Product details
Overview
M74HC126RM13TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS quad 3-state bus buffer with independent enable inputs per channel, operating across 2 V–6 V supply, delivering 8 ns typical propagation delay at 6 V, ±6 mA output drive, and -55 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range - used in bidirectional data bus isolation for microcontroller peripheral interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC126RM13TR datasheet, M74HC126RM13TR pinout, M74HC126RM13TR application, or M74HC126RM13TR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tPZL/tPLZ), rail-to-rail input thresholds (VIH/VIL = 70%/30% VCC), SO14 package thermal profile, and compatibility with legacy 74LS126 signal routing.
Technical Context
The device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low 3-state enable (G) controlling output impedance. All inputs feature diode-clamped ESD protection (HBM 2 kV, CDM 1 kV), and outputs exhibit symmetrical drive strength (|IOH| = IOL ≥ 6 mA at VCC = 4.5 V).
Propagation delays are balanced (tPLH ≅ tPHL), transition times are tightly controlled (tTLH/tTHL ≤ 15 ns at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF), and noise immunity exceeds 28% of VCC for both high- and low-level inputs - enabling robust operation in mixed-signal PCB environments with shared ground planes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2 V to 6 V - supports direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters |
| Propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 8 ns typ. at VCC = 6 V, CL = 50 pF - enables ≤125 MHz bus toggle rates in buffered paths |
| Output drive (IOL/IOH) | ±6 mA min. at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or 20 CMOS inputs |
| Input threshold (VIH/VIL) | 70%/30% VCC min. - ensures reliable switching across full VCC range and temperature extremes |
| Quiescent current (ICC) | 4 μA max. at TA = 25 °C - enables use in low-power standby modes without significant leakage penalty |
| ESD rating (HBM) | 2 kV - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level handling and system integration |
| Operating temperature | -55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive auxiliary circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO14 (Small Outline, 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch) per JEDEC MS-012, compliant with ECOPACK® environmental standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | 1G–4G (Active-High Enable) | Independent 3-state control per buffer; high = output enabled, low = high-Z - enables dynamic bus arbitration |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | 1A–4A (Data Inputs) | CMOS-compatible inputs with hysteresis-free thresholds; accept 0–VCC swing without external pull-ups |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | 1Y–4Y (Data Outputs) | Push-pull outputs with matched rise/fall characteristics; support hot-swap-capable bus sharing |
| 7 | GND | Dedicated ground reference for internal logic and output stage - must be low-inductance connection |
| 14 | VCC | Single positive supply pin - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm for stable AC performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed buffering | 8 ns typical tPD at 6 V enables real-time data capture in 8-bit parallel interfaces |
| Low static power | 4 μA ICC max. allows inclusion in always-on monitoring nodes without battery drain impact |
| Rail-compatible thresholds | VIH/VIL track VCC proportionally - eliminates need for external biasing in multi-voltage systems |
| Robust 3-state control | Separate G inputs per channel permit selective bus segment isolation without global reset |
| Industrial-grade reliability | Qualified from -55 °C to +125 °C with 2 kV HBM ESD - suitable for factory automation controllers |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC126N | DIP-14 package only; no SO14 variant; identical electrical specs but lacks automotive qualification | Prototyping and breadboard use only - not suitable for surface-mount production or extended temperature operation | Select when manual assembly or through-hole layout is required and temperature range ≤ 85 °C suffices |
| 74HC126PW | TSSOP-14 package (4.4 mm × 5.0 mm); same SO14 pinout but smaller footprint and higher thermal resistance | Space-constrained PCBs where 30% area reduction is critical and thermal derating is managed externally | Select when board space is premium and thermal margin allows 10 mW/°C derating above 65 °C |
Compared with SN74HC126N and 74HC126PW, M74HC126RM13TR offers industrial-grade SO14 packaging with verified -55 °C to +125 °C operation and tape-and-reel delivery - making it optimal for volume SMT manufacturing in harsh-environment control systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by M74HC126RM13TR in a data bus application?
The device does not operate as a clocked element but as a combinational buffer. Its 8 ns typical propagation delay at 6 V and 50 pF load supports reliable data toggling up to approximately 125 MHz in point-to-point configurations. System-level frequency limits depend on trace length, termination, and fan-out - not internal clocking.
Can M74HC126RM13TR drive a 50 Ω transmission line directly?
No. Its output drive capability (±6 mA) is rated into resistive loads, not 50 Ω transmission lines. Driving such lines requires external series termination or a dedicated line driver IC. Direct connection risks signal reflection, overshoot, and excessive current draw beyond absolute maximum ratings.
Is the SO14 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The M74HC126RM13TR uses an ECOPACK®-compliant SO14 package with lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC requirements as documented in ST's official compliance statements.
How does the 3-state enable timing affect bus contention risk?
tPZL (enable-to-output-low) and tPLZ (disable-to-high-Z) are both ≤19 ns at VCC = 4.5 V. This tight window minimizes bus float time during state transitions, reducing the risk of contention when multiple buffers share a common bus - provided enable signals are synchronized with setup/hold margins relative to data edges.
