CD74HC4050PWT

Overview

The CD74HC4050PWT is a hex non-inverting buffer manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the HC logic series. It features six input lines and six output lines in a TSSOP-16 surface-mount package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum high-level output current of -5.2 mA and a low-level output current of 5.2 mA. Static current is specified at 2 uA, with an operating supply current of 20 uA. Propagation delay varies from 85 ns at 2 V to 14 ns at 6 V. The component supports an extended industrial temperature range from -55 C to +125 C.

Feature Summary

• Provides six independent non-inverting buffer channels for signal conditioning
• Capable of translating between CMOS and TTL logic levels
• Designed for high-speed digital applications with defined propagation delays

Applications

• General-purpose buffering for digital logic signals
• Level shifting between different voltage domains
• Line driving in high-speed CMOS circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PWT against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the TSSOP-16 package and reel packaging details. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest regulatory documentation. Ensure the component matches the intended pinout and electrical specifications for the target design before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when six non-inverting buffers are required in a compact surface-mount form factor. Consider the HC logic family characteristics regarding speed and power consumption relative to other logic types. Verify that the TSSOP-16 package dimensions fit the available PCB space and that the operating voltage range aligns with the system power supply.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CD74HC4050 series of hex non-inverting buffers produced by Texas Instruments. It is designed for use in various digital systems requiring signal buffering and level translation. The HC series offers compatibility with standard CMOS logic families while providing improved switching speeds compared to older technologies.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements such as the CD74HC4050PWR variant which shares identical electrical specifications but differs in tape-and-reel quantity. Other compatible parts may exist within the same logic family from different manufacturers, provided they meet the pinout and performance requirements.
