CD4078BF

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Overview

The CD4078BF is a CMOS logic gate from the Texas Instruments CD4078B series, configured as an 8-input NOR/OR gate. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 18V and supports a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. The device features a single circuit with eight inputs and one output, housed in a 14-lead hermetic dual-in-line ceramic package (CDIP). Key electrical characteristics include a low-level output current of 6.8 mA and a high-level output current of -6.8 mA.

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Feature Summary

• Configurable multiple-function gate capable of implementing either NOR or OR logic operations through external input selection.

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Applications

• Military and defense applications requiring QML certification
• Hermetically sealed digital logic circuits
• High-reliability electronic systems

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific orderable part number matches the required package type and suffix. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as hermetic ceramic variants may differ from standard plastic packages. Check the manufacturer's product life cycle status for availability and obsolescence warnings before finalizing procurement plans.

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Selection Notes

Select the CD4078BF when a hermetically sealed ceramic package is mandatory for environmental protection or radiation hardness requirements. Ensure the design accommodates the physical dimensions of the 14-lead CDIP housing. Verify that the application environment falls within the specified -55°C to +125°C operating temperature range.

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Part Context

The CD4078BF belongs to the CD4078B family of configurable logic gates manufactured by Texas Instruments. This family includes various package options such as plastic DIP, SOIC, and TSSOP, but the BF suffix specifically denotes the active production hermetic ceramic dual-in-line variant intended for demanding operational environments.

Gates And Inverters - Multi-Function, Configurable Replacement Considerations

The CD4078BF3A is listed as a related part number within the same package style. Other variants like CD4078BE offer similar functionality in plastic packaging. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications when substituting with non-hermetic versions.
