Product details
Overview
SN74AUC1G126DCKR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel CMOS bus buffer gate with tri-state output, designed for 1.65–1.95 V operation and 3.6-V I/O tolerant inputs. It delivers ±8 mA output drive at 1.8 V, achieves 1.6 ns typical propagation delay (CL = 15 pF), and supports partial power-down via Ioff. It is used in portable audio interfaces, SSD control logic, and LED indicator drivers where low-voltage signal buffering with fast edge rates is required.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AUC1G126DCKR datasheet, SN74AUC1G126DCKR pinout, SN74AUC1G126DCKR application, or SN74AUC1G126DCKR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5-pin SC70 package, sub-1 V operability, 2.5 ns maximum tpd at 1.8 V, Ioff-enabled back-drive protection, and compatibility with mixed-mode 1.8 V/3.3 V signal translation.
Technical Context
The SN74AUC1G126DCKR implements a noninverting buffer with active-high output enable (OE), enabling/disabling the Y output based on OE logic level. Its balanced CMOS push-pull output stage provides symmetrical sourcing and sinking capability up to ±8 mA at 1.8 V, supporting clean signal integrity into light capacitive loads.
It features overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 3.6 V), allowing interfacing with higher-voltage controllers while operating from a 1.8 V supply. The Ioff circuitry ensures high-impedance inputs and outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing current backflow during partial power-down sequences in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 0.8 V to 2.7 V; fully functional down to sub-1 V, optimized for 1.65–1.95 V nominal operation. |
| tpd (A→Y) | 1.6 ns typical at 1.8 V, CL = 15 pF; enables high-speed data path buffering in portable digital systems. |
| IOH/IOL | ±8 mA at 1.65 V; sufficient to directly drive LEDs or interface with standard CMOS inputs without external amplification. |
| Ioff | ±10 µA max at VCC = 0 V; isolates powered-down sections to prevent back-current damage in hot-swap or power-gated designs. |
| Input Tolerance | 3.6 V absolute max input voltage; supports level-shifting from 3.3 V or 2.5 V sources into 1.8 V domains without external components. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM; meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handheld and consumer electronics assembly. |
| ICC | 10 µA max; ultra-low quiescent current enables use in battery-powered always-on signal monitoring paths. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AUC1G126DCKR is packaged in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, with 0.65 mm pitch and bottom-side thermal pad not present. This ultra-small footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained portable devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Active-high output enable input | Drives Y high-impedance when low; must be pulled to GND via resistor during power-up/down to guarantee safe tri-state behavior. |
| 2 - A | Noninverting logic input | Accepts 0.8–3.6 V signals; overvoltage tolerant and compatible with 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic families. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal logic and output currents; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 - Y | Tri-state buffered output | Reproduces A when OE = high; enters high-Z state when OE = low; capable of ±8 mA drive at 1.8 V. |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AUC1G125DCKR | Inverting buffer (Y = NOT A); identical electrical specs, package, and Ioff behavior. | Requires logic inversion in signal path; unsuitable where polarity must be preserved. | Select only if system-level logic design accommodates inversion; otherwise, SN74AUC1G126DCKR remains the functional match. |
| SN74LVC1G126DBVR | Higher VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); 32 mA drive at 3.3 V; larger SOT-23-5 package (2.9 × 1.6 mm). | Better suited for 3.3 V–5 V systems; incompatible with sub-1.65 V operation or ultra-dense layouts. | Choose for legacy 3.3 V designs requiring higher drive; avoid when 1.8 V optimization or SC70 size is mandatory. |
Compared with SN74AUC1G126DCKR, SN74AUC1G125DCKR offers identical performance in an inverting configuration, while SN74LVC1G126DBVR trades ultra-low-voltage support and footprint for broader voltage range and higher drive-making SN74AUC1G126DCKR optimal for next-gen 1.8 V portable systems demanding minimal size and power.

FAQ
What is the recommended operating voltage range for SN74AUC1G126DCKR?
The SN74AUC1G126DCKR is specified for 0.8 V to 2.7 V supply operation, with optimal performance and guaranteed functionality between 1.65 V and 1.95 V. At 1.8 V, it achieves 1.6 ns typical propagation delay and ±8 mA output drive. Operation below 0.8 V is not characterized and may result in undefined behavior or increased ICC.
How does the Ioff feature protect circuits using SN74AUC1G126DCKR?
The Ioff feature in SN74AUC1G126DCKR disables both inputs and outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage current to ±10 µA. This prevents damaging back-current flow from live signal lines into a powered-down section-critical in multi-rail systems like SSDs or embedded PCs where power sequencing is asynchronous. The SN74AUC1G126DCKR thus enables safe partial power-down without external isolation components.
Can SN74AUC1G126DCKR interface between 3.3 V and 1.8 V logic domains?
Yes. SN74AUC1G126DCKR accepts input voltages up to 3.6 V while operating from a 1.8 V supply, making it suitable for translating 3.3 V control signals (e.g., from a PMIC or supervisor IC) down to 1.8 V logic domains. Its output remains compatible with 1.8 V receivers, and the 3.6-V tolerance eliminates need for external level shifters in SN74AUC1G126DCKR-based designs.
What is the correct power-up sequence for SN74AUC1G126DCKR to ensure tri-state safety?
To guarantee high-impedance output during power-up, the OE pin of SN74AUC1G126DCKR must be held low via a pulldown resistor to GND. TI recommends a resistor value selected based on the driver's sink capability-typically 10 kΩ suffices. This ensures Y remains in tri-state until VCC stabilizes and OE is intentionally asserted, preventing bus contention or unintended signal assertion.
Is SN74AUC1G126DCKR suitable for driving LEDs directly?
Yes. SN74AUC1G126DCKR can source or sink up to ±8 mA at 1.65 V, sufficient to drive standard indicator LEDs with series resistors. For example, at 1.8 V VCC and 2 V LED forward voltage, a 100 Ω resistor yields ~8 mA. Its fast 1.6 ns tpd also supports PWM dimming without waveform distortion. Always verify total output current stays within ±20 mA absolute maximum ratings per device.
