MC14050BDG

Overview

The MC14050BDG is a hex non-inverting buffer manufactured by onsemi, formerly Fairchild Semiconductor. It belongs to the 4000B CMOS logic series and operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 18 V. The device features six independent input lines and six output lines in a 16-pin SOIC package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum low-level output current of 30 mA and a high-level output current of -4.7 mA. Quiescent current is specified at 6 nA, with propagation delays ranging from 60 ns at 15 V to 140 ns at 5 V.

Feature Summary

• Provides six independent non-inverting buffering channels for signal integrity maintenance.
• Capable of driving higher load currents compared to standard inputs due to enhanced output drive capabilities.
• Operates across a wide DC supply voltage range suitable for various digital logic families.

Applications

• Interface buffering between different logic families or voltage domains.
• Driving capacitive loads in digital communication circuits.
• Signal conditioning for microcontroller I/O expansion.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'DG' corresponds to the SOIC-16 surface-mount package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the component source is an authorized distributor to guarantee authenticity and traceability for production environments.

Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple buffered outputs are required in a compact surface-mount form factor. Consider the specific propagation delay requirements relative to the operating supply voltage. Verify that the package thermal characteristics meet the design constraints for the intended application environment.

Part Context

This part is part of the MC14050B family of hex buffers. It serves as a successor to earlier MOS logic designs, offering improved noise immunity and lower power consumption compared to TTL equivalents. The device is widely used in general-purpose digital systems requiring signal isolation and level translation.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other hex non-inverting buffers from the 4000B series such as the CD4050. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Alternative packages like PDIP may be considered if surface-mount constraints are not present.
