MC14012BCPG

Inverter Gates Overview

The MC14012BCPG is a dual 4-input NAND gate manufactured by onsemi, utilizing Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 Vdc to 18 Vdc and supports an ambient temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C. The device features buffered outputs capable of driving two Low-Power TTL loads or one Low-Power Schottky TTL load. Propagation delay times are specified as 160 ns maximum at 5 V, 65 ns at 10 V, and 50 ns at 15 V, all measured with a 50 pF capacitive load.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Dual 4-input NAND logic gates constructed with P-Channel and N-Channel enhancement mode devices in a single monolithic structure.
• Double diode protection provided on all inputs to guard against damage due to high static voltages or electric fields.
• Outputs are fully buffered, ensuring the capability to drive standard digital loads such as Low-Power TTL circuits.

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital logic applications requiring low power dissipation.
• Systems demanding high noise immunity for signal integrity.
• Direct interfacing with Low-Power TTL or Low-Power Schottky TTL logic families.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the datasheet indicates variations such as SOIC-14. Confirm compliance requirements including Pb-Free status and RoHS adherence. Note that certain prefixes like NLV may indicate automotive qualification or discontinued status; consult current manufacturer documentation to ensure the selected part number is recommended for new designs.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires dual 4-input NAND functionality within a CMOS architecture. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -55 °C to +125 °C temperature range. Verify that the system's supply voltage remains between 3.0 Vdc and 18 Vdc. Consider the propagation delay specifications relative to the target clock frequencies and load capacitance conditions.
