Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the CD4050BE?
The CD4050BE is a hex non-inverting buffer IC primarily used for CMOS-to-TTL level translation and signal buffering, providing six independent channels for interfacing between different logic families with different voltage levels.
Can the CD4050BE translate between CMOS and TTL logic levels?
Yes, the CD4050BE is specifically designed as a CMOS-to-TTL level translator. It can accept high-voltage CMOS input signals (up to 15V) and output TTL-compatible logic levels, making it ideal for interfacing legacy CMOS and TTL circuits.
What package is the CD4050BE available in?
The CD4050BE is available in a 16-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) with through-hole leads (JESD-30 code R-PDIP-T16), making it compatible with breadboards and standard through-hole PCB assembly for prototyping and low-volume production.
How many buffer channels does the CD4050BE provide?
The CD4050BE contains 6 independent non-inverting buffer channels, allowing a single IC to simultaneously buffer or translate 6 separate logic signals, which is useful for bus interfacing and multi-signal level shifting applications.
Is the CD4050BE RoHS compliant?
Yes, the CD4050BE is Pb-free and RoHS compliant as indicated by its JESD-609 e4 code and Pbfree Code designation, making it suitable for products that must meet environmental regulations such as the European Union RoHS directive.
