MC14504BF

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC14504BF is a hex non-inverting level shifter utilizing CMOS technology, manufactured by onsemi. It provides six independent channels for shifting TTL signals to CMOS logic levels or translating between different CMOS voltage levels. The device operates with VCC and VDD supply voltages ranging from 3V to 18V. Input threshold selection allows compatibility with TTL standards. The component features diode-protected inputs and requires no sequencing during power-up or power-down.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Translates signal levels up from low voltage or down from high voltage based on supply configuration
• Configurable input thresholds enable direct interface with TTL-compatible logic families
• Includes internal protection circuitry at the input pins to guard against overvoltage conditions

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Interface circuits connecting TTL outputs to CMOS inputs
• Voltage translation between distinct CMOS logic families operating at different supply rails
• System designs requiring bidirectional level shifting without complex sequencing logic

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the base part number covers multiple physical formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the assembly process. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the intended PCB footprint and soldering profile requirements.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing mixed-voltage logic domains within a single system. It is suitable for applications where simple, non-inverting level translation is required without additional control logic. Consider the maximum supply voltage limits and thermal dissipation characteristics relative to the ambient operating environment.
