Product details

Overview

74HC4050N,652 from Nexperia is a hex non-inverting HIGH-to-LOW level shifter IC with overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 15 V, 2.0–6.0 V supply range, and SO16 (SOT109-1) package. It enables interfacing between higher-voltage logic domains (e.g., 5 V or 12 V) and lower-voltage CMOS systems (e.g., 3.3 V or 2.5 V), commonly used in industrial I/O conditioning and mixed-voltage microcontroller peripheral bridging.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC4050N,652 datasheet, 74HC4050N,652 pinout, 74HC4050N,652 application, or 74HC4050N,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include input overvoltage tolerance (15 V), propagation delay (7–26 ns at VCC = 4.5–6.0 V), output drive capability (±4 mA at 4.5 V), operating temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C), and SO16 mechanical compatibility.

Technical Context

The 74HC4050N,652 implements six independent non-inverting buffer stages, each with diode-clamped inputs rated for 15 V absolute maximum input voltage-enabling direct connection to legacy 5 V, 12 V, or open-collector signals without external resistors. Its CMOS architecture ensures low static current (≤40 μA at 6 V) and high noise immunity.

Each buffer operates across a wide VCC range (2.0–6.0 V) while maintaining defined VIH/VIL thresholds per JEDEC JESD7A, and supports dynamic operation up to 22 ns propagation delay (VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF). Input leakage remains ≤±5.0 μA at 15 V input and full temperature range.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Supply Voltage	2.0 V to 6.0 V - Enables interoperability across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without level-shifting circuitry.
Input Voltage Range	0 V to 15 V - Allows direct connection to higher-voltage sources (e.g., 12 V sensors or legacy TTL) without clamping resistors.
Propagation Delay	7 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - Supports signal integrity in medium-speed digital interfaces up to ~30 MHz.
Output Drive	±4.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - Sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and moderate capacitive bus lines.
Operating Temperature	−40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and extended-temperature embedded controllers.
Input Leakage	≤±5.0 μA at VI = 15 V - Minimizes loading on high-impedance source circuits such as microcontroller wake-up pins or analog comparators.
Power Dissipation	500 mW (SO16) - Supports continuous operation in compact industrial enclosures with passive cooling.

Pinout & Package

74HC4050N,652 is supplied in a plastic small outline package (SO16), designated SOT109-1, 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
1	VCC	Positive supply rail - Must be decoupled locally with 100 nF ceramic capacitor to GND for stable switching.
2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 15	1Y–6Y	Buffer outputs - Non-inverting, CMOS-compatible outputs; each drives one independent signal path.
3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14	1A–6A	Overvoltage-tolerant inputs - Accept 0–15 V logic levels regardless of VCC setting.
8	GND	Ground reference - Shared return path for all buffers; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce.
13, 16	n.c.	No connect - Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND (not VCC) per Nexperia recommendation.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Overvoltage-tolerant inputs	Rated to 15 V - Eliminates need for external series resistors when interfacing with 5 V/12 V peripherals.
Wide VCC range	2.0–6.0 V - Allows single part to serve multiple voltage domains (e.g., 2.5 V FPGA I/O and 5 V sensor interface).
High ESD robustness	HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Reduces field failure risk in manual handling and unshielded industrial environments.
Latch-up immunity	Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - Ensures reliability during transient overvoltage events on input lines.
Low dynamic power	CPD = 14 pF - Limits switching power consumption in battery-powered or thermally constrained applications.

FAQ

What is the maximum input voltage rating for 74HC4050N,652?

The 74HC4050N,652 has overvoltage-tolerant inputs rated to 15 V absolute maximum, independent of VCC. This allows safe connection to 5 V, 12 V, or open-collector signals without external protection components. The 74HC4050N,652 maintains this rating across its full −40 °C to +125 °C operating range and complies with JEDEC JESD7A standards.

Does 74HC4050N,652 support bidirectional level shifting?

No, the 74HC4050N,652 is a unidirectional, non-inverting buffer - inputs (1A–6A) accept high-voltage signals and outputs (1Y–6Y) deliver corresponding low-voltage logic levels referenced to VCC. It does not support automatic direction sensing or reverse-path translation like dedicated bidirectional translators (e.g., TXB0108). The 74HC4050N,652 is intended for fixed-direction HIGH-to-LOW domain bridging.

What package type is used for 74HC4050N,652?

The 74HC4050N,652 uses the SO16 plastic small outline package (SOT109-1), with 16 leads and 3.9 mm body width. This package is RoHS-compliant, surface-mount compatible, and features standardized pin pitch (1.27 mm) and thermal characteristics (500 mW total power dissipation, derating linearly above 110 °C). The 74HC4050N,652 is not offered in TSSOP or SSOP variants under this specific order code.

Can 74HC4050N,652 operate at 2.0 V supply voltage?

Yes, the 74HC4050N,652 is fully specified down to 2.0 V VCC, with guaranteed VIH = 1.5 V and VOL ≤ 0.1 V at 20 μA load. At 2.0 V, propagation delay increases to ≤130 ns (−40 °C to +125 °C), making it suitable for ultra-low-power battery-operated systems where speed is secondary to energy efficiency. The 74HC4050N,652 maintains latch-up immunity and ESD robustness across the entire 2.0–6.0 V range.

Is 74HC4050N,652 qualified for automotive applications?

No, the 74HC4050N,652 is not automotive-qualified. While it operates from −40 °C to +125 °C and meets industrial reliability standards (JESD78 Class II Level B latch-up, HBM >2000 V), it lacks AEC-Q100 qualification, automotive-specific testing, and PPAP documentation. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends AEC-Q100 qualified alternatives such as the 74HC4050-Q100 series. The 74HC4050N,652 is intended for industrial, computing, and consumer applications only.
