Product details
Overview
MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG from onsemi is a single-channel noninverting 3-state buffer with TTL-level input thresholds, designed for level-shifting and bus isolation in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, delivers 3.5 ns propagation delay at 5 V (typ), supports ±8 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and features overvoltage-tolerant I/O up to 5.5 V - enabling reliable interfacing between 3 V and 5 V logic domains in portable instrumentation and industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its TTL-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds (1.4 V/0.45 V at 3.0 V), IOFF partial power-down protection, UDFN6 1.2 × 1.0 mm package with 0.4 mm pitch, and guaranteed operation across −55 °C to +125 °C.
Technical Context
The MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG implements a three-stage CMOS architecture with buffered 3-state output, delivering high noise immunity and stable switching. Its input structure tolerates voltages up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, allowing safe 5 V-to-3 V translation even when VCC = 3.0 V.
Output structures support VCC = 0 V operation and tolerate output voltages exceeding VCC, preventing latch-up or damage during hot insertion, battery backup transitions, or supply sequencing mismatches. The device includes IOFF circuitry that disables I/O leakage when VCC = 0 V, satisfying partial power-down requirements in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct use in both 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level shifters. |
| tPD (typ) | 3.5 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - supports high-speed data routing in timing-critical digital interfaces. |
| VIH / VIL | 1.4 V / 0.45 V at VCC = 3.0 V - TTL-compatible thresholds ensure reliable recognition of legacy 5 V logic outputs driving 3 V inputs. |
| IOUT | ±8 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient drive strength for fan-out to multiple CMOS loads or resistive pull-ups. |
| IOFF Leakage | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents back-powering of powered-down rails during system sleep or reset states. |
| Operating Temp | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and aerospace-adjacent applications. |
| ESD Rating | HBM: 2000 V - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG uses the UDFN6 (1.2 mm × 1.0 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) package with exposed pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or notch orientation per case 517AA; pin numbering follows standard UDFN convention with OE, A, GND, Y, NC, VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable | Active-high control: drives Y to high-impedance when low; enables noninverting pass-through when high. |
| 2 (A) | Data Input | TTL-threshold input accepting 0–5.5 V signals regardless of VCC; immune to supply voltage mismatch. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal logic and output current; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 (Y) | Buffered Output | Noninverting 3-state output with overvoltage tolerance; sinks or sources up to 8 mA at 3 V. |
| 5 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected terminal; must remain floating - no external connection permitted. |
| 6 (VCC) | Power Supply | Primary supply rail (2.0–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output stage; decoupling required within 2 mm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-Level Input Thresholds | VIH = 1.4 V, VIL = 0.45 V at 3.0 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL outputs driving 3 V logic domains. |
| Overvoltage-Tolerant I/O | Inputs and outputs withstand up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in mixed-supply systems. |
| IOFF Partial Power-Down Protection | Input/output leakage ≤10 µA when VCC = 0 V - prevents current backflow into powered-down sections during standby or fault conditions. |
| Wide Temperature Range | Specified from −55 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in automotive engine compartments and industrial motor drives. |
| Ultra-Small UDFN6 Package | 1.2 mm × 1.0 mm footprint, 0.4 mm pitch - saves PCB area in space-constrained IoT sensors and wearable electronics. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar noninverting 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G126DBVR | CMOS-input thresholds (VIH = 2.1 V at 3.3 V); slightly higher ICC (max 10 µA vs. 40 µA for MC74VHC1GT126). | Better suited for pure 3.3 V systems where TTL compatibility is unnecessary; lacks same overvoltage tolerance (max VIN = VCC + 0.5 V). | Select SN74LVC1G126DBVR only when interfacing exclusively within 3.3 V domains and lower static power is critical. |
| 74AUP1G126GW,125 | Lower VCC range (0.8–3.6 V); 3.7 ns tPD at 3.3 V; IOFF compliant but no 5.5 V overvoltage rating. | Optimized for ultra-low-power battery-operated devices; not suitable for 5 V interface or industrial temperature ranges. | Choose 74AUP1G126GW,125 only for sub-3.6 V portable designs requiring < 1 µA ICC and minimal active power. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G126DBVR and 74AUP1G126GW,125, the MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG uniquely combines TTL-level input compatibility, 5.5 V overvoltage tolerance, and −55 °C to +125 °C operation - making it the only viable option for ruggedized 3 V/5 V mixed-signal bridging in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the input threshold behavior of the MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG?
The MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG features TTL-level input thresholds: VIH = 1.4 V and VIL = 0.45 V at VCC = 3.0 V. This allows it to reliably recognize standard 5 V TTL logic levels when operating from a 3.3 V supply - a key distinction from CMOS-threshold variants like the MC74VHC1G126. These values are fully characterized across −55 °C to +125 °C per the official onsemi datasheet Rev. 27.
Does the MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG includes IOFF circuitry that limits input/output leakage current to ≤10 µA when VCC = 0 V. This feature prevents back-driving of powered-down rails and is explicitly verified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table for the MC74VHC1GT126 variant. It is essential for systems requiring controlled power sequencing or deep-sleep modes.
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG?
The MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG does not specify a maximum clock frequency; instead, its AC performance is defined by propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL = 3.5 ns typ at 5 V, CL = 15 pF) and output enable/disable times (tPZL/tPLZ = 4.8 ns typ at 5 V). These parameters support clean signal routing up to ~100 MHz in well-terminated, low-capacitance traces - validated by onsemi's switching waveform test setup in Figure 4 of the datasheet.
Is the MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG is Pb-free, halogen-free/BFR-free, and RoHS compliant as confirmed in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet (Rev. 27). The "G" suffix in the ordering code (e.g., MU2TCG) explicitly denotes lead-free packaging, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
Can the NC pin (Pin 5) on the MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG be grounded or left floating?
Pin 5 of the MC74VHC1GT126MU2TCG is designated NC (No Connect) and must remain unconnected - neither grounded nor tied to any voltage. The datasheet's Pin Assignment table for UDFN packages confirms this terminal is internally unconnected. Connecting it may cause unpredictable behavior or violate internal ESD protection layout, compromising reliability.
