Product details
Overview
SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified quadruple bus buffer gate with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65V–3.6V VCC operation and 5.5V-tolerant inputs. It delivers 4.7ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, supports –40°C to +125°C operation, and features latch-up immunity >250mA per JESD17 - used in automotive infotainment data buses and ADAS sensor interface level-shifting.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 datasheet, SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 pinout, SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 application, or SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output control timing (ten/tdis ≤ 6.7ns), ground-bounce (VOLP < 0.8V) and undershoot (VOHV > 2V) performance at 3.3V, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for under-hood signal routing.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent CMOS buffer channels, each with dedicated active-high output-enable (OE) control enabling precise bus isolation. Each channel operates as a non-inverting driver with high-impedance (Z) state activated when OE = low.
Input voltage tolerance up to 5.5V allows direct interfacing with legacy 5V logic while powered from 3.3V or lower rails, making it suitable for mixed-voltage domain translation in automotive body control modules and gateway ECUs without external level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - enables compatibility with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and legacy 3.3V systems |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5V - permits direct connection to 5V peripherals without clamping diodes or external protection |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4.7ns at 3.3V - ensures sub-5ns timing margin for high-speed digital control loops in real-time automotive subsystems |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24mA at 3V - sufficient to drive 50pF loads across PCB traces and connectors in distributed vehicle networks |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for engine bay and powertrain applications |
| Latch-up Immunity | >250mA per JESD17 - guarantees robustness against transient current surges during ESD events or supply glitches |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - exceeds automotive system-level ESD immunity requirements per ISO 10605 |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC (D package), 8.65mm × 6mm body size, with exposed pad not present. Pin 7 is GND and Pin 14 is VCC; all four OE inputs are active-high and independently control corresponding A→Y buffers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 (1OE–4OE) | Input | Active-high enable for respective buffer channel - tie low for high-Z output; pulldown recommended at power-up |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 (1A–4A) | Input | Non-inverting data input per channel - accepts 0–5.5V signals regardless of VCC |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 (1Y–4Y) | Output | 3-state buffered output - high-Z when OE = low; drives rail-to-rail between GND and VCC when enabled |
| 7 (GND) | Power | Ground reference for all logic and output stages - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 14 (VCC) | Power | Supply rail for internal logic and output drivers - requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) - certified for automotive powertrain, chassis, and ADAS applications |
| 5.5V-Tolerant Inputs | Operates with 5V logic inputs while powered from 1.65–3.6V - eliminates need for discrete level translators |
| Low Ground Bounce | VOLP < 0.8V at VCC = 3.3V - minimizes noise coupling into shared ground paths in dense automotive PCBs |
| Fast Enable/Disable | ten/tdis ≤ 6.7ns at 3.3V - enables rapid bus arbitration and dynamic channel switching in multiplexed communication links |
| High Noise Immunity | VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC - maintains consistent logic margins across full supply range |
Applications
| Automotive Infotainment Data Bus | ADAS Sensor Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC125A-Q1 | Quad buffer with active-low OE (1OE–4OE inverted); otherwise identical electrical specs and packaging | Requires inverted enable logic from host MCU - unsuitable where OE polarity must match existing firmware | Select only if system design uses active-low enable signals and layout accommodates same pinout |
| SN74LVCH126A-Q1 | Includes bus-hold circuitry on all inputs; higher ICC (max 40μA vs. 20μA); same VCC, timing, and AEC-Q100 rating | Eliminates external pull-up/down resistors on unused inputs - beneficial in space-constrained modules with floating pins | Prefer when input stability without external biasing is required; verify bus-hold current impact on signal rise time |
Compared with SN74LVC126AQDRQ1, SN74LVC125A-Q1 requires OE logic inversion and SN74LVCH126A-Q1 adds bus-hold functionality at slightly higher quiescent current - both share identical 14-pin SOIC packaging and automotive qualification but differ in enable polarity and input handling architecture.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 inputs?
The SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 inputs tolerate up to 5.5V regardless of VCC level, enabling direct interfacing with 5V logic devices while operating from 1.65V–3.6V supplies. This specification is verified per absolute maximum ratings and confirmed in Section 4.1 of the official datasheet, with no derating required across the full temperature range.
Does SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 support AEC-Q100 qualification?
Yes, SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards (–40°C to +125°C), with test reports covering HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per JESD22-A114. This qualification is documented in the device folder and product change notifications, confirming suitability for automotive powertrain and chassis applications.
What is the typical propagation delay of SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 at 3.3V?
The typical propagation delay (tpd) of SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 is 4.7ns at VCC = 3.3V, TA = 25°C, as specified in Section 4.6 Switching Characteristics. This value applies to A→Y transitions under 50pF load and 500Ω termination, and remains within 6.2ns maximum across full operating conditions.
How should unused inputs be handled on SN74LVC126AQDRQ1?
All unused inputs on SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states that cause increased ICC and potential logic instability. TI recommends using pullup/pulldown resistors (e.g., 10kΩ) - guidance is provided in Section 7.2.1 Layout Guidelines and application report SCBA004.
Is SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 available in packages other than SOIC?
Yes, SN74LVC126AQDRQ1 is also offered in TSSOP (PW) and WQFN (BQA) packages, as confirmed in Section 2 and Table 10-1 of the datasheet. The SOIC variant (D package) is identified by orderable part number SN74LVC126AQDRQ1, while PW and BQA variants use distinct suffixes (e.g., PWRQ1, WBQARQ1).
