The 74LVC126AS14-13 is a high-performance, quad buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs from Diodes Incorporated. This integrated circuit is designed to provide a high-speed, low-power solution for a variety of digital applications. It is particularly well-suited for use in bus interface or signal buffering applications where high drive capability and minimal propagation delay are required.

Key Features

• Wide Operating Voltage: The device operates on a wide range of supply voltages from 1.65V to 5.5V, which makes it compatible with various logic levels and suitable for battery-operated devices.
• High-Speed Performance: With a typical propagation delay of only 3.7ns, the 74LVC126AS14-13 ensures fast signal processing that is critical for high-speed digital systems.
• Low Power Consumption: The low power consumption feature of this IC makes it an excellent choice for power-sensitive applications, reducing the overall power demand of the system.
• 3-State Outputs: The 3-state outputs allow the device to be disconnected from the bus or shared lines, thereby preventing bus contention and facilitating easy multiplexing.
• High Drive Capability: It can drive up to 24mA at the output, allowing it to drive heavier loads when necessary.
• Bus-Hold Function: The inputs have a bus-hold feature which prevents floating inputs and eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors.
