The SN74HC126DR is a quad buffer/line driver integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is part of the 74HC series, which utilizes CMOS technology to deliver high-speed performance.
This IC offers four independent buffer gates in a single package, allowing it to amplify and drive signals efficiently. It is designed to handle both digital and analog signals, making it versatile for various applications.
Key features of the SN74HC126DR include:
1. High-Speed Operation: The SN74HC126DR is capable of operating at a high-speed, making it suitable for applications that require quick signal processing.
2. Wide Voltage Range: It supports a wide voltage range, from 2 volts to 6 volts. This flexibility ensures compatibility with different power supplies.
3. Tri-State Outputs: Each buffer gate in the IC has a tri-state output, which provides the option to disable or enable the output. This feature allows multiple ICs to share a common output line without interfering with each other.
4. Non-Inverting Inputs: The SN74HC126DR has non-inverting inputs, meaning the output signal follows the input signal without any phase inversion.
5. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The buffer gates have Schmitt-trigger inputs, making them less susceptible to noise and providing better signal integrity.
6. Output Drive Capability: These buffer gates can drive up to 5.2 mA of output current, enabling them to handle a wide range of loads
