Product details
Overview
SN74LVC2G126DCUT from Texas Instruments is a dual 3-state noninverting bus buffer gate optimized for 1.65 V to 5.5 V operation, delivering ±24 mA output drive at 3.3 V, 4 ns max propagation delay, and 5.5 V-tolerant inputs - enabling voltage-level translation in high-speed digital interface circuits such as LED drivers and wired-OR logic networks.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC2G126DCUT datasheet, SN74LVC2G126DCUT pinout, SN74LVC2G126DCUT application, or SN74LVC2G126DCUT equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled live insertion support, 3-state output control timing (ten/tdis), thermal resistance (227°C/W), and VSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC2G126DCUT implements two independent noninverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (1OE, 2OE) control, supporting simultaneous bidirectional bus isolation. Its CMOS design ensures rail-to-rail output swing and low ICC (10 µA max) across –40°C to +125°C.
It features Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe partial-power-down and hot-plug operation. Input tolerance up to 5.5 V allows down-translation from 5 V logic to 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V domains without external level shifters.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and single-supply flexibility |
| tpd (max) | 4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - enables reliable operation in ≤100 MHz digital signal paths |
| IOL / IOH | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - drives multiple LVTTL loads or LEDs directly without buffering |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - permits 5 V inputs while operating at 1.8 V–3.3 V VCC for voltage translation |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA max - prevents back-drive and leakage during power sequencing or hot-swap events |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM, 1000 V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements |

Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DCU) package: 2.30 mm × 2.00 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, thin-profile surface-mount construction suitable for high-density routing and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Active-low enable input for Channel 1 | Drives 1Y high-impedance when low; ties to VCC via pulldown for power-up safety |
| 1A | Noninverting data input for Channel 1 | Accepts 0–5.5 V signals; level-translates down to VCC domain |
| 1Y | Noninverting buffered output for Channel 1 | 3-state capable; sinks/sours ±24 mA at 3.3 V |
| 2OE | Active-low enable input for Channel 2 | Independent control enables selective channel isolation in multi-bus systems |
| 2A | Noninverting data input for Channel 2 | Electrically identical to 1A; supports parallel or independent signal paths |
| 2Y | Noninverting buffered output for Channel 2 | Matches 1Y timing and drive; enables dual-channel fanout or redundancy |
| GND | Ground reference | Single ground pin shared by both channels; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| VCC | Power supply | Supplies both buffers; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2G125DCUT | Inverting output logic (Y = A̅) vs. noninverting (Y = A); otherwise identical electrical specs and pinout | Requires logic inversion in upstream/downstream logic; unsuitable where signal polarity must be preserved | Select SN74LVC2G125DCUT only when inverting function is explicitly required in the signal path |
| 74LVC2G126GW,125 (Nexperia) | Same function and VSSOP-8 package; slightly higher max tpd (4.5 ns @ 3.3 V) and lower Ioff (±5 µA) | Valid for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 0.5 ns timing margin is acceptable | Prefer SN74LVC2G126DCUT for timing-critical or high-reliability applications requiring TI's validated 4 ns spec and 100 mA latch-up rating |
Compared with SN74LVC2G126DCUT, SN74LVC2G125DCUT changes signal polarity but retains identical drive strength and translation capability, while 74LVC2G126GW,125 offers functional equivalence with minor timing and leakage trade-offs - making SN74LVC2G126DCUT optimal for precision noninverting buffering where TI qualification and 4 ns performance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVC2G126DCUT?
The SN74LVC2G126DCUT is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C, meeting industrial and extended-temperature requirements. This specification is validated per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up testing and thermal characterization in the VSSOP-8 package, with RθJA = 227°C/W. The device maintains full electrical performance across this range, including 4 ns max tpd at 125°C when VCC = 3.3 V.
Does the SN74LVC2G126DCUT support voltage-level translation?
Yes, the SN74LVC2G126DCUT supports down-translation: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65 V–5.5 V), allowing 5 V signals to safely drive the device while operating at 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. This eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage interfaces - confirmed by TI's "Allows down voltage translation" feature description and VI absolute max rating of 6.5 V.
What is the purpose of the Ioff feature in the SN74LVC2G126DCUT?
The Ioff feature disables output buffers and blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging back-drive current from live system buses into a powered-down device. For the SN74LVC2G126DCUT, this enables safe live insertion, partial-power-down operation, and hot-swap capability - verified by ±10 µA max Ioff current and explicit JESD78 Class II latch-up compliance.
Can the SN74LVC2G126DCUT drive LEDs directly?
Yes, the SN74LVC2G126DCUT can drive LEDs directly: each output delivers ±24 mA at VCC = 3.3 V, sufficient for standard indicator LEDs (typically 5–20 mA). Its 3-state control allows dynamic on/off switching, and VOLP < 0.8 V minimizes ground bounce during rapid LED toggling - as confirmed in TI's "Basic LED Driver" typical application schematic and electrical characteristics table.
Is the SN74LVC2G126DCUT pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
No - the SN74LVC2G126DCUT uses the VSSOP-8 (DCU) package with 2.30 mm × 2.00 mm body and 0.5 mm pitch, differing mechanically from the SSOP-8 (DCT) and DSBGA-8 (YZP) variants. While all share identical pin functions and logic behavior, PCB footprints are not interchangeable; layout must match the DCU mechanical drawing (SLMS127) and tape-and-reel quadrant Q3 orientation.
