Product details
Overview
MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG from onsemi is a single noninverting 3-state buffer with TTL-level input thresholds, designed for level-shifting between 2.0 V and 5.5 V logic domains. It delivers 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, supports ±8 mA drive at 3.0 V, and features overvoltage-tolerant I/O up to 5.5 V - enabling safe interfacing of 5 V peripherals to 3 V microcontrollers in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its UDFN6 (1.0 × 1.0 mm, 0.35 mm pitch) package, IOFF partial power-down protection, and guaranteed operation across −55 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG implements a three-stage CMOS architecture with buffered 3-state output, delivering high noise immunity and stable switching behavior. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 1.0 V min at 2.0 V VCC; VIL = 0.28 V max) ensure reliable recognition of legacy 5 V TTL signals even when powered from 3.3 V supplies.
Input and output structures are independently rated for overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, supporting hot-insertion and mixed-voltage system integration. The IOFF feature actively disables I/O leakage when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-powering of powered-down rails in partial-power-down 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 translators. |
| tPD (typ) | 3.5 ns at 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures minimal signal delay in high-speed control paths like SPI bus buffering. |
| IOH/IOL | ±8 mA at 3.0 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS inputs or small LED indicators without external buffers. |
| VIH/VIL | TTL thresholds: VIH ≥ 1.0 V (2.0 V VCC), VIL ≤ 0.28 V (2.0 V VCC) - guarantees compatibility with standard 5 V TTL outputs. |
| Overvoltage Tolerance | Inputs/outputs withstand up to 5.5 V independent of VCC - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in mixed-supply interfaces. |
| IOFF Leakage | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents unintended current flow during system sleep or rail sequencing. |
| Operating Temp | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and outdoor embedded applications. |
Pinout & Package
MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG uses the UDFN6 (1.0 × 1.0 mm, 0.35 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad and no lead finish restrictions per JEDEC J-STD-020. Pin 1 is marked by a corner chamfer and located at top-left when the marking side faces up and the chamfer is oriented top-right (rotated 180° CW per ordering info).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable input | Active-high control: drives Y to high-impedance when low; enables buffer pass-through when high. |
| 2 (A) | Data input | Noninverting logic input with TTL thresholds - accepts 5 V signals while powered from 3.3 V. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O current; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 (Y) | Buffered output | 3-state noninverting output with overvoltage-tolerant structure; sinks or sources up to 8 mA. |
| 5 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - not to be tied to GND, VCC, or other signals. |
| 6 (VCC) | Power supply | Single positive supply input (2.0–5.5 V); powers all logic stages and output drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-level input compatibility | VIH = 1.0 V min at 2.0 V VCC enables direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL outputs without pull-ups or translators. |
| IOFF partial power-down protection | Blocks >99% of I/O leakage when VCC = 0 V - critical for battery-backed subsystems and hot-swap interfaces. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | Withstands 5.5 V on A, Y, OE pins regardless of VCC value - eliminates external protection components in mixed-rail designs. |
| Ultra-small UDFN6 footprint | 1.0 × 1.0 mm body with 0.35 mm pitch - saves PCB area in space-constrained IoT sensors and wearables. |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from −55 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in automotive engine control units and industrial motor drives. |

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 = 1.7 V min at 3.3 V), slightly higher ICC (max 10 µA vs. 40 µA), same UDFN6-6 package. | Better suited for pure 3.3 V systems; lacks native 5 V TTL input compatibility. | Select when interfacing only to modern CMOS logic and lower quiescent current is prioritized over legacy signal support. |
| 74AUP1G126GW,125 | Lower VCC range (0.8–3.6 V), ultra-low ICC (max 0.5 µA), smaller XSON6 (0.8 × 0.8 mm) package. | Not rated for 5 V I/O or −55 °C operation; unsuitable for mixed-voltage or extended-temperature use. | Choose for battery-powered wearable devices where size and standby current dominate, and 5 V signal compatibility is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G126DBVR and 74AUP1G126GW,125, the MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG uniquely combines TTL input compatibility, 5.5 V overvoltage tolerance, and industrial temperature range - making it the only option among the three qualified for robust 5 V-to-3.3 V bridging in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the input threshold type of MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG?
The MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG features TTL-level input thresholds: VIH is guaranteed ≥1.0 V at 2.0 V VCC and ≥2.0 V at 5.5 V VCC; VIL is guaranteed ≤0.28 V at 2.0 V VCC and ≤0.8 V at 5.5 V VCC. This allows reliable recognition of standard 5 V TTL signals even when the device is powered from a 3.3 V supply - a key differentiator from CMOS-threshold variants like MC74VHC1G126.
Does MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG support partial power-down operation?
Yes, MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG includes IOFF circuitry that actively disables input and output leakage paths when VCC = 0 V. Per datasheet testing, IOFF leakage is limited to ≤10 µA under this condition - preventing back-powering of powered-down system rails and enabling safe use in hot-swap or battery-backup configurations.
What is the maximum operating temperature for MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG?
The MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG is fully specified for operation from −55 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature. This extended industrial temperature range is validated per onsemi's qualification standards and makes the device suitable for under-hood automotive applications, industrial motor controls, and outdoor infrastructure equipment.
Which package does MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG uses the UDFN6 package (case 517BX) measuring 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.5 mm with 0.35 mm pin pitch. Pin 1 is identified by a top-left chamfer when the marking side faces up and the chamfer is rotated 180° clockwise - matching the orientation specified in the ordering information table on page 8 of the datasheet.
Can MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG safely interface 5 V signals to a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes, MC74VHC1GT126MU3TCG is explicitly designed for this use case. Its inputs and outputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC value, and its TTL input thresholds ensure correct logic interpretation of 5 V signals when powered from 3.3 V. No external resistors or level translators are required - simplifying design and improving reliability in mixed-voltage systems.
