The SN74LV126AD is a quad buffer gate that belongs to the family of Low Voltage (LV) and Schottky/Advanced Low Voltage (74AS/74ALS/74ALS) Advanced CMOS (AC/ACT/ACT) logic gates. This IC component is designed to provide four independent buffer gate functions in a single package.
Key features of the SN74LV126AD include:
1. Voltage Compatibility: The SN74LV126AD is compatible with both TTL and CMOS voltage levels. It operates at a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications.
2. High-Speed Operation: It offers a low propagation delay and fast switching speeds, which ensures efficient operation in high-frequency applications.
3. Output Drive Capability: The SN74LV126AD is capable of providing high output drive current, which enables it to drive heavily loaded outputs without compromising performance.
4. Buffer Gate Functionality: It consists of four independent buffer gates, where each gate has a single input and a single output. These buffer gates are ideal for amplifying and buffering signals, as well as for signal isolation and level shifting.
5. Tri-State Output: The IC features tri-state outputs, which allow the output to be disabled and placed in a high-impedance state. This feature is beneficial for bus-oriented applications, where multiple drivers can be connected to a common bus
