The 74HCT126PW,112 is a quad 2-input buffer with a tri-state output, belonging to the 74HCT series of integrated circuit components. It is designed to be compatible with the industry-standard TTL logic levels while operating at CMOS power levels, making it ideal for interfacing between TTL and CMOS devices.
Key features of the 74HCT126PW,112 include:
1. Buffer: It contains four separate buffer circuits, each with two inputs and a single output. These buffers can be used to amplify and transmit logic signals from one device to another.
2. Tri-state output: The output of each buffer has a tri-state configuration. This means that it can be set to three different states: logic high, logic low, or high impedance. The high impedance state allows multiple 74HCT126PW,112 devices to be connected to a common bus without causing conflicts.
3. TTL compatibility: The 74HCT126PW,112 is designed to be TTL compatible, meaning that its input and output levels are compatible with standard TTL logic levels. This makes it easy to interface with other TTL devices without the need for additional level-shifting circuitry.
4. CMOS technology: While being TTL compatible, this IC operates at CMOS power levels. It utilizes CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology, which offers benefits like low power consumption, wide voltage supply range, and improved noise immunity
