CD74HC4049M96E4

Overview

The CD74HC4049M96E4 is a high-speed CMOS hex buffer manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the HC logic family. It provides six independent buffers capable of inverting or non-inverting signal transmission. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports surface-mount installation in an SOIC-14 package. It features a propagation delay of 35 ns and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Provides six independent buffering channels for signal conditioning
• Supports both inverting and non-inverting logic configurations
• Operates with wide supply voltage flexibility from 2 V to 6 V

Applications

• Digital signal level translation between different voltage domains
• Bus driver applications requiring high-speed data transfer
• Clock distribution networks for timing synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96E4 against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Ensure the SOIC-14 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference the operating temperature range with your system's thermal constraints before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits that require robust buffering for multiple digital lines simultaneously. The HC series offers superior speed compared to standard 4000-series CMOS while maintaining low power consumption. Consider the 2 V to 6 V operating range to ensure compatibility with various logic families in mixed-voltage systems.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CD74HC4049 family of high-speed CMOS logic devices produced by Texas Instruments. It serves as a hex buffer solution within the broader 74HC logic portfolio, designed for general-purpose digital applications requiring reliable signal isolation and drive capability in compact surface-mount packages.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SN74HC4049 and CD54HC4049. Verify functional equivalence regarding inverting/non-inverting configuration options and electrical characteristics before substitution.
