TC74HC4050AFTEL

Overview

The TC74HC4050AFTEL is a hex non-inverting buffer and line driver manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. It belongs to the HC logic series, utilizing CMOS technology for high-speed operation with low power consumption. The device features six independent input lines and corresponding output lines. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V. Key electrical characteristics include a propagation delay of 9 ns and an output current capability of 6 mA. The static current is specified at 1 uA. The component supports surface mount installation and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides six independent non-inverting buffer channels for signal conditioning
• Enables direct interface between CMOS and TTL logic families due to voltage compatibility
• Maintains low power dissipation through advanced silicon gate C²MOS fabrication

Applications

• Level shifting between different logic voltage domains
• Driving capacitive loads in digital circuits
• Signal buffering on data buses

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TEL' against official Toshiba documentation to confirm package type and reel specifications. Ensure the order matches the required tape and reel configuration for automated assembly processes. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and current production status before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex non-inverting buffer is required for HC-series logic applications. It is suitable for designs needing voltage translation between 2V and 6V rails. Consider the SMD package format for space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify that the 9 ns propagation delay meets the timing requirements of the target system.

Part Context

This device is part of the TC74HC4050 family of hex buffers. It serves as a standard logic interface component within Toshiba's semiconductor portfolio. The HC series is designed to offer performance comparable to LSTTL while retaining CMOS low-power advantages. It is widely used in general-purpose digital electronics for signal integrity enhancement.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other hex non-inverting buffers from the 74HC4050 family, such as the TC74HC4050AP or TC74HC4050BF, provided pinouts and electrical parameters are verified. Ensure any replacement maintains the same logic family and voltage operating range.
