What are the key features of CD74HC21MG4?
- Dual 4-input AND gate enabling compact multi-condition enable logic, replacing up to 3 cascaded 2-input AND gates in a single device stage
- HC High-Speed CMOS technology with 4 mA output drive and 50 pF load characterization, operating from 2 V to 6 V for 3.3 V and 5 V system compatibility
- 14-pin SOIC plastic/epoxy SMT package with e4 JEDEC halogen-free rating, suitable for RoHS-compliant and green electronics designs
What is CD74HC21MG4 used for?
The CD74HC21MG4 is used in combinational enable logic circuits where all 4 of a set of control or status signals must simultaneously be true before activating a downstream function, such as chip-select decoding in multi-condition address decoders. It also serves in safety interlock circuits for industrial machinery, where 4 independent sensor or switch inputs must all be active before enabling a motor start command. The wide supply range of 2 V to 6 V makes it compatible with both legacy 5 V TTL systems and modern 3.3 V microcontroller-based designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does using the CD74HC21MG4's 4-input AND gate reduce propagation delay compared to cascading 2-input AND gates?
Implementing a 4-input AND function with standard dual 2-input AND gates requires 3 cascaded gate stages, each adding 7–10 ns of propagation delay at 5 V supply. The CD74HC21MG4 performs the same 4-input AND in a single gate stage, cutting total propagation delay by roughly 2 gate delays—about 14–20 ns—which is critical in timing-sensitive enable decode paths running at 20 MHz or higher clock rates.
What supply voltage range and output drive current does the CD74HC21MG4 provide?
The CD74HC21MG4 operates from 2 V to 6 V supply voltage, making it compatible with 3.3 V, 5 V, and intermediate logic rails. At 5 V it delivers a maximum output low current (I_OL) of 4 mA, which is sufficient to drive up to about 40 standard CMOS inputs or a single low-power indicator LED with a series resistor without violating output voltage specifications.
In what safety-critical interlock scenarios is the CD74HC21MG4 well suited?
Industrial safety interlocks often require that 4 independent conditions—such as door closed, guard in place, E-stop released, and power stable—all be simultaneously asserted before a motor or actuator can start. The CD74HC21MG4 implements this 4-input AND check in hardware at gate speed, responding in under 10 ns with no firmware latency, ensuring faster and more deterministic fault response than a software polled solution.
What is the significance of the e4 JEDEC environmental rating on the CD74HC21MG4?
The e4 JEDEC-609 code indicates the CD74HC21MG4 is manufactured without intentionally added lead (Pb-free) and meets RoHS halogen-free requirements. This classification is mandatory for products sold in the EU under the RoHS directive and is increasingly required by OEM procurement standards in consumer electronics, automotive Tier-1 suppliers, and green electronics programs worldwide, simplifying compliance for designs that include this part.
