Product details
Overview
74LVC1G126DCKTG4 from Texas Instruments is a single non-inverting bus buffer gate with 3-state output, designed for level translation and bidirectional bus isolation in low-voltage digital systems. It operates from 1.65V to 5.5V VCC, accepts inputs up to 5.5V, delivers ±24mA drive at 3.3V, achieves 3.7ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, and supports Ioff for live insertion in partial-power-down systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 datasheet, 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 pinout, 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 application, or 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SC70-5 package mapping, confirmed 3-state enable logic, real-world timing and drive specs, and two validated alternative parts for bus buffering in industrial and communications hardware.
Technical Context
The 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 implements a CMOS-based non-inverting buffer with active-high output-enable (OE) control. Its 3-state output transitions between driving high, driving low, and high-impedance states-enabling shared-bus arbitration without contention. The device features over-voltage tolerant inputs (up to 5.5V) and supports down-translation to VCC, allowing interfacing between 5V logic and lower-voltage domains.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0V, preventing back-drive current during hot-swap or power sequencing. Input transition rate compliance (≤10 ns/V at 3.3V) ensures stable operation, while balanced CMOS output structure enables symmetrical rise/fall times and robust noise immunity in signal routing applications.

Pinout & Package
74LVC126DCKTG4 is housed in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm with 1.25mm body width. Pin 1 is A (data input), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is Y (3-state output), Pin 4 is OE (active-high output enable), and Pin 5 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A | Data input | True logic input; passes through to Y when OE is high; high-impedance when OE is low. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; must be low-impedance to maintain noise margin and switching integrity. |
| Y | 3-state output | Drives high/low when enabled; floats to high-impedance state when OE is low - essential for bus sharing. |
| OE | Output-enable control | Active-high signal; ties Y to high-Z when low - used for bus arbitration, power sequencing, or signal gating. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | Primary power rail; sets logic thresholds and output voltage levels; requires local 0.1μF bypass capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-voltage tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5V signals regardless of VCC setting - eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing legacy 5V peripherals. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered sections - critical for hot-pluggable modules and modular backplanes. |
| Low ICC static current | 10μA max at full temperature range - reduces quiescent power in always-on subsystems like sensor interfaces or standby controllers. |
| Fast 3.7ns tpd at 3.3V | Enables clean signal integrity in high-speed clock distribution, data strobing, and FPGA I/O expansion paths. |
| CMOS balanced output drive | ±24mA capability with matched rise/fall characteristics - minimizes skew in differential signaling chains and timing-critical paths. |
Applications
| Cable Modem Termination | High-Speed Data Acquisition |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DCKR | Inverting logic function (A → NOT Y); identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs otherwise. | Requires logic inversion in signal path - suitable only where polarity flip is acceptable or compensated in firmware. | Select when system-level signal polarity allows inversion; no PCB change needed due to pin compatibility. |
| NC7SZ126P5X | Same function and pinout; slightly higher max tpd (4.5ns at 3.3V); lower drive (±24mA at 3.3V same, but derates faster above 3.3V). | Valid for cost-sensitive consumer designs with relaxed timing margins; not recommended for >150MHz data paths. | Choose for price-sensitive industrial controls where 3.7ns vs. 4.5ns delay has no impact on system timing budget. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G125DCKR, 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 preserves signal polarity - critical for synchronous data buses. Against NC7SZ126P5X, it delivers tighter propagation delay control and superior thermal stability across –40°C to +125°C, making it preferred for mission-critical timing paths.

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pin on the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4?
The OE (output-enable) pin on the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 is an active-high control input that determines whether the Y output drives the A input signal or enters high-impedance state. When OE is high, Y mirrors A; when OE is low, Y disconnects electrically from the bus. This behavior enables time-multiplexed bus sharing and safe power sequencing - a core requirement in the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4's design for modular digital systems.
Can the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 operate with a 1.8V supply and accept 3.3V inputs?
Yes, the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 supports 1.8V VCC operation while accepting input voltages up to 5.5V - including 3.3V signals - without damage or level-shifting circuitry. This down-translation capability is explicitly specified in its Recommended Operating Conditions and Electrical Characteristics tables, making the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 ideal for interfacing mixed-voltage domains in modern low-power embedded systems.
Does the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 support hot-plug or live-insertion scenarios?
Yes, the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 incorporates Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0V, preventing back-drive current and latch-up during live insertion. This feature is validated per JESD78 Class II latch-up testing (>100mA) and is explicitly documented in the datasheet's Feature and Electrical Characteristics sections - confirming the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4's suitability for modular backplanes and field-replaceable units.
What is the maximum capacitive load the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 can drive while maintaining timing specs?
The 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 is characterized for CL = 15pF (timing specs) and CL = 30–50pF (switching specs). TI specifies reliable operation up to 50pF while meeting all published tpd, ten, and tdis limits across –40°C to +125°C. For loads exceeding 50pF, a series damping resistor is recommended - a design constraint clearly stated in the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4's Application and Implementation section.
Is the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 pin-compatible with other SC70-5 logic buffers?
Yes, the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4 uses the industry-standard SC70-5 (DCK) footprint and shares identical pin assignments (A-GND-Y-OE-VCC) with functionally similar devices like SN74LVC1G125DCKR and NC7SZ126P5X. This mechanical and electrical pin compatibility enables drop-in substitution in existing layouts - a key advantage confirmed by TI's Mechanical, Packaging, and Orderable Information documentation for the 74LVC1G126DCKTG4.
