Product details
Overview
74HC4050D,652 from Nexperia is a hex non-inverting HIGH-to-LOW level shifter IC with overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 15 V), designed for interfacing 5 V/3.3 V logic with higher-voltage systems. It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivers ±25 mA output drive, and supports industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +125 °C) in SO16 package. Used in microcontroller I/O expansion where legacy 12 V sensors interface with modern low-voltage MCUs.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC4050D,652 datasheet, 74HC4050D,652 pinout, 74HC4050D,652 application, or 74HC4050D,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include input overvoltage tolerance, propagation delay at 6 V (7–14 ns), output drive capability under load, and compatibility with mixed-supply bus translation in industrial control modules.
Technical Context
The 74HC4050D implements six independent CMOS buffer stages, each accepting input voltages up to 15 V while powered from as low as 2.0 V - enabling true HIGH-to-LOW unidirectional level shifting without external biasing. Its input protection includes polysilicon clamping resistors and diodes referenced to VCC and GND.
All outputs are push-pull CMOS with symmetrical VOH/VOL specs (e.g., VOH ≥ 5.48 V @ IO = −5.2 mA, VCC = 6.0 V; VOL ≤ 0.26 V @ IO = 5.2 mA), ensuring robust noise margins across the full operating temperature range and supply voltage window.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct operation from 3.3 V or 5 V rails without LDO regulation |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 15 V - allows safe connection to 12 V sensor outputs or industrial fieldbus signals |
| Propagation Delay | 7 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - supports >30 MHz signal translation for fast digital interfaces |
| Output Drive | ±25 mA per channel - sufficient to drive multiple 74HC inputs or small LED indicators directly |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive ECUs and industrial PLC backplanes |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - reduces need for external TVS on board-level I/O lines |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW (SO16) - supports continuous operation at full speed without heatsinking in standard PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
74HC4050D,652 is housed in SOT109-1 (SO16), a plastic small outline package with 16 leads and 3.9 mm body width. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply rail | Primary power input; must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise on shared logic rails |
| GND (Pin 8) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal logic and output currents; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection |
| 1A–6A (Pins 3,5,7,9,11,14) | Buffer inputs | Overvoltage-tolerant inputs accepting up to 15 V regardless of VCC setting |
| 1Y–6Y (Pins 2,4,6,10,12,15) | Buffer outputs | CMOS-compatible outputs swinging rail-to-rail between VCC and GND |
| n.c. (Pins 13,16) | No-connect terminals | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or solder mask required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands 15 V inputs while VCC = 2.0–6.0 V - eliminates need for external level-shifting resistors or MOSFETs |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports direct integration into both 3.3 V and 5 V system domains |
| High noise immunity | VIH ≥ 4.2 V / VIL ≤ 1.8 V at VCC = 6.0 V - provides >1.5 V noise margin against EMI in motor-drive environments |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events |
| Low static current | ICC ≤ 40 μA at VCC = 6.0 V, VI = 15 V - enables use in always-on monitoring circuits without battery drain penalty |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex buffer level shifting applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC4050APWR | Lower max input voltage (5.5 V), 3.3 V only supply range, faster tpd (5.4 ns @ 3.3 V) | Not suitable for 12 V sensor interfacing; limited to 3.3 V domain bridging | Select when interfacing only 3.3 V systems and speed >100 MHz is critical |
| MC74VHC4050DT | Same 15 V input tolerance, but rated only to +85 °C ambient; lower ICC (20 μA typ) | Unsuitable for under-hood or high-temp industrial enclosures requiring +125 °C operation | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where extended temperature is not required |
Compared with SN74LVC4050APWR and MC74VHC4050DT, the 74HC4050D,652 uniquely combines 15 V input tolerance, +125 °C rating, and SO16 package - making it the only option for ruggedized 12 V-to-5 V translation in thermally demanding industrial settings.

FAQ
Can 74HC4050D,652 translate signals from 15 V to 3.3 V reliably?
Yes. Its inputs tolerate up to 15 V regardless of VCC setting, and outputs swing rail-to-rail between VCC and GND. With VCC = 3.3 V, it cleanly translates 15 V inputs to 3.3 V logic levels while maintaining VIH/VIL margins per JEDEC standards.
Is pin 13 (n.c.) required to be grounded or left floating?
Pin 13 is internally not connected and must remain unconnected - neither grounded nor tied to VCC. Routing traces or applying solder mask to this pad is unnecessary and may risk unintended coupling in high-frequency layouts.
What is the maximum capacitive load the 74HC4050D,652 can drive without signal degradation?
It is characterized up to 50 pF (per Table 7), with typical tpd = 14 ns at VCC = 6.0 V. Driving >100 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause ringing; for heavier loads, add series termination or use a dedicated driver stage.
Does the 74HC4050D,652 support bidirectional level shifting?
No. It is strictly unidirectional: inputs accept high-voltage signals, outputs deliver low-voltage logic. For bidirectional translation (e.g., I²C), separate dedicated translators like PCA9306 or TXS0108E are required.
