ON Semiconductor MC74HC126AN Quad Buffer

The ON Semiconductor MC74HC126AN is a high-performance integrated circuit designed to meet the demanding needs of complex digital systems. This quad buffer line driver features four independent buffer gates, each with a separate 3-state output that enables the user to connect multiple devices to a common bus without interference.

The MC74HC126AN is fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology, which provides a robust and reliable solution with high noise immunity and low power consumption. This makes it an excellent choice for interfacing with TTL levels, as well as for driving bus lines in a wide range of applications including computers, communication systems, data processors, and other digital systems where buffer logic is required.

Key Features:

• Logic Type: Quad Buffer, Non-Inverting
• Output Type: 3-State
• Package / Case: PDIP-14
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Supply Voltage Range: 2V to 6V
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to +125°C
• High Noise Immunity: Characteristic of CMOS devices
• Low Power Consumption: Ideal for battery-operated and portable applications

The device operates over a broad voltage range from 2V to 6V and can function at temperatures ranging from -55°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability across diverse environmental conditions. The MC74HC126AN comes in a PDIP-14 (Plastic Dual In-line Package) which is suitable for through-hole mounting, making it easy to integrate into existing designs as well as for prototyping purposes.

With its high drive current and fast switching capabilities, the MC74HC126AN is designed to directly drive the bus lines in a digital system. Its 3-state outputs can be placed in a high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting the output from the bus, which allows for multiple devices to share the same output lines without conflict.

In summary, the ON Semiconductor MC74HC126AN is a versatile and efficient solution for digital buffering needs, providing reliable performance with its advanced CMOS technology and 3-state output design.
