Product details
Overview
74LVC2G126DCUTE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual noninverting bus buffer gate with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65-V to 5.5-V VCC operation, supporting 5-V tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, delivering ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V, and achieving 4-ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V - used in bidirectional data bus isolation and level translation between mixed-voltage subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 datasheet, 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 pinout, 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 application, or 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff support for live insertion, 3-state control timing (ten/tdis ≤ 5.1 ns at 3.3 V), rail-to-rail input voltage acceptance, and NanoFree™ US8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent noninverting buffers, each with dedicated 3-state output-enable (OE) control. Each channel operates with separate A→Y signal path and OE-driven high-impedance state entry/exit, enabling precise per-channel bus arbitration without cross-talk.
It features Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during partial power-down, preventing back-drive current flow when VCC = 0 V, and accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level - allowing use as a down-translator from 5-V logic to lower VCC domains (e.g., 1.8 V or 2.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic domains |
| Max tpd | 4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - enables high-speed data buffering in interfaces up to ~100 MHz toggle rate |
| Ioff | ±10 µA max at VCC = 0 V - ensures safe hot-plug and partial-power-down operation without damaging current flow |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - drives standard CMOS loads and short traces without external buffering |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5 V to 5.5 V - accepts 5-V TTL/CMOS inputs while powered from 1.8-V or 2.5-V rails |
| Power Consumption | 10 µA max ICC - suitable for always-on control logic in battery-backed or low-quiescent systems |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without external protection |
Pinout & Package
74LVC2G126DCUTE4 uses the US8 (DCU) package: 1.8 mm × 1.4 mm, 0.5-mm pitch, 8-pin ultra-thin leadless DSBGA-compatible outline with bottom-side terminal layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1A | Channel 1 input - accepts 5.5-V-tolerant logic signals independent of VCC |
| 2 | 1OE | Channel 1 output-enable - active-high control; pulls Y to high-Z when low |
| 3 | 2A | Channel 2 input - electrically isolated from Channel 1; identical voltage tolerance |
| 4 | GND | Digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity |
| 5 | 2Y | Channel 2 output - 3-state capable; sinks/sourcing up to ±24 mA at 3.3 V |
| 6 | 1Y | Channel 1 output - independently controllable; matches 2Y in drive strength and timing |
| 7 | 2OE | Channel 2 output-enable - decouples Channel 2 from bus without affecting Channel 1 |
| 8 | VCC | Supply rail - powers internal logic and output drivers; range 1.65–5.5 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoFree™ US8 package | Dies-as-package construction eliminates leadframe; reduces footprint to 1.8 mm × 1.4 mm and height to 0.5 mm - ideal for wearables and ultra-thin modules |
| 5.5-V tolerant inputs | Enables direct interface to legacy 5-V peripherals without external level shifters - simplifies mixed-voltage board design |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Prevents back-current flow when VCC is off or ramping - essential for hot-swap backplanes and modular systems |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Minimizes switching noise on shared GND nets - improves signal integrity in dense digital layouts |
| High noise immunity (VOHV > 2 V) | Reduces false triggering from transient overshoot on output lines - critical for reliable communication in noisy environments |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | USB-C Docking Station Data Isolation |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74LVC2G126DCUTE4?
The 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, meeting industrial and automotive under-hood requirements. This specification is validated per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up testing (>100 mA) and confirmed in TI's official SCES205K datasheet revision K, with no derating required across the full range.
Does the 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 support level translation between 5-V and 3.3-V logic domains?
Yes, the 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 supports down-translation: its inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling direct connection to 5-V sources while powered from 3.3 V, 2.5 V, or 1.8 V rails. Output levels conform to the VCC domain, making it suitable for bidirectional bus isolation without external translators.
Is the 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74LVC2G126 family?
No - the 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 uses the US8 (DCU) package with bottom-terminal layout, while DCT and YZP variants have different footprints and pin mappings. Mechanical drawings confirm DCU has 0.5-mm pitch and 1.8 mm × 1.4 mm body, whereas DCT is 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm and YZP is ball-grid. PCB layout must match the specific package.
What is the typical output ground bounce (VOLP) performance of the 74LVC2G126DCUTE4?
The 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 exhibits typical output ground bounce (VOLP) of less than 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V and TA = 25°C, as measured per JEDEC standards. This low noise characteristic minimizes interference on shared ground planes in high-density digital systems and supports clean signal integrity in mixed-signal environments.
Can the 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 be used in hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
Yes - the 74LVC2G126DCUTE4 incorporates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits leakage to ±10 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging back-current flow during insertion into powered backplanes. This feature is explicitly validated in the datasheet and enables safe use in modular computing and telecom equipment.
