Product details
Overview
74V2G126STR from STMicroelectronics is a dual 3-state bus buffer IC designed for voltage-level translation and bidirectional bus isolation in mixed-voltage systems. It features dual independent channels, 3.8 ns typical propagation delay at 5V, ±8 mA output drive, 2V–5.5V operating supply, and power-down protection enabling safe 0–7V input tolerance regardless of VCC. It is used in portable battery-powered equipment including PDAs and camcorders.
For engineers reviewing the 74V2G126STR datasheet, 74V2G126STR pinout, 74V2G126STR application, or 74V2G126STR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tPZL/tPLZ ≤ 7.0 ns at 5V), symmetrical output impedance, latch-up immunity, ESD-protected I/O, and compatibility with 3V/5V interface bridging under industrial temperature range (−55°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
This device implements two independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state enable (nG). Each channel supports rail-to-rail input tolerance (0–7V) independent of VCC, enabling robust hot-swap and power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Its C2MOS sub-micron process delivers low ICC (1 µA max at 25°C) and high noise immunity (VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28% VCC), while balanced tPLH ≅ tPHL ensures minimal duty-cycle distortion in clocked data paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| tPD (typ) | 3.8 ns at VCC = 5V - enables high-speed data transfer in 25 MHz+ digital buses |
| VCC Range | 2V to 5.5V - supports direct interfacing between 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains |
| IOL / IOH (min) | 8 mA at VCC = 4.5V - drives standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs without buffering |
| VI Absolute Max | −0.5V to +7.0V - allows safe operation during power-down or voltage mismatch conditions |
| ICC (max) | 1 µA at TA = 25°C - minimizes quiescent power in always-on battery-backed subsystems |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2 kV - integrated protection eliminates need for external TVS on I/O lines |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-8L package: ultra-compact 8-pin surface-mount with 0.65 mm pitch, 2.8 × 2.6 mm body, and exposed pad not present. Designed for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7 | 1G, 2G - Active-Low Output Enable | Drives corresponding Y output to high-impedance when HIGH; enables bus sharing across multiple drivers |
| 2, 5 | 1A, 2A - Data Inputs | Accept 0–7V inputs irrespective of VCC; tolerate floating or unpowered states safely |
| 3, 6 | 2Y, 1Y - Buffered Outputs | Non-inverting outputs with symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability (±8 mA min) |
| 4 | GND | Reference return for all I/O and internal logic; must be connected before VCC for robust startup |
| 8 | VCC | Single positive supply (2–5.5V); powers both channels and internal protection circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input tolerance | 0–7V input voltage range independent of VCC - eliminates level-shifter requirement in mixed-supply systems |
| Power-down protection | Inputs and outputs remain high-Z and non-latching when VCC = 0 - prevents back-driving and system corruption |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 14 pF - limits switching current to <100 µA at 10 MHz with 5V supply |
| High noise margin | VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28% VCC - rejects >1.4V peak noise on 5V buses without false triggering |
| Latch-up immunity | Improved C2MOS process - withstands >200 mA transient current per I/O without destructive latch-up |

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 | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5V); higher ICC (10 µA typ); no 0–7V input tolerance | Not suitable for hot-swap or unpowered-bus scenarios requiring absolute input safety | Prefer when only 1.8V/3.3V interfaces needed and cost is primary constraint |
| 74AUP2G126GW,125 | Higher noise immunity (40% VCC); lower ICC (0.5 µA typ); same SOT23-8 package | Superior for ultra-low-power wearable designs but lacks 7V absolute input rating | Choose when extended battery life outweighs need for universal input fault tolerance |
Compared with SN74LVC2G126DBVR and 74AUP2G126GW,125, the 74V2G126STR uniquely combines 0–7V input tolerance, industrial temperature range, and sub-µA quiescent current-making it optimal for legacy-to-modern voltage bridging where reliability under fault conditions is critical.

FAQ
Can 74V2G126STR operate with VCC = 2.0V while accepting 5V inputs?
Yes. Its absolute input voltage rating is −0.5V to +7.0V, independent of VCC. At VCC = 2.0V, inputs up to 5V are safely tolerated without damage or false logic states due to integrated power-down protection and clamping diodes.
What is the maximum capacitive load this buffer can drive at 5V with ≤5 ns delay?
At VCC = 5.0V and CL = 15 pF, tPLH/tPHL is 3.8 ns (typ) and 7.5 ns (max). Driving >15 pF increases delay nonlinearly; for ≤5 ns max delay, load must stay ≤15 pF including trace and probe capacitance.
Does this device support hot-plug insertion into a live 5V bus?
Yes. With VCC = 0V, all inputs and outputs enter high-impedance state and tolerate 0–7V - enabling safe insertion into powered-backplane systems without disrupting communication or damaging upstream components.
How does its latch-up immunity compare to standard 74HC logic?
It exceeds JEDEC JESD78 Class II (>200 mA) due to C2MOS process enhancements. Standard 74HC devices typically sustain only 100 mA; this part maintains functionality after exposure to 200 mA transient currents on any I/O pin.
