Product details
Overview
SN64BCT126ANSR from Texas Instruments is a quadruple bus buffer gate with independent 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data bus isolation and memory address buffering in 5-V TTL/CMOS systems. It features 4-channel non-inverting logic, ±64 mA output drive, 3.6 ns typical propagation delay (A→Y), and high-impedance state during power-up/down. Used in industrial control backplanes and legacy microprocessor address latching.
For engineers reviewing the SN64BCT126ANSR datasheet, SN64BCT126ANSR pinout, SN64BCT126ANSR application, or SN64BCT126ANSR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tPZL = 3.7 ns min), ICCZ quiescent current (5–10 mA), thermal performance (θJA = 78°C/W in NS package), and compatibility with 5-V bus loading requirements.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS bus buffer implements four independent non-inverting drivers, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) input. Each channel transitions to high-impedance when its OE is low, enabling dynamic bus sharing without contention.
It operates across –40°C to 85°C at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, supports 50-pF capacitive loads, and meets MIL-STD-883 ESD protection (>2000 V). Its low ICCZ and fast disable times (tPHZ/tPLZ ≤ 8.2 ns max) reduce system-level power noise during state transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures robust operation under 5-V rail tolerance and brownout conditions. |
| Output Drive | ±64 mA - Sufficient to drive 50-pF bus loads with <7 ns propagation delay and <8.3 ns disable time. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1.5–6.3 ns - Enables reliable timing in 100+ MHz address/data strobe applications. |
| ICCZ Quiescent Current | 5–10 mA - Low standby power vs. bipolar-only buffers, critical for multi-buffer systems. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - Meets MIL-STD-883 Method 3015, supporting handling in non-EPA environments. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 85°C - Qualified for industrial temperature range without derating. |
| Input Clamp Current | –18 mA - Allows safe overvoltage transient absorption on inputs up to 7 V. |
Pinout & Package
SN64BCT126ANSR uses a 14-pin plastic small-outline (SO) package with NS drawing, 300-mil width, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. Pin 1 is located in Quadrant Q1 per JEDEC standard tape-and-reel packaging.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 9, 12 | OE (Active-Low Output Enable) | Independent per-channel enable; low = output enabled, high = high-Z state. |
| 2, 5, 10, 13 | A (Input) | Non-inverting data input for corresponding buffer channel. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | Y (Output) | 3-state buffered output; follows A when OE low, high-Z when OE high. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages; must be low-impedance. |
| 14 | VCC | 5-V supply for BiCMOS output drivers and input buffers; bypassing required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| State-of-the-art BiCMOS design | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS input impedance for 3.6 ns typical tPLH at 50-pF load. |
| High-impedance during power sequencing | Outputs remain in high-Z from VCC = 0 to 1.3 V (power-up) and 1.3 V to 0 V (power-down), preventing bus contention. |
| Low ICCZ quiescent current | 5–10 mA at VCC = 5.5 V - Reduces system-level power supply ripple vs. legacy TTL buffers. |
| MIL-STD-883 ESD protection | Exceeds 2000 V HBM - Eliminates need for external TVS diodes in board-level ESD zones. |
| Independent 3-state control | Four separate OE inputs allow selective channel gating - essential for partial bus arbitration in multiprocessor systems. |
Applications
| Microprocessor Address Latching | Industrial Backplane Bus Isolation |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74BCT244N | Octal (8-channel) vs. quad (4-channel); identical VCC range, timing, and BiCMOS process. | Higher channel density suits wider buses (e.g., 32-bit data paths); requires larger PCB footprint. | Choose SN74BCT244N when expanding to 8-line buffering without redesigning enable logic. |
| SN64BCT125ANSR | Inverting output logic (A→¬Y) vs. non-inverting (A→Y); otherwise identical pinout, specs, and package. | Requires logic inversion in upstream signal path; unsuitable where polarity must be preserved. | Choose SN64BCT125ANSR only if system-level timing budget allows inversion or downstream logic compensates. |
Compared with SN74BCT244N and SN64BCT125ANSR, the SN64BCT126ANSR provides optimal channel count and signal polarity for 4-line address/data isolation in space-constrained industrial controllers, with no layout change needed when replacing legacy SN74LS126 variants.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the SN64BCT126ANSR?
The SN64BCT126ANSR is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements without derating. This range is validated per the SCBS051C datasheet revision and confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum, making SN64BCT126ANSR suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory floor controllers and outdoor telemetry units.
Does the SN64BCT126ANSR support 3.3-V logic inputs?
No, the SN64BCT126ANSR is a 5-V-only device with VIH = 2.0 V minimum and VIL = 0.8 V maximum, specified for TTL-compatible inputs. Driving it directly from 3.3-V logic risks marginal high-level recognition and is not supported per recommended operating conditions; level-shifting circuitry is required for mixed-voltage systems using SN64BCT126ANSR.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN64BCT126ANSR in its NS package?
The SN64BCT126ANSR in the NS (14-pin SO) package has a thermal resistance θJA of 78°C/W, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table of the SCBS051C datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and enables thermal design margin calculation for continuous 64 mA output loading at full industrial temperature range.
Can unused inputs on the SN64BCT126ANSR be left floating?
No - all unused inputs of the SN64BCT126ANSR must be held at VCC or GND to ensure proper device operation, as explicitly stated in Note 3 of the recommended operating conditions. Floating OE or A inputs may cause erratic 3-state behavior or increased ICC, risking bus contention; TI recommends tying unused OE pins to VCC (disable) and unused A pins to GND or VCC depending on desired default state.
Is the SN64BCT126ANSR pin-compatible with the SN74LS126N?
No - although both are quad 3-state buffers, the SN64BCT126ANSR (BiCMOS) and SN74LS126N (bipolar TTL) share functional equivalence but differ electrically and thermally. The SN64BCT126ANSR offers lower ICCZ, faster timing, and higher ESD tolerance, but pinout matches only within the BCT family (e.g., SN64BCT125ANSR), not LS-series devices. Direct replacement requires validation of timing margins and drive strength in the target SN64BCT126ANSR application.
