Product details
Overview
74LVT126BQ,115 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V quad non-inverting buffer with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface applications in mixed-voltage systems. It features bus-hold inputs (eliminating external pull-ups), IOFF partial power-down protection, ±64 mA output drive, and 5.5 V-tolerant inputs. It operates across -40 °C to +85 °C and supports live insertion in backplane or hot-swap environments.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT126BQ,115 datasheet, 74LVT126BQ,115 pinout, 74LVT126BQ,115 application, or 74LVT126BQ,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tPZH ≤ 5.4 ns at 3.3 V), bus-hold current (IBHL = 75–150 μA), IOFF leakage (< ±100 μA at VCC = 0 V), and DHVQFN14 thermal-enhanced packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74LVT126BQ implements four independent BiCMOS buffer channels, each with dedicated active-low output enable (nOE) control enabling precise bus arbitration. Its IOFF circuit disables outputs during power-down, blocking backflow current when VCC = 0 V while inputs/outputs remain connected to live 5 V buses.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains logic state on unused inputs using internal feedback-IBHL = 75–150 μA at VI = 0.8 V and IBHH = −75 to −150 μA at VI = 2.0 V-ensuring deterministic behavior without external biasing. Input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V allows direct interfacing with 5 V TTL systems while powered from 2.7–3.6 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation in 3.3 V systems with ±0.3 V margin; supports brown-out resilience down to 2.7 V. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - Allows direct connection to 5 V logic without level shifters or clamping diodes. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA / −32 mA - Sinks 64 mA in LOW state for driving heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs; sources 32 mA in HIGH state. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.9 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Ensures sub-4 ns signal path timing for high-speed bus buffering in DDR or address/data latching. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging backfeed current during partial power-down, critical for hot-plug PCIe or modular backplane designs. |
| Bus-Hold Current | IBHL = 75–150 μA at VI = 0.8 V - Maintains stable LOW state on floating inputs without external resistors, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for industrial ambient environments including factory automation and telecom infrastructure. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package: 2.5 × 3.0 × 0.85 mm body, no leads, exposed thermal pad (non-soldered by default), 14 terminals in quad arrangement. Thermal-enhanced construction improves power dissipation in high-density routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1OE | Active-low enable for Buffer 1 - Driven LOW to activate 1Y; HIGH places 1Y in high-impedance OFF-state. |
| 2 | VCC | Primary supply rail - Must be decoupled locally; powers all buffers and bus-hold circuitry. |
| 3 | 1A | Data input for Buffer 1 - Accepts 0–5.5 V; internal bus-hold retains last valid state if left floating. |
| 4 | 4OE | Active-low enable for Buffer 4 - Independent control enables selective bus isolation per channel. |
| 5 | 1Y | Inverting-buffered output for 1A - Delivers rail-to-rail 3.3 V logic with ±64 mA drive capability. |
| 6 | 4A | Data input for Buffer 4 - Same electrical specs as 1A; supports asynchronous channel enable sequencing. |
| 7 | 2OE | Active-low enable for Buffer 2 - Enables fine-grained control of data flow across four independent paths. |
| 8 | 4Y | Output for Buffer 4 - Matches 1Y timing and drive strength; tPZH = 5.4 ns max ensures synchronous bus release. |
| 9 | 2A | Data input for Buffer 2 - Supports mixed-signal routing where some channels interface 5 V peripherals and others connect to 3.3 V FPGAs. |
| 10 | 3OE | Active-low enable for Buffer 3 - Allows staggered enable/disable to minimize simultaneous switching noise (SSN). |
| 11 | 2Y | Output for Buffer 2 - Propagation delay matched to other channels (tPHL ≤ 3.9 ns) for skew-controlled bus expansion. |
| 12 | 3A | Data input for Buffer 3 - Bus-hold prevents metastability during FPGA configuration or processor reset sequences. |
| 13 | GND | Ground reference - Terminal 13 is functional GND; terminal 1 is thermal pad (electrically isolated unless explicitly tied to GND). |
| 14 | VCC | Secondary supply connection - Dual VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR in high-current switching scenarios. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IOFF Partial Power-Down | Blocks backflow current when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe hot-swap in modular computing and telecom line cards. |
| Bus-Hold Inputs | Eliminates need for 10 kΩ pull-up/pull-down resistors on unused inputs, saving >4 passives per device in sparse-bus designs. |
| 5.5 V-Tolerant Inputs | Directly interfaces legacy 5 V TTL logic without level translators-reducing component count and signal integrity risk. |
| BiCMOS Output Stage | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS efficiency: achieves 3.8 ns tPLH at 3.3 V while maintaining < 0.19 mA ICC in 3-state mode. |
| Live Insertion Support | Withstands voltage transients during hot-plug events; IOFF and bus-hold prevent latch-up or undefined states during mating. |

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 | Lower drive (+24 mA / −24 mA); 1.65–3.6 V supply; no IOFF or bus-hold. | Suitable for low-power, single-supply 3.3 V systems without hot-swap or mixed-voltage requirements. | Select when cost and quiescent current are prioritized over robustness in partial-power-down or 5 V interface scenarios. |
| 74ALVC126PW | Same 2.7–3.6 V range; 5.5 V-tolerant inputs; no bus-hold; IOFF supported; lower drive (+32 mA / −32 mA). | Fits compact TSSOP14 layouts but lacks bus-hold, requiring external termination on unused inputs. | Choose for space-constrained designs needing 5 V compatibility and IOFF, where board area permits added pull-up resistors. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for 74LVT126BQ,115?
The absolute maximum input voltage is +7.0 V (per Table 4), but the recommended operating range is 0 V to +5.5 V. This 5.5 V tolerance enables direct interfacing with 5 V TTL logic without level-shifting circuitry, provided clamp current limits (±50 mA) are not exceeded.
Does the DHVQFN14 package require soldering the exposed thermal pad?
No-terminal 1 is an exposed thermal pad with no electrical function. The datasheet explicitly states there is "no electrical or mechanical requirement to solder the pad." If soldered, it must remain electrically floating or be connected to GND; improper connection risks shorting or thermal mismatch.
How does bus-hold functionality affect unused input pins?
Bus-hold actively maintains the last valid logic state on floating inputs: IBHL = 75–150 μA pulls toward LOW at VI ≤ 0.8 V, and IBHH = −75 to −150 μA pulls toward HIGH at VI ≥ 2.0 V. This eliminates need for external 10 kΩ pull resistors and prevents metastability during power-up or configuration.
Can 74LVT126BQ,115 be used in automotive applications?
No-this device is not AEC-Q200 qualified or automotive-grade. The datasheet explicitly states "Non-automotive qualified products" and prohibits use in safety-critical, life-support, or automotive systems. It is rated only for industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C) and lacks automotive-specific reliability testing.
