74HC4050DB,112

Overview

The Nexperia 74HC4050DB,112 is a hex non-inverting buffer featuring over-voltage tolerant inputs rated up to 15 V. It operates on a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V and utilizes an SO-16 (SOT109-1) surface-mount package. The device supports propagation delays as low as 7 ns at 6.0 V with a 50 pF load. It complies with JEDEC standards for 2.7 V to 3.6 V and 2.0 V to 6.0 V operation, ensuring high noise immunity and CMOS low power dissipation across the specified temperature range.

Feature Summary

• Provides six independent non-inverting buffers designed for HIGH-to-LOW level shifting applications
• Features input pins tolerant to 15 V, allowing safe interfacing between different logic voltage domains
• Delivers high noise immunity and low static power consumption typical of CMOS technology

Applications

• Level shifting from higher voltage logic families to lower voltage CMOS circuits
• Interface buffering between microcontrollers operating at different supply voltages
• Signal conditioning in mixed-voltage digital systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '112' corresponds to the tube packaging format required for your assembly line. Confirm that the SO-16 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint design rules. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market regulations before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing 15 V tolerant signals into standard 5 V or 3.3 V logic systems without inversion. The wide supply voltage range allows flexibility in power design. Consider the propagation delay characteristics relative to your system clock speed to ensure signal integrity is maintained during transitions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices manufactured by Nexperia. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital signal routing and voltage translation. The device is distinct from inverters due to its non-inverting logic function and is commonly used alongside other 74HC family components in complex digital designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same logic family if availability is constrained. Verify that any substitute maintains the 15 V input tolerance specification to prevent damage during level shifting operations.
