CD74HC4050PWRG4

Overview

The CD74HC4050PWRG4 is a hex non-inverting buffer and level translator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and features six independent input-output channels. The device utilizes HC CMOS logic technology and is housed in a TSSOP-16 surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum low-level output current of 5.2 mA and a high-level output current of -5.2 mA. Propagation delay varies with voltage, ranging from 85 ns at 2 V to 14 ns at 6 V. It supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides six independent non-inverting signal paths for buffering or level translation between different voltage domains.
• Capable of translating signals from lower voltage inputs to higher voltage outputs within the specified supply range.
• Designed for high-speed digital applications with propagation delays as low as 14 ns at 6 V.

Applications

• Level shifting between microcontroller I/Os and peripheral devices operating at different voltage levels.
• Buffering digital signals in high-speed data transmission lines.
• Interface circuits connecting low-voltage logic families to higher-voltage loads.

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix 'G4' to ensure compliance with specific environmental standards.
