Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT1G126DCKR from Texas Instruments is a single 3-state bus buffer gate with TTL-compatible inputs, operating at 4.5–5.5 V, delivering 6 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, ±8 mA output drive, and 10 µA max ICC. It serves as a level-translating line driver in 5 V digital buses where controlled output enable and low-ringing signal integrity are required.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHCT1G126DCKR datasheet, SN74AHCT1G126DCKR pinout, SN74AHCT1G126DCKR application, or SN74AHCT1G126DCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin package, true/non-inverting logic path (A→Y), OE-controlled high-impedance state, and compatibility with 3.3 V-to-5 V up-translation in space-constrained industrial and automotive interfaces.
Technical Context
The SN74AHCT1G126DCKR implements a CMOS-based non-inverting buffer with active-high output enable (OE), enabling bidirectional bus control when paired with complementary devices. Its TTL-input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) allow direct interfacing with legacy 3.3 V logic while driving 5 V loads.
It features slow edge rates (20 ns/V input transition rate) to suppress output ringing and overshoot, and includes latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD17 - critical for motor control and ADAS subsystems exposed to transient noise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures robust operation across industrial 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6 ns at 5 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >100 MHz bus timing margins in server motherboard data paths |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at 5 V - sufficient to drive standard 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple 74-series inputs without external buffering |
| Input Compatibility | TTL voltage levels (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) - enables direct connection to 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters |
| Quiescent Current | 10 µA max ICC - minimizes standby power in always-on ADAS sensor hubs and DLP projection timing modules |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level ESD robustness in graphics card add-in modules |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHCT1G126DCKR uses the SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin surface-mount package, measuring 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm body size with 1.25 mm width, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in compact embedded systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-high output enable | Drives Y to high-impedance when low; must be pulled to GND via resistor during power-up to prevent bus contention |
| 2 - A | True logic input | Accepts TTL-compatible signals; passes unchanged to Y when OE = high |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal logic and output current; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | Provides non-inverted A signal when OE = high; enters high-Z state when OE = low - essential for shared-bus arbitration |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | 5 V nominal supply; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Slow-edge output drivers | 20 ns/V input transition rate limits dV/dt, reducing EMI and eliminating overshoot on unterminated traces in motor control feedback loops |
| TTL-input compatibility | VIL = 0.8 V / VIH = 2.0 V enables seamless 3.3 V MCU-to-5 V peripheral interfacing without external translators in DLP projector timing chains |
| High-impedance output control | OE pin allows precise timing of bus release, preventing contention in multi-driver server motherboard memory buffers |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - ensures reliability in automotive ADAS camera modules subject to load dump transients |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G126DCKR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); 3.3 V optimized; 3.7 ns tPD at 3.3 V; ±24 mA drive | Better suited for mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V systems; higher drive may increase ringing without termination | Select when interfacing with 1.8 V/2.5 V logic or requiring higher sink/source capability at lower voltages |
| MC74VHC1GT126DTT1G | Wider VCC (2–5.5 V); 7.5 ns tPD at 5 V; ±8 mA drive; different SC-70 pinout (OE on pin 2) | Pinout incompatible; requires PCB redesign; identical functional behavior and thermal specs | Choose only if second-source qualification mandates ON Semiconductor parts; verify layout compatibility before migration |
Compared with SN74LVC1G126DCKR and MC74VHC1GT126DTT1G, the SN74AHCT1G126DCKR offers superior noise immunity via TTL input thresholds and guaranteed 5 V operation - making it optimal for legacy 5 V industrial backplanes where voltage margin and ESD robustness outweigh ultra-low-delay needs.

FAQ
What is the recommended power supply decoupling for SN74AHCT1G126DCKR?
TI specifies a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 5) of the SN74AHCT1G126DCKR, with short, low-inductance traces to GND (Pin 3). This mitigates switching noise and ensures stable 5 V operation during output transitions. For systems with multiple logic devices, paralleling a 1 µF capacitor is acceptable to suppress broader-frequency noise.
Does SN74AHCT1G126DCKR support 3.3 V input logic levels?
Yes, the SN74AHCT1G126DCKR supports 3.3 V input logic levels due to its TTL-compatible input thresholds: VIL ≤ 0.8 V (guaranteed low) and VIH ≥ 2.0 V (guaranteed high). A 3.3 V CMOS or LVTTL signal meets these conditions, enabling reliable 3.3 V-to-5 V up-translation without external level shifters - a key feature confirmed in TI's Application Information section.
What is the maximum output current rating for SN74AHCT1G126DCKR?
The SN74AHCT1G126DCKR is rated for ±8 mA output current per the Electrical Characteristics table under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = –40 °C to +125 °C). Absolute maximum continuous output current is ±25 mA, but sustained operation above ±8 mA risks exceeding thermal limits in the SC-70 package without heatsinking.
Can SN74AHCT1G126DCKR be used in automotive applications?
The commercial-grade SN74AHCT1G126DCKR operates from –40 °C to +125 °C and meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for latch-up (JESD17) and ESD (HBM ±2000 V), but it is not officially qualified as automotive-grade. For production automotive use, TI recommends the pin-compatible SN74AHCT1G126-Q1, which undergoes full AEC-Q100 qualification including HTOL and temperature cycling.
How does the OE pin function on SN74AHCT1G126DCKR?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on SN74AHCT1G126DCKR is active-high: when OE = high, the device passes the A input signal to the Y output; when OE = low, Y enters a high-impedance (3-state) condition. TI recommends pulling OE to GND via a pulldown resistor during power-up to ensure bus isolation before system initialization - a requirement explicitly stated in the Functional Description section.
