CD4081BK

Inverter Gates Overview

The CD4081BK is a CMOS quad 2-input AND gate manufactured by Harris Corporation. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 18V and features a ceramic flatpack (CDFP14) package with 14 pins. The device supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, suitable for military-grade applications. It provides buffered outputs for high noise immunity and pattern insensitivity.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input AND logic gates
• Utilizes CMOS technology for low power consumption
• Offers standardized symmetrical output characteristics
• Provides high noise immunity through fully buffered outputs

Inverter Gates Applications

• Military electronic systems requiring wide temperature tolerance
• Industrial control logic circuits
• General-purpose digital logic processing

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as the component was originally produced by RCA and later Harris Corporation. Confirm compliance status, as the provided data indicates the unit is not RoHS compliant. Ensure the ceramic flatpack package matches the design requirements for thermal and mechanical stability in harsh environments.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, hermetically sealed logic gate is required for extreme temperature conditions. The ceramic construction offers superior reliability compared to plastic packages. Verify that the 14-pin flatpack footprint aligns with the existing PCB layout and socketing constraints.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the CD4000B series of CMOS logic devices. It serves as a fundamental building block for complex digital systems. The 'BK' suffix typically denotes the ceramic flatpack packaging variant, distinguishing it from plastic DIP or SOIC versions within the same logical family.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the CD4081BE (PDIP), CD4081BM (SOIC), and CD4081BNSR (SOIC Reel). These alternatives offer identical logical functionality but differ in physical package type and mounting style. Verify pin compatibility before substitution.
