description
The ′BCT126A bus buffer features independent
line drivers with 3-state outputs. Each output is
disabled when the associated output-enable (OE)
input is low.
The SN54BCT126A is characterized for operation
over the full military temperature range of –55°C
to 125°C. The SN74BCT126A is characterized for
operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTE 1: The input and output voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output current ratings are observed.
