CD4078BE

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Overview

The CD4078BE is a single-function CMOS logic gate belonging to the 4000/14000/40000 series, manufactured by Harris Corporation. It integrates one OR/NOR gate with eight inputs and two outputs within a 14-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP-14). The device operates on a DC power supply ranging from 3V to 15V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum operating frequency of 3MHz at nominal supply voltages, a load capacitance rating of 50pF, and a maximum output current of 0.36mA. It supports an extended industrial temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific unit acquired matches the Harris Corporation manufacturing origin and the CDIP-14 ceramic package style. Confirm the presence of radiation-hardening specifications if required for mission-critical deployment. Ensure the component meets the specified -55°C to +125°C temperature range requirements for your intended application environment before integration.

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Selection Notes

Select this component when a single eight-input OR/NOR function is required in a radiation-hardened environment. The ceramic DIP-14 package is appropriate for applications requiring hermetic sealing and high thermal stability. Consider this part over plastic packages when long-term reliability under extreme temperatures or ionizing radiation exposure is a primary design constraint.

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Part Context

This component belongs to the extensive 4000/14000/40000 series of CMOS logic devices produced by Harris Semiconductor. While many parts in this family utilize standard plastic packaging, the CD4078BE specifically utilizes a robust ceramic construction. This distinction highlights its positioning within specialized high-reliability product lines rather than general-purpose consumer electronics.

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the CDIP-14 ceramic package and radiation-hardened specifications. Generic plastic-packaged equivalents lack the necessary environmental resilience. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the substitute maintains the 3V to 15V operating voltage range and 50pF load capacitance capability.
