Product details
Overview
SN74ABT126DBR from Texas Instruments is a quadruple bus buffer gate with 3-state outputs in SSOP-14 package, designed for high-speed bidirectional data bus isolation in industrial and computing systems. It delivers −32-mA high-level and 64-mA low-level output drive, supports hot insertion via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and operates across −40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT126DBR datasheet, SN74ABT126DBR pinout, SN74ABT126DBR application, or SN74ABT126DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state control per channel, ground-bounce immunity (<1 V VOLP), latch-up robustness (>500 mA), and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic levels in space-constrained SSOP layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT126DBR implements four independent noninverting buffers, each with dedicated output-enable (OE) control enabling per-channel bus contention prevention. Its ABT logic family ensures TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and fast propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 7.3 ns at 5 V).
It features active-high 3-state control, high-impedance state during power-up/down (VCC < 2.1 V), and Ioff protection that disables current flow when VCC = 0 V-critical for live-insertion backplane and hot-swap applications requiring signal integrity during partial power states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation in standard 5-V digital systems with ±10% tolerance. |
| Output Drive | −32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - Supports driving heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs without signal degradation. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 7.3 ns @ 5 V - Enables reliable timing in high-speed data paths up to ~100 MHz clock domains. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - Guarantees interoperability with legacy TTL and mixed-voltage CMOS interfaces. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 96°C/W (SSOP-DB) - Defines maximum power dissipation limit (~350 mW at ΔT = 34°C rise) for board-level thermal design. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM - Meets industrial-grade ESD immunity requirements without external protection. |
| Latch-Up | >500 mA per JESD 17 - Prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage or ground bounce events. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT126DBR uses a 14-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65-mm pitch, 7.4-mm body width, and 2-mm max height. Pin 1 index area located at top-left corner with notch marking orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | Output Enable (1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE) | Active-high control per buffer; drives associated Y output to high-Z when low. |
| 2, 5, 11, 14 | Input (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A) | Noninverting data input for corresponding buffer channel. |
| 3, 6, 12, 9 | Output (1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y) | Buffered noninverting output; enters high-impedance state when OE = L. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 14 | VCC | 5-V supply rail; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of pin for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel 3-state control | Enables selective bus isolation without disabling entire IC-reduces system-level arbitration complexity. |
| Power-up/down high-impedance | Prevents bus contention during brown-out or sequencing faults by forcing outputs to Z-state below 2.1 V VCC. |
| Ioff support | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered sections-essential for hot-plug PCIe, CompactPCI, and modular backplanes. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V) | Maintains signal integrity during simultaneous switching output (SSO) events in dense PCB layouts. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with legacy 5-V microcontrollers or FPGAs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT244DBR | Octal (8-channel) vs. quad (4-channel); identical ABT logic, same SSOP-20 package. | Higher channel density for wider buses; requires more PCB area and layout revision. | Select when expanding bus width beyond 4 bits or consolidating multiple SN74ABT126DBR units onto one IC. |
| SN74LVC126APWR | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (−24/24 mA), smaller TSSOP-14 package. | Not suitable for 5-V systems; lacks Ioff and high-impedance power-up behavior. | Choose only for new 3.3-V designs prioritizing lower power and smaller footprint over hot-swap capability. |
Compared with SN74ABT244DBR and SN74LVC126APWR, the SN74ABT126DBR uniquely balances 5-V compatibility, per-channel 3-state control, and hot-insertion readiness-making it optimal for industrial backplane and legacy bus extension where voltage and sequencing robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the recommended pull-down resistor value for OE pins on SN74ABT126DBR?
For guaranteed high-impedance state above 2.1 V VCC, TI specifies tying OE to GND via a pulldown resistor. The minimum value depends on the current-sourcing capability of the upstream driver; typical values range from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ. For SN74ABT126DBR, a 4.7-kΩ resistor ensures reliable low-state assertion while minimizing quiescent current draw in enabled configurations.
Does SN74ABT126DBR support mixed-voltage operation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains?
No-SN74ABT126DBR is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V VCC operation and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V). It does not support 3.3-V core logic or I/O translation. For mixed-voltage systems, use dedicated level translators like SN74AVC4T245 or SN74LVC8T245 alongside SN74ABT126DBR.
Can SN74ABT126DBR be used in place of SN74ABT126DR in an existing SOIC layout?
No-SN74ABT126DBR uses SSOP-14 (0.65-mm pitch, 7.4-mm width), while SN74ABT126DR uses SOIC-14 (1.27-mm pitch, 8.75-mm width). Footprints are mechanically incompatible; direct replacement requires PCB redesign. Thermal resistance also differs (96°C/W vs. 86°C/W), affecting power derating calculations.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74ABT126DBR can drive while maintaining tPLH/tPHL ≤ 7.3 ns?
TI characterizes SN74ABT126DBR switching performance with CL = 50 pF (including probe and jig capacitance). At this load, tPLH/tPHL remains ≤ 7.3 ns at 5 V. Driving >75 pF increases delay nonlinearly and risks exceeding timing margins; for heavier loads, add series termination or reduce trace length to maintain SN74ABT126DBR's specified propagation performance.
Is SN74ABT126DBR compliant with JEDEC JESD22-A114 (HBM) and JESD22-A115 (MM) standards?
Yes-SN74ABT126DBR exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114-A (2000-V Human-Body Model) and JESD22-A115-A (200-V Machine Model) ESD specifications. This compliance is verified per TI's production test flow and documented in the SCBS183H datasheet, confirming suitability for handling in non-ESD-protected assembly environments.
