Product details
Overview
NL27WZ126USG-Q from onsemi is a dual noninverting buffer with 3-state outputs, designed for voltage-level translation and bus isolation in low-voltage digital systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, delivers 2.4 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, supports ±24 mA drive at 3.0 V, and features IOFF partial power-down protection - used in automotive infotainment data routing and industrial sensor interface modules.
For engineers reviewing the NL27WZ126USG-Q datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 5.8 ns), overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, AEC-Q100 qualification, and US8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The NL27WZ126USG-Q implements two independent noninverting buffers, each with separate 3-state enable (OE1/OE2) control and rail-to-rail input tolerance. Its IOFF circuitry prevents current backflow when VCC = 0 V, enabling hot-insertion in multi-rail systems.
It uses CMOS logic with <100 FETs complexity, supports mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 1.8 V logic driving 3.3 V bus), and maintains specified AC performance across −55 °C to +125 °C - validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.0 ns (typ) at 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures sub-500 MHz signal integrity in high-speed control paths. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3.0 V - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or fan-out to ≥10 LVTTL loads. |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals without external clamping. |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents power rail contention during partial power-down sequences. |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +125 °C - meets automotive under-hood and industrial extended-temperature requirements. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000 V - exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for robust handling in manufacturing and field environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: US8 (8-pin ultra-small surface-mount, case 493, 2.1 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.55 mm, lead-free, RoHS compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE1) | Output Enable 1 | Active-high control for Buffer 1 output (Y1); asserts high-impedance state when low. |
| 2 (A1) | Input 1 | Noninverting data input for first buffer channel; tolerant to 5.5 V regardless of VCC. |
| 3 (Y2) | Output 2 | Inverted-output terminal of second buffer; driven only when OE2 = high. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground | Reference return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 5 (A2) | Input 2 | Noninverting data input for second buffer channel; electrically identical to A1. |
| 6 (Y1) | Output 1 | Output of first buffer; high-impedance when OE1 = low; drives rail-to-rail logic levels. |
| 7 (OE2) | Output Enable 2 | Active-high control for Buffer 2 output (Y2); independent of OE1 for asymmetric bus control. |
| 8 (VCC) | Power Supply | Single positive supply input; powers both buffers and enables IOFF behavior during power loss. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (1.65–5.5 V) | Eliminates need for external voltage translators when interfacing mixed-supply subsystems (e.g., MCU core @ 1.8 V, peripheral bus @ 3.3 V). |
| IOFF partial power-down | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered sections - critical for PCIe hot-plug, modular sensor nodes, and battery-backed subsystems. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5 V signals even at VCC = 1.65 V - simplifies design of legacy-compatible interfaces without resistive dividers or clamp diodes. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1) | Validated for automotive applications including body control modules, ADAS sensor hubs, and infotainment gateways requiring −40 °C to +125 °C operation. |
| Low dynamic power (CPD = 9–11 pF) | Reduces switching current consumption in high-frequency clock/data buffering - e.g., 10 MHz operation draws <100 µA additional ICC beyond quiescent. |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Interface | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion |

Use Scenario: Driving multiple isolated digital output channels from a single FPGA I/O bank in a programmable logic controller rack. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Buffers act as current-boosting 3-state drivers for optocoupler inputs, with independent OE control per channel. Use Value: Delivers 24 mA per output at 3.3 V to reliably trigger industrial optocouplers; tPZH < 5.8 ns ensures deterministic timing alignment across 8-channel expansion modules. |
| Medical Diagnostic Data Bus | Consumer IoT Hub Signal Routing |
|
Use Scenario: Multiplexing ECG/EEG analog front-end data streams onto a shared SPI bus in a portable diagnostic device. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual buffer isolates ADC output lines and enables time-multiplexed access via OE1/OE2 toggling. Use Value: Prevents cross-talk between sensitive analog channels using high-impedance tri-state during idle periods; 2.4 ns delay preserves sub-100 ns sampling window integrity. |
Use Scenario: Managing bidirectional I²C communication between a Bluetooth SoC and multiple environmental sensors in a smart home hub. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as bi-directional bus buffer with OE-controlled directionality, supporting mixed-voltage I²C segments (1.8 V SoC ↔ 3.3 V sensors). Use Value: Input overvoltage tolerance eliminates external protection diodes on 3.3 V sensor side; 1.65 V minimum VCC allows operation directly from Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2 V). |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for NL27WZ126USG-Q?
The NL27WZ126USG-Q is rated for continuous operation from −55 °C to +125 °C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade 1 applications. This specification is verified per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet Rev. 16. The NL27WZ126USG-Q maintains full functionality and timing compliance across this full range without derating.
Does NL27WZ126USG-Q support partial power-down (IOFF) functionality?
Yes, the NL27WZ126USG-Q includes IOFF circuitry that actively disables current flow between inputs and outputs when VCC = 0 V. Per the datasheet, IOFF leakage is ≤10 µA under this condition, preventing back-driving of powered rails - a critical feature for hot-swap and modular system architectures. This behavior is intrinsic to the NL27WZ126USG-Q silicon design.
Is NL27WZ126USG-Q pin-compatible with standard 74-series dual buffers?
No, the NL27WZ126USG-Q uses a non-standard pinout optimized for US8 layout: OE1/A1/Y2/GND/A2/Y1/OE2/VCC. It is not pin-compatible with 74LVC2G126 or 74AUP2G126 variants. Board redesign is required when migrating to or from the NL27WZ126USG-Q, as confirmed by the pin assignment table in the onsemi datasheet.
What is the typical propagation delay of NL27WZ126USG-Q at 3.3 V supply?
The NL27WZ126USG-Q exhibits 2.6 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) at VCC = 3.3 V with CL = 15 pF, as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table (Rev. 16 datasheet, page 5). This value is measured under standard test conditions and remains valid across the full operating temperature range.
Can NL27WZ126USG-Q interface between 1.8 V and 5 V logic domains?
Yes, the NL27WZ126USG-Q supports mixed-voltage operation: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and it operates down to 1.65 V. When VCC = 1.8 V, the NL27WZ126USG-Q safely accepts 5 V inputs and outputs rail-to-rail 1.8 V logic levels - enabling direct bridging without external level shifters.
