Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT1G126DCKT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel 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 quiescent current. It serves as a level-translating line driver in 5 V digital bus interfaces where controlled output enable and low-ringing signal integrity are required.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHCT1G126DCKT datasheet, SN74AHCT1G126DCKT pinout, SN74AHCT1G126DCKT application, or SN74AHCT1G126DCKT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SC-70-5 package details, functional mode behavior, real-world use cases in ADAS and server motherboards, and two validated alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The SN74AHCT1G126DCKT implements a true-buffer logic function with active-high output enable (OE), enabling high-impedance state when OE = LOW and transparent A→Y data flow when OE = HIGH. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) support reliable interfacing with legacy 3.3 V logic while operating from a 5 V supply.
It features slow edge rates to suppress output ringing under light loads, low ICC (≤10 µA), and robust ESD protection (±2000 V HBM). Thermal resistance is RθJA = 289.2 °C/W in the SC-70 (DCK) package, with operating temperature spanning –40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerance against supply ripple. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6 ns at 5 V, CL = 15 pF - Enables timing-critical bus buffering up to ~100 MHz clock domains. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at 5 V - Sufficient to drive multiple CMOS inputs or short PCB traces without external termination. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL voltage levels (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) - Allows direct connection to 3.3 V microcontrollers or FPGAs without level shifters. |
| Quiescent Current | 10 µA max ICC - Supports low-power standby modes in always-on subsystems like ADAS sensor hubs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - Meets JEDEC JS-001 for robust handling in manufacturing and field deployment. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHCT1G126DCKT uses the SC-70-5 (DCK) surface-mount package: 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm body size, 1.25 mm × 2.0 mm footprint, 1.1 mm max height, 5-pin single-row layout with pin 1 marked in the top-left corner (Q3 quadrant per tape orientation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-high output enable input | Drives Y to high-impedance when LOW; ties to GND via pulldown resistor for power-up safety. |
| 2 - A | True logic input | Accepts TTL-level signals; passes directly to Y when OE = HIGH. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 - Y | 3-state buffered output | Provides true (non-inverted) output; high-Z state prevents bus contention during disable. |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply rail | Requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin for stable switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | Enables seamless 3.3 V → 5 V up-translation without external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Slow edge rate control | Reduces output ringing and EMI on unterminated traces, critical for clean signal integrity in graphics cards and DLP systems. |
| Low ICC (≤10 µA) | Minimizes system standby power in always-on modules such as motor control watchdog circuits. |
| High-impedance output state | Prevents bus contention in multi-driver configurations like server motherboard address/data buses. |
| Latch-up immunity >250 mA | Ensures reliability under transient overvoltage or ground-bounce events per JESD17. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT1G125DCKT | Inverting buffer (A → Y̅); identical voltage, timing, and package specs. | Required where logic inversion is needed in signal path (e.g., active-low enable chains). | Select when functional inversion aligns with system-level control architecture; otherwise not drop-in. |
| SN74LVC1G126DCKR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher speed (tPD = 3.7 ns typ); 3.3 V optimized. | Better suited for mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V systems with tighter timing budgets. | Choose for new designs targeting broader supply flexibility and faster edges; requires validation of 3.3 V input compatibility. |
Compared with SN74AHCT1G126DCKT, SN74AHCT1G125DCKT provides identical performance with inverted logic, while SN74LVC1G126DCKR offers wider voltage operation and faster timing but shifts design focus toward 3.3 V-centric systems - making each suitable only when their specific functional or supply constraints match the target application.

FAQ
What is the recommended power supply decoupling for SN74AHCT1G126DCKT?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed within 2 mm of the VCC pin (Pin 5) and GND (Pin 3) to suppress high-frequency switching noise. For systems with multiple logic devices, adding a bulk 1 µF capacitor nearby further stabilizes the 5 V rail. This configuration ensures clean power delivery and prevents output ringing during fast transitions in the SN74AHCT1G126DCKT.
Does SN74AHCT1G126DCKT support 3.3 V input signals?
Yes - SN74AHCT1G126DCKT has TTL-compatible inputs with VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V, allowing reliable recognition of 3.3 V logic HIGH/LOW levels when powered from 5 V. This makes the SN74AHCT1G126DCKT ideal for up-translating signals from 3.3 V microcontrollers or FPGAs into 5 V bus domains without external level shifters.
What happens to the output of SN74AHCT1G126DCKT during power-up?
During power-up, the SN74AHCT1G126DCKT output enters an undefined state until VCC stabilizes and OE is asserted. To guarantee high-impedance at power-on, TI recommends tying OE (Pin 1) to GND through a pulldown resistor (value determined by driver strength). This prevents bus contention and ensures safe initialization of the SN74AHCT1G126DCKT in multi-device systems.
Can SN74AHCT1G126DCKT drive a 50 pF load reliably?
Yes - SN74AHCT1G126DCKT specifies tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9.5 ns and tPZH/tPZL ≤ 11 ns at CL = 50 pF and 5 V, confirming reliable operation into heavier capacitive loads typical of longer PCB traces or fanout to multiple gates. Its ±8 mA drive strength and controlled edge rates maintain signal integrity without external termination when driving such loads in the SN74AHCT1G126DCKT.
Is SN74AHCT1G126DCKT pin-compatible with other SC-70-5 logic buffers?
SN74AHCT1G126DCKT shares the SC-70-5 (DCK) footprint and 5-pin assignment (OE-A-GND-Y-VCC) with TI's SN74AHCT1G125DCKT and SN74LVC1G126DCKR, enabling mechanical compatibility. However, functional differences - such as inversion in SN74AHCT1G125DCKT - mean electrical substitution requires schematic review. The SN74AHCT1G126DCKT itself is not a generic drop-in replacement without verifying logic polarity and timing alignment.
