M74HC4050RM13TR

Overview

The M74HC4050RM13TR is a hex bus buffer manufactured by STMicroelectronics, belonging to the HC logic series. It utilizes C2MOS silicon gate technology and operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V. The device features six independent buffers with non-inverting logic functions. It is housed in an SOIC-14 surface-mount package and supports operation across a temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C. The component includes protection circuits against static discharge and transient excess voltage on all inputs.

Feature Summary

• Hex bus buffer configuration with non-inverting logic
• High-speed CMOS fabrication using C2MOS technology
• Wide operating voltage range from 2 V to 6 V
• Integrated input protection against electrostatic discharge

Applications

• Bus-oriented transmission applications
• Clock distribution and buffering
• Memory address decoding
• Carry propagation in high-speed arithmetic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RM13TR corresponds to the SOIC-14 tape and reel packaging format. Confirm AEC-Q100 automotive qualification status if required for the application. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with the manufacturer's standard reel size specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm current manufacturing compliance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex non-inverting buffer is required for signal isolation or level shifting within the 2 V to 6 V range. It serves as a pin-compatible alternative to legacy 74-series equivalents. Consider the SOIC-14 package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the noise immunity and propagation delay characteristics meet the system timing requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M74HCxxx series of high-speed CMOS logic functions designed for demanding environments. The series offers wide operating voltage ranges and low power dissipation. These components are widely used in digital systems requiring reliable logic buffering and signal conditioning across industrial and automotive temperature extremes.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same HC family. Verify functional equivalence for non-inverting hex buffering. Ensure voltage and temperature ratings match the original design specifications before substitution.
