Product details
Overview
SN74AHC1G126DBVT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel CMOS bus buffer gate with 3-state output, designed for level-shifting and bus isolation in low-power digital systems. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±8 mA output drive at 5 V, achieves 6 ns max propagation delay, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). It is used in TV backplane control, server board management, and patient monitoring I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC1G126DBVT datasheet, SN74AHC1G126DBVT pinout, SN74AHC1G126DBVT application, or SN74AHC1G126DBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tPZH/tPHZ), 5.5-V-tolerant inputs for down-translation, low ICC (≤10 µA), thermal resistance (RθJA = 278 °C/W), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74AHC1G126DBVT implements a noninverting buffer with active-high output-enable (OE) control. Its true logic path passes A → Y when OE = HIGH; output enters high-impedance state when OE = LOW. Input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V enables interfacing between higher-voltage logic domains and lower-VCC subsystems without external level shifters.
It uses advanced AHC CMOS process technology to achieve balanced rise/fall times, low dynamic power (Cpd = 14 pF), and robust ESD protection (±1500 V HBM). The device complies with JEDEC JESD17 latch-up immunity (>250 mA), ensuring reliability in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system integration and battery-backed operation down to 2 V. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures timing-critical signal routing in high-speed control buses. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or short PCB traces without external buffering. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | ≤10 µA - enables ultra-low-power standby modes in portable and energy-sensitive medical devices. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing with 5-V logic while operating at 3.3 V or 2.5 V. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and medical diagnostics hardware. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±1500 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for board-level ESD robustness. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, 1.45 mm max height, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-high output enable input | Drives Y into high-Z when LOW; must be pulled to GND via resistor during power-up to prevent bus contention. |
| 2 - A | Buffer input | True logic input accepting 0–5.5 V; no internal pull-up/down; requires external bias if unused. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for logic and output currents; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | Noninverting output with ±8 mA drive; high-Z state isolates downstream circuitry during OE = LOW. |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output stage; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed ≤2 mm from pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 2 V–5.5 V operation enables drop-in use across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without redesign. |
| 5.5-V-tolerant inputs | Allows direct connection to legacy 5-V microcontrollers or sensors while VCC = 3.3 V, eliminating discrete level shifters. |
| Low dynamic power | 14 pF power dissipation capacitance minimizes switching current, reducing heat generation in thermally constrained enclosures. |
| Controlled edge rates | Δt/Δv = 20 ns/V at 5 V suppresses overshoot/undershoot on unterminated traces, easing signal integrity validation. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events in motor-control interfaces. |
Applications
| TV Backplane Control | Server Baseboard Management |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G126DBVT | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); 3.3-V optimized; 3.5 ns max tpd at 3.3 V; higher drive (±24 mA). | Better suited for 3.3-V-only systems requiring faster timing or heavier capacitive loads. | Select when speed >6 ns is required and VCC is fixed at 3.3 V; avoid if 2-V operation or 5-V input tolerance is needed. |
| SN74AHC1G125DBVT | Identical specs except inverted OE (active-low); same pinout, package, and electrical characteristics. | Used where system control logic asserts enable signals active-low (e.g., legacy FPGA I/O banks). | Drop-in replacement if OE polarity matches existing schematic; verify OE logic inversion in firmware/drivers. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G126DBVT, the SN74AHC1G126DBVT offers wider voltage flexibility and 5.5-V input tolerance but trades off 2.5 ns in speed; versus SN74AHC1G125DBVT, it differs only in OE polarity-no layout or BOM change needed beyond firmware logic adjustment.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74AHC1G126DBVT?
The SN74AHC1G126DBVT is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This specification is validated per JEDEC JESD51 thermal testing standards and applies to the DBV (SOT-23-5) package under natural convection conditions with recommended PCB copper area. Derating is not required within this range.
Does SN74AHC1G126DBVT support 5-V input signals when powered at 3.3 V?
Yes, SN74AHC1G126DBVT supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level. When powered at 3.3 V, its inputs remain fully 5-V tolerant - a key feature enabling seamless down-translation from legacy 5-V peripherals without external level shifters or clamping diodes.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for SN74AHC1G126DBVT?
A 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed ≤2 mm from the VCC pin (Pin 5) and GND (Pin 3) is the minimum recommended bypass. For systems with high-frequency noise or multiple logic devices, paralleling a 1 µF capacitor improves low-frequency decoupling. Avoid tantalum or electrolytic types due to ESR and aging effects.
Can SN74AHC1G126DBVT drive a 50-pF load within timing specifications?
Yes - at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, SN74AHC1G126DBVT guarantees tPLH/tPHL ≤9.5 ns and tPZH/tPHZ ≤11.5 ns into a 50-pF load. These values are specified across –40°C to +125°C, ensuring timing compliance in thermally demanding applications like motor control and medical imaging subsystems.
Is SN74AHC1G126DBVT pin-compatible with SN74AHC1G125DBVT?
Yes - SN74AHC1G126DBVT and SN74AHC1G125DBVT share identical SOT-23-5 (DBV) pinout, package dimensions, and electrical specifications. The only functional difference is OE polarity: SN74AHC1G126DBVT uses active-high OE (Pin 1), while SN74AHC1G125DBVT uses active-low OE. No PCB change is required.
