Product details
Overview
SN74AUC126RGYR from Texas Instruments is a quadruple bus buffer gate with 3-state outputs, designed for low-voltage digital logic interfacing in mixed-signal systems. It operates from 0.8 V to 2.7 V (optimized at 1.6–1.95 V), delivers ±8-mA output drive at 1.8 V, achieves 2.1 ns max propagation delay, and supports Ioff partial-power-down mode - enabling use in battery-powered portable interfaces and voltage-level translation between 1.8-V and 3.3-V domains.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AUC126RGYR datasheet, SN74AUC126RGYR pinout, SN74AUC126RGYR application, or SN74AUC126RGYR equivalent, key selection criteria include sub-2-V operation capability, 3-state bus isolation timing, Ioff-enabled power sequencing, and QFN-14 thermal performance in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent noninverting buffers, each with dedicated 3-state output-enable (OE) control. All outputs enter high-impedance state when OE is low, and all inputs tolerate up to 3.6-V signals regardless of VCC - enabling robust level-shifting across voltage domains without external components.
The Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking reverse current flow even when VCC = 0 V and input/output pins are biased to active voltages. Its 1.8-V optimized design achieves 2.1 ns tpd with 15-pF load, while maintaining <10 µA ICC across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 0.8 V to 2.7 V - supports ultra-low-voltage SoC I/O rails and legacy 1.8-V/2.5-V system interfaces |
| tpd (Max) | 2.1 ns at 1.8 V, CL = 15 pF - enables high-speed data buffering in DDR memory subsystems and FPGA configuration buses |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at 1.8 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or short PCB traces without signal degradation |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA max at VI/VO = 2.7 V, VCC = 0 V - prevents backflow damage during hot-insertion or staggered power sequencing |
| IOZ (Hi-Z Leakage) | ±10 µA at VCC = 2.7 V - ensures stable bus contention-free isolation in shared-data-path architectures |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1500-V CDM - meets industrial-grade reliability requirements without external protection |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5 V to 3.6 V - allows direct connection to 3.3-V drivers while powered from 1.8-V supply |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-14 (RGY) package: 3.5 mm × 3.5 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, 1 mm max height, exposed thermal pad requiring PCB soldering for thermal and mechanical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2, 5, 9, 12 | A (Input) | Noninverting data input for corresponding buffer channel |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | Y (Output) | 3-state buffered output; high-impedance when OE = L |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains |
| 14 | VCC | Core supply (0.8–2.7 V); must be decoupled locally with 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC126APWR | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); higher tpd (3.7 ns @ 3.3 V); no sub-1-V operation | Better suited for 3.3-V-only systems; lacks Ioff and 1.8-V optimization | Select when interfacing legacy 3.3-V peripherals without need for ultra-low-voltage support |
| 74AUP1G125GW,125 | Single-channel; lower drive (±4 mA @ 1.2 V); smaller XSON-6 package; 1.8-V typical but not optimized | Used where per-channel enable granularity and minimal footprint outweigh quad integration | Choose for space-limited designs needing individual channel control rather than grouped buffering |
Compared with SN74LVC126APWR and 74AUP1G125GW,125, the SN74AUC126RGYR uniquely combines quad-channel density, 1.8-V speed optimization, Ioff safety, and 3.6-V I/O tolerance - making it the preferred choice for next-generation low-power mixed-voltage interconnects where timing, power, and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for functional operation of the SN74AUC126RGYR?
The SN74AUC126RGYR is fully specified from 0.8 V to 2.7 V, with guaranteed operation down to 0.8 V. However, its optimized performance window is 1.6 V to 1.95 V - at 0.8 V, propagation delay increases significantly (e.g., 5.8 ns typ), and output drive drops to ±0.7 mA. For reliable high-speed operation, SN74AUC126RGYR should be operated within its 1.6–1.95 V sweet spot.
Does the SN74AUC126RGYR support hot-swap or live-insertion into a powered system?
Yes - the SN74AUC126RGYR supports hot-swap via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, the Ioff circuitry limits input/output leakage to ±10 µA even if pins are biased to 2.7 V, preventing damaging back-current flow. This makes SN74AUC126RGYR suitable for modular backplane designs and field-replaceable units where cards may be inserted while system power remains active.
How should unused inputs on the SN74AUC126RGYR be handled to ensure stable operation?
All unused inputs on the SN74AUC126RGYR must be tied to either VCC or GND - floating inputs can cause excessive ICC, oscillation, or unpredictable output states due to CMOS threshold sensitivity. TI recommends connecting unused OE pins to GND (to disable outputs) and unused A inputs to GND or VCC depending on desired default logic level. This requirement is explicitly stated in the recommended operating conditions section of the SN74AUC126RGYR datasheet.
What is the thermal pad soldering requirement for the SN74AUC126RGYR's RGY package?
The SN74AUC126RGYR's VQFN-14 (RGY) package includes an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a PCB copper pour connected to GND. TI specifies this as mandatory for both thermal dissipation (θJA = 47°C/W) and mechanical reliability. The recommended land pattern uses 80% solder paste coverage on a 2.05 mm × 2.05 mm thermal pad with 0.125-mm stencil thickness - failure to solder the pad degrades thermal performance by >30% and risks solder joint fracture under thermal cycling.
Can the SN74AUC126RGYR be used as a level shifter between 1.8-V and 3.3-V logic domains?
Yes - the SN74AUC126RGYR supports true level-shifting functionality: it accepts 0–3.6-V inputs while powered from 1.8-V VCC, and outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 to VCC). When driving a 3.3-V receiver, the 1.8-V output may fall below VIH thresholds; however, when receiving 3.3-V signals (e.g., from a 3.3-V microcontroller GPIO), SN74AUC126RGYR interprets them correctly without damage - making it ideal for unidirectional upstream signal conditioning in mixed-voltage systems.
