The M74VHC1GT126DT1G is a high-speed logic gate IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It is a single buffer with 3-state output and provides a wide range of features that make it highly versatile in various electronic applications.
This IC is part of the VHC (Very High-Speed CMOS) series, which is designed to deliver low power consumption, high noise immunity, and high-speed operation. It supports a broad supply voltage range from 2.0V to 5.5V, making it suitable for both low and high voltage systems.
One of the key features of the M74VHC1GT126DT1G is its 3-state output function. This feature allows the IC to drive an output line to one of three states: high logic level, low logic level, or high impedance. The high impedance state helps prevent bus contention and allows multiple devices to share the same data lines, thus enabling efficient communication in multi-device systems.
Another significant feature is its fast switching speed, with propagation delays as low as 4.5 nanoseconds. This rapid switching capability makes it ideal for time-critical applications where fast data transmission or signal buffering is essential
