Product details
Overview
74LVC2G126DC,125 from Nexperia is a dual 3-state bus buffer/line driver with independent output enable (nOE) control per channel, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF partial power-down protection, and mixed-voltage translation capability (1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, 5.5 V-tolerant inputs). It operates from –40 °C to +125 °C in VSSOP8 (SOT765-1) package and is used in level-shifting I/O expansion paths in industrial microcontroller interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G126DC,125 datasheet, 74LVC2G126DC,125 pinout, 74LVC2G126DC,125 application, or 74LVC2G126DC,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tpd ≤ 5.4 ns at 3.3 V), ±24 mA drive strength, IOFF-enabled backflow prevention during power sequencing, and compatibility with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-HIGH 3-state output enable (1OE, 2OE) and Schmitt-trigger input thresholds (VIL = 0.35VCC max, VIH = 0.7VCC min at VCC ≥ 4.5 V). The IOFF circuit disables outputs and blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe hot-insertion and partial power-down in multi-rail systems.
It supports JEDEC-compliant voltage ranges (JESD8-7, JESD8-5, JESD8-B/JESD36), delivers 24 mA sink/source at VCC = 3.0 V, and maintains propagation delay < 5.4 ns (typ) and enable/disable times < 5.7 ns (max) across its full operating temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - Enables operation across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows direct interfacing with 5 V inputs while powered from 3.3 V or lower supplies. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - Sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and moderate capacitive buses without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 5.4 ns (max) at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - Supports high-speed data transfer in compact digital interfaces. |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ±2 μA max at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging backflow current during power-down or hot-swap events. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for extended industrial and under-hood applications. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Robust handling in automated assembly and field-replaceable modules. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP8 (SOT765-1) package: plastic very thin shrink small outline, 8 leads, body width 2.3 mm, lead pitch 0.5 mm, pin 1 index at lower-left corner below marking code "V26".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1OE | Active-HIGH output enable for Channel 1 - Drives 1Y to high-impedance when LOW. |
| 2 | 1A | Data input for Channel 1 - Schmitt-trigger input accepts slow-rising signals and rejects noise. |
| 3 | 1Y | Inverting-buffered output for Channel 1 - Delivers rail-to-rail CMOS output with ±24 mA drive. |
| 4 | GND | Digital ground reference - Must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 5 | 2A | Data input for Channel 2 - Independent of Channel 1; enables dual-bus isolation. |
| 6 | 2Y | Inverting-buffered output for Channel 2 - Provides second 3-state output path with identical timing specs. |
| 7 | 2OE | Active-HIGH output enable for Channel 2 - Allows independent gating of each buffer output. |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply rail - Powers both channels; IOFF circuitry activates automatically when VCC = 0 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V operation enables single-part support across multiple voltage rails in mixed-signal systems. |
| IOFF Partial Power-Down | Automatically disables outputs and blocks backflow current when VCC = 0 V - critical for hot-plug and multi-power-domain designs. |
| Schmitt-Trigger Inputs | Input hysteresis (ΔV ≈ 0.2VCC) rejects noise on slow edges and eliminates contact bounce issues in mechanical switch interfaces. |
| 5.5 V-Tolerant Inputs | Accepts 5 V logic levels regardless of VCC setting - eliminates need for external level shifters in 3.3 V–5 V interconnects. |
| High-Drive Outputs | ±24 mA drive at 3.0 V allows direct driving of 15 pF loads with < 5 ns delay - reduces BOM count in I/O expansion circuits. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Microcontroller GPIO Multiplexing |

Use Scenario: Isolating patient-connected sensor interface lines from main system logic in portable ECG monitors, where power sequencing must prevent leakage currents during standby. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bus buffer provides galvanic separation via 3-state control and IOFF protection during battery-swapping or low-power sleep modes. Use Value: IOFF leakage < ±2 μA at VCC = 0 V meets IEC 60601-1 creepage/clearance safety requirements for Class II medical devices without additional isolation components. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2G126DBVR | TI part in SOT-23-8 (same pinout); slightly higher ICC (4 μA vs 0.1 μA typ) and wider tpd range (1.9–4.0 ns vs 0.5–5.4 ns). | Optimized for lower static power in battery-powered designs; lacks IOFF spec at VCC = 0 V. | Select when ultra-low quiescent current is prioritized over guaranteed backflow blocking during full power-off. |
| 74AUP2G126DC,125 | Nexperia AUP variant: lower VCC range (0.8–3.6 V), reduced drive (±4 mA), slower tpd (≤ 12.3 ns), no 5.5 V input tolerance. | Targeted for ultra-low-power sub-1.8 V systems only; unsuitable for mixed 3.3 V/5 V environments. | Choose only for 1.2 V or 1.8 V core logic where voltage translation is unnecessary and power budget is extremely tight. |

FAQ
Does the 74LVC2G126DC,125 support true bidirectional data flow?
No - it is a dual unidirectional buffer with non-inverting logic (nA → nY) and independent 3-state control (nOE). Bidirectional operation requires external direction control logic or a dedicated transceiver like the 74LVC245. Each channel functions strictly as an input-to-output path with high-impedance disable capability.
Can 74LVC2G126DC,125 be used with a 1.8 V supply and 3.3 V inputs?
Yes - its inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and it is fully specified down to 1.65 V supply. At VCC = 1.8 V, VIH = 0.65 × 1.8 V = 1.17 V (min), ensuring reliable recognition of 3.3 V logic HIGH signals without damage or undefined behavior.
What is the significance of the "V26" marking on the 74LVC2G126DC,125 package?
"V26" is the standardized Nexperia marking code for all 74LVC2G126 variants in VSSOP8 (SOT765-1), TSSOP8 (SOT505-2), and XSON8 packages. It identifies the device function and process generation but does not encode date code or lot information - those appear separately in laser-marked alphanumeric strings adjacent to the code.
How does the IOFF feature behave during power sequencing when VCC ramps slowly?
IOFF activates automatically when VCC drops below ~0.8 V and remains active until VCC exceeds ~1.2 V. During slow ramp-up, outputs stay in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes within specification - preventing glitch-induced bus contention. This behavior is verified per JEDEC JESD78 and documented in Section 1.1 of the datasheet Rev. 16.
