Product details
Overview
SN74LV126ANSR from Texas Instruments is a quadruple 3-state bus buffer gate IC designed for voltage-level translation and bidirectional bus isolation in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 2V to 5.5V VCC, delivers ≤6.5ns propagation delay at 5V, supports Ioff for live insertion and partial power-down, and features 5.5V-tolerant inputs - enabling use in server backplanes, network switch data paths, and set-top-box logic interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV126ANSR datasheet, SN74LV126ANSR pinout, SN74LV126ANSR application, or SN74LV126ANSR equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed SOP-14 package mapping, validated 3-state timing behavior, real-world noise performance (VOLP <0.8V, VOHV >2.3V), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The SN74LV126ANSR implements four independent noninverting buffers, each with dedicated active-high output-enable (OE) control and true 3-state output capability. Its CMOS design ensures rail-to-rail output swing (0–VCC) and supports mixed-mode operation: inputs accept up to 5.5V regardless of VCC (e.g., 5V inputs driving 3.3V logic), while outputs are strictly limited to VCC levels.
It incorporates Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs and isolates I/O terminals when VCC = 0V, preventing current backflow during hot-plug events or partial system power-down. Latch-up immunity exceeds 250mA per JESD17, and ESD robustness meets ±2000V HBM and ±1000V CDM standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2V to 5.5V - enables interoperability across 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level shifters |
| tpd (max) | 6.5ns at VCC = 5V, CL = 15pF - guarantees sub-7ns signal propagation for high-speed bus buffering |
| Ioff | ±5µA at VCC = 0V - ensures safe live insertion and prevents back-drive damage during power sequencing |
| VIL/VIH | VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC - provides noise-immune input thresholds scalable with supply voltage |
| Output Drive | ±16mA at VCC = 4.5–5.5V - sufficient to drive 50pF loads with controlled edge rates, minimizing ringing |
| VOLP / VOHV | <0.8V / >2.3V at VCC = 3.3V - quantified ground bounce and undershoot limits critical for signal integrity in dense PCB layouts |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
SOP-14 (NS) package: 10.2mm × 7.8mm body, 1.27mm pitch, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 4OE, 3OE, 2OE | Active-high output enable (4×) | Each independently controls one buffer's 3-state output; tie low via pulldown resistor for safe power-up high-Z state |
| 1A–4A | Buffer input (4×) | 5.5V-tolerant CMOS inputs - accept logic-high up to 5.5V regardless of VCC value |
| 1Y–4Y | Noninverting buffered output (4×) | True 3-state outputs swing rail-to-rail (0–VCC) with ±16mA drive capability |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single supply pin powering all four buffers; must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor near pin |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal logic; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (2–5.5V) | Enables single part to serve multiple voltage domains - eliminates need for discrete level translators in mixed-supply systems |
| 5.5V-tolerant inputs | Allows 5V signals to safely interface with 3.3V or 2.5V VCC without external clamping or resistors |
| Ioff protection | Prevents damaging current flow when VCC is unpowered - essential for hot-swap backplane and modular system designs |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP <0.8V) | Reduces simultaneous switching noise on shared ground planes, improving signal integrity in multi-channel bus applications |
| Latch-up immunity >250mA | Guarantees robust operation under transient overvoltage or ESD stress per JESD17 standard |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC126A | Lower VCC min (1.65V), faster tpd (5.1ns @ 3.3V), but no Ioff support and reduced latch-up immunity (200mA) | Not suitable for live-insertion or partial-power-down systems; better for high-speed, fully powered logic-only designs | Select SN74LVC126A only if VCC ≥1.65V is guaranteed and Ioff is unnecessary |
| 74LVX126M | Narrower VCC range (2.0–3.6V), higher VOLP (≤1.2V), same 3-state architecture and SOP-14 footprint | Restricted to 3.3V-only systems; unsuitable for 5V-tolerant or wide-voltage-range applications | Choose 74LVX126M only for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only designs where 5.5V input tolerance is not required |
Compared with SN74LVC126A and 74LVX126M, the SN74LV126ANSR uniquely combines 5.5V input tolerance, Ioff protection, and full –40°C to +125°C operation - making it the sole option among the three for robust mixed-voltage hot-swap systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of the SN74LV126ANSR at 3.3V supply?
The SN74LV126ANSR has a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 9.5ns at VCC = 3.3V with 15pF load, per TI's SCES131J datasheet Section 5.7. This value is measured under recommended operating conditions and reflects worst-case timing across temperature and process variation - critical for synchronous bus timing margin analysis in the SN74LV126ANSR design.
Does the SN74LV126ANSR support live insertion when VCC is unpowered?
Yes, the SN74LV126ANSR supports live insertion via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0V, all outputs enter high-impedance state and input/output leakage remains ≤±5µA, preventing back-drive damage. This behavior is explicitly characterized in Section 5.5 of the SN74LV126ANSR datasheet and validated per JESD78.
What package type and dimensions does the SN74LV126ANSR use?
The SN74LV126ANSR uses the SOP-14 (NS) package: 10.2mm × 7.8mm body size, 1.27mm lead pitch, gull-wing terminations, and RoHS-compliant NIPDAU plating. Mechanical details including land pattern and stencil design are specified in TI's D0014A package outline drawing referenced in the SN74LV126ANSR orderable information addendum.
Can the SN74LV126ANSR interface 5V inputs with a 2.5V VCC supply?
Yes, the SN74LV126ANSR accepts input voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC value - enabling direct connection of 5V signals to its A-inputs while operating at 2.5V VCC. This 5.5V-tolerant input specification is confirmed in Section 5.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Section 7.3 (Feature Description) of the SN74LV126ANSR datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SN74LV126ANSR in its SOP-14 package?
The SN74LV126ANSR in SOP-14 (NS) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 89.6°C/W, as specified in Table 5.4 of the TI SCES131J datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions and is used to calculate maximum allowable power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures for the SN74LV126ANSR.
