MC14504BCPG

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC14504BCPG is a hex non-inverting level shifter utilizing CMOS technology, housed in a 16-lead Plastic DIP (PDIP) package. It operates with dual power supplies ranging from 3 V to 18 V for both VCC and VDD. The device translates TTL signals to CMOS logic levels or shifts between different CMOS voltage domains. It features diode-protected inputs to VSS and requires no sequencing on power supplies during operation.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Translates signal levels up from low voltage to high voltage or down from high to low based on supply selection
• Input threshold can be shifted to ensure compatibility with TTL logic standards
• Eliminates the need for specific sequencing of power supplies or inputs during power-up and power-down cycles
• Includes internal protection circuitry to safeguard inputs against excessive voltages relative to VSS

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Interface circuits connecting TTL outputs to CMOS inputs
• Voltage domain translation between two distinct CMOS logic families
• System designs requiring bidirectional level shifting without complex control logic

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'P' corresponds to the PDIP-16 package configuration as specified in the manufacturer's documentation. Confirm the 'G' suffix indicates Pb-Free compliance if environmental regulations require it. Ensure the component matches the exact MC14504B/D specification sheet revision to guarantee electrical characteristics align with design requirements.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between mixed logic families such as TTL and CMOS. It is suitable for applications requiring independent control over input and output voltage thresholds via separate VCC and VDD rails. Consider the PDIP-16 package constraints regarding board space and thermal dissipation compared to surface-mount alternatives.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ

How does the device determine the direction of level translation?

The direction is determined by the relative voltage levels of the VCC and VDD power supplies. Setting VDD higher than VCC performs an UP translation, while setting VCC higher than VDD performs a DOWN translation.

Is external sequencing required for the power supplies?

No, the device is designed to operate without any specific sequencing requirements for the power supplies or inputs during power-up or power-down phases.
