination or reduce trace length to maintain signal integrity.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the TSSOP14 package electrically connected?
No. The exposed pad in SOT402-1 (TSSOP14) is a mechanical thermal enhancement only - it has no electrical connection to GND or any internal node. It may be left floating or soldered to a non-connected copper pour for improved thermal dissipation; do not tie it to GND unless confirmed by package-specific documentation.
