Buffer, Non-Inverting 4 Element 1 Bit per Element 3-State Output 14-DHVQFN (2.5x3)
Active126,544 in stock

Overview

The 74LVC126ABQ is a high-performance CMOS quad buffer featuring 3-state outputs and non-inverting logic. It operates over a wide supply voltage range of 1.2V to 3.6V and includes 5.5V tolerant inputs, making it an ideal candidate for mixed-voltage systems. Each of the four independent buffers is controlled by an active-high output enable pin.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers excellent flexibility for low-power designs with its Schmitt-trigger inputs that handle slow-rising signals and its 24mA drive capability. The compact 14-DHVQFN package provides significant board space savings and improved thermal performance compared to traditional SOIC or TSSOP footprints.

Applications

Voltage Level Translation
Interfacing low-voltage logic (down to 1.2V) with 5V systems thanks to overvoltage tolerant inputs.
Bus Driving
Managing high-impedance states on shared communication buses using the 3-state control functionality.
Signal Buffering
Improving signal integrity and driving capacity with 24mA output current for long PCB traces or high-capacitance loads.
Partial Power-Down Isolation
Using IOFF circuitry to prevent backflow current when the device is powered down but signals remain on the I/O pins.
