Product details
Overview
M74HC126YTTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS quad 3-state bus buffer with automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100), operating from 2 V to 6 V, featuring 8 ns typical propagation delay at 6 V, ±6 mA output drive, and -40 °C to +125 °C temperature range - used in bidirectional data bus isolation for automotive infotainment head units.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC126YTTR datasheet, M74HC126YTTR pinout, M74HC126YTTR application, or M74HC126YTTR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, TSSOP14 package details, truth table behavior, and automotive-qualified alternatives aligned with real-world bus interface design requirements.
Technical Context
The M74HC126YTTR implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-high 3-state enable (G) control. All inputs include ESD protection (HBM: 2 kV, CDM: 1 kV), and outputs exhibit symmetrical drive strength (|IOH| = IOL ≥ 6 mA at VCC = 4.5 V).
It operates across 2–6 V supply, supports fast edge rates (tr/tf ≤ 400 ns at 6 V), and maintains balanced tPLH ≅ tPHL propagation delays. The device uses silicon gate C2MOS technology and is fully pin- and function-compatible with standard 74 series 126 logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2 V to 6 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns (typ.) at VCC = 6 V, CL = 50 pF - supports >10 MHz bus toggle rates in buffered data paths |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA (min.) at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads across PCB traces with clean edges |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 3.15 V, VIL = 1.35 V at VCC = 4.5 V - provides 28 % VCC noise margin for robust operation in noisy automotive environments |
| Quiescent Current | 4 μA (max.) at TA = 25 °C - ensures negligible standby power in always-on vehicle modules |
| ESD Rating | HBM: 2 kV, CDM: 1 kV - meets baseline automotive board-level ESD immunity requirements |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and dashboard-mounted electronics per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package, 14-pin) - 5.0 mm × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 0.75 mm max height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant per ECOPACK® specifications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | 1G–4G (Enable Inputs) | Active-high 3-state controls: logic HIGH disables output (Z-state); tied together or individually managed for selective bus gating |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | 1A–4A (Data Inputs) | CMOS-compatible inputs accepting 0–VCC logic levels; internally protected against ±20 mA transient current |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | 1Y–4Y (Data Outputs) | Non-inverting buffered outputs with symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability; high-impedance when corresponding G = LOW |
| 7 | GND | Digital ground reference; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail (2–6 V); requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling within 5 mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed buffering | 8 ns typical tPD at 6 V enables reliable 12.5 MHz data throughput on shared buses |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance ensures reliability in extended temperature and vibration environments |
| Symmetrical output drive | Matched |IOH|/IOL minimizes duty cycle distortion in clock or data signals routed through buffer |
| Wide voltage operation | 2–6 V range allows single part to serve both legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V subsystems |
| Low static power | 4 μA max ICC reduces system-level quiescent current in battery-backed modules |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC126QPWRQ1 | TI's AEC-Q100 Grade 1 TSSOP14 variant; identical AC/DC specs but higher ICC (20 μA max) and lower ESD (HBM: 1.5 kV) | Validated for same automotive temp range but lacks ST's advanced screening per AEC-Q001/Q002 | Select when TI supply chain preference or existing footprint reuse is prioritized over enhanced ESD robustness |
| 74HC126D,118 | Nexperia SO14 version; same logic function but wider -40 °C to +125 °C rating, no automotive qualification, 10 ns tPD (typ.) | Cost-optimized for industrial control boards where AEC-Q100 is not mandated | Choose for non-automotive applications requiring SO14 footprint and lower unit cost |
Compared with SN74HC126QPWRQ1 and 74HC126D,118, the M74HC126YTTR delivers superior ESD resilience (2 kV HBM), tighter propagation delay (8 ns vs. 10 ns), and full AEC-Q001/Q002 screening - making it optimal for safety-critical automotive subsystems where signal integrity and long-term reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is M74HC126YTTR pin-compatible with standard 74HC126 devices?
Yes - M74HC126YTTR is fully pin- and function-compatible with industry-standard 74HC126 logic, including identical pin numbering, truth table behavior, and electrical interface characteristics. Its TSSOP14 footprint matches JEDEC MO-153, enabling drop-in replacement where space-constrained layouts require surface-mount packaging.
What is the maximum capacitive load this buffer can drive reliably?
The M74HC126YTTR is characterized up to 150 pF load capacitance in AC testing (tPLH/tPHL measured at CL = 150 pF). With its ±6 mA output drive at 4.5 V, it maintains <27 ns propagation delay and <32 ns transition time into 150 pF, supporting stable operation on PCB traces and moderate fan-out without signal degradation.
Does this device support mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V input to 5 V output)?
No - M74HC126YTTR is a non-level-shifting buffer: inputs and outputs operate referenced to the same VCC rail. It accepts VIH/VIL thresholds scaled to VCC (e.g., 3.15 V at 4.5 V), so interfacing across different supply domains requires external level translators or compatible voltage rails.
How does the automotive qualification affect solder reflow profile requirements?
M74HC126YTTR follows standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020D): peak temperature 260 °C, time above liquidus 60–150 s. Its AEC-Q100 qualification confirms reliability after thermal cycling (-40 °C to +125 °C, 1000 cycles) and does not impose special reflow constraints beyond JEDEC Class 3 moisture sensitivity (MSL3, floor life 168 h at 30 °C/60 % RH).
