MC74HC4050

• Output Drive Capability: 10 LSTTL Loads
• Outputs Directly Interface to CMOS, NMOS, and TTL
• Operating Voltage Range: 2 to 6 V
• Low Input Current: 5 A
• High Noise Immunity Characteristic of CMOS Devices
• In Compliance with the Requirements Defined by JEDEC Standard No. 7A
• Chip Complexity: 36 FETs or 9 Equivalent Gates (4049)
                              24 FETs or 6 Equivalent Gates (4050)

The MC54/74HC4049 consists of six inverting buffers, and the MC54/74HC4050 consists of six noninverting buffers. They are identical in pinout to the MC14049UB and MC14050B metalgate CMOS buffers. MC74HC4050 inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs; with pullup resistors, they are compatible with LSTTL outputs.

The input protection circuitry on these devices has been modified by eliminating the _VCC diodes to allow the use of input voltages up to 15 volts. Thus, MC74HC4050 may be used as logiclevel translators that convert from a high voltage to a low voltage while operating at the lowvoltage power supply. They allow MC14000series CMOS operating up to 15 volts to be interfaced with HighSpeed CMOS at 2 to 6 volts. The protection diodes to GND are Zener diodes, which protect the inputs from both positive and negative voltage transients.
