DM74LS126A Quad 3-STATE Buffer
DM74LS126A
Quad 3-STATE Buffer
General Descript ion
This device contains four independent gates each of which
performs a non-inverti ng buffer fun ction. The o utputs have
the 3-STATE feature. When enabled, the outputs exhibit
the low impe dance char acteristics of a sta ndard LS output
with additional drive capability to permit the driving of bus
lines without external resistors. When disabled, both the
output transistors are turned OFF presenting a high-imped-
ance state to the bus line. Thus th e output will act neith er
as a sign ific an t loa d n or as a d river. To min imi ze the po ssi-
bility that two out puts will att empt t o ta ke a co mm on bus to
opposite logic levels, the disable time is shorter than the
enable time of the outputs.
Ordering Code:
Devices also available in Tape and Reel. Speci fy by appending the s uffix let t er “X” to the orderin g c ode.

Absolute Maximum Ratings (N o te 1) Note 1: Th e “Absolut e Maximum R atings” are th ose values be yond which
the saf ety of the device cannot be guarante ed. The device s hould not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at t he abso lute maximu m rati n gs.
The “Re comme nded Operat ing Co ndition s” table will define the cond itions
for actu al device operation.
