CD4041UBF3A

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The CD4041UBF3A is a quad buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features four independent buffers capable of inverting or non-inverting logic states, housed in a 14-lead hermetic dual-in-line ceramic package (CDIP). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 18 V and supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C. It provides high-level output currents up to 24 mA and low-level output currents up to 24 mA.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Quad configuration with individually selectable inverting or non-inverting polarity for each channel
• Hermetically sealed 14-lead ceramic dual-in-line package suitable for harsh environments
• High output drive capability supporting loads up to 24 mA

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Military and defense electronic systems requiring radiation-hardened or hermetic components
• Industrial control applications involving high-temperature operation
• Buffering digital signals between logic families with varying voltage requirements

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the F3A suffix confirms the specific 14-lead hermetic ceramic dual-in-line package construction. Confirm RoHS exemption status as indicated for this military-grade variant. Ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation consistent with QML certified or military qualified product standards required for defense applications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when hermetic sealing and wide temperature tolerance are mandatory. Compare against plastic variants like the UBE if environmental protection is not critical. Verify that the 24 mA output current meets the load requirements of the destination circuitry without exceeding absolute maximum ratings.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the CD4041UB family of quad buffers and line drivers. The F3A suffix specifically denotes the hermetic ceramic package option, distinguishing it from standard plastic packages such as PDIP or SOIC. This packaging ensures reliability in extreme conditions where moisture ingress or mechanical stress could compromise standard semiconductor devices.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other CD4041UB variants with different package styles, such as CD4041UBE for plastic DIP or CD4041UBM96 for surface mount SOIC. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' quad buffer ICs only if pin compatibility and electrical specifications match exactly.
