Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output drive current of the CD74HC126E?
The CD74HC126E provides a maximum output low current (I(ol)) of 6mA, making it suitable for driving standard CMOS and TTL-compatible loads on shared data buses. This is consistent with the HC/UH logic family specifications.
How does the enable control work on the CD74HC126E?
The CD74HC126E uses active-high enable control. When the enable pin is driven high, the buffer output is active and drives the bus. When the enable pin is low, the output enters a high-impedance (3-state) condition, effectively disconnecting the buffer from the bus to prevent contention.
What package does the CD74HC126E come in, and is it RoHS compliant?
The CD74HC126E is available in a 14-pin Dual-In-Line (PDIP-14) through-hole package, which is convenient for prototyping and hand-soldering. It is Pb-free and RoHS compliant (JESD-609 Code: e4), with a 15-year end-of-life assurance (YTEOL: 15).
What are typical applications for the CD74HC126E?
Typical applications include bus buffering and isolation in microcontroller systems, memory interface expansion, I/O direction control, and logic-level signal switching in industrial, computing, and embedded electronics designs where tri-state bus management is required.
