Product details
Overview
74HC4050PW-Q100 from Nexperia is a hex non-inverting HIGH-to-LOW level shifter with overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 15 V), designed for automotive signal translation between higher-voltage domains (e.g., 12 V sensors) and 3.3 V/5 V logic. It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivers ±25 mA output drive per channel, and supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature - qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC4050PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HC4050PW-Q100 pinout, 74HC4050PW-Q100 application, or 74HC4050PW-Q100 equivalent, this device serves as a robust, six-channel unidirectional voltage translator in automotive body control modules, powertrain sensor interfaces, and infotainment system I/O expansion where input overvoltage resilience and CMOS low-power operation are critical.
Technical Context
This IC implements six independent non-inverting buffer stages, each with diode-clamped inputs rated to 15 V - enabling direct connection to legacy 12 V automotive signals without external resistive dividers. Each channel features rail-to-rail output swing referenced to VCC (2.0–6.0 V), with propagation delays as low as 7 ns at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 50 pF.
The device uses standard CMOS fabrication with enhanced ESD protection (HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V) and latch-up immunity exceeding 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B. Its static input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC min, VIL = 0.3×VCC max), ensuring reliable logic interpretation across supply voltages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers while supporting wide-input sensor domains. |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Up to 15 V - allows direct interface with 12 V automotive signals without external level-shifting components. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 7 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures timing-critical signal translation in fast-response vehicle subsystems. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±25 mA per channel - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or moderate capacitive bus lines. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive electronics. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - provides robust handling during assembly and field operation in noisy vehicle environments. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT403-1); 16-pin, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch; RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Positive supply rail - powers all six buffers; must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 15 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y | Non-inverting buffered outputs - each mirrors its corresponding input (1A–6A) with rail-to-rail swing. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14 | 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A | Overvoltage-tolerant inputs - accept up to 15 V regardless of VCC, enabling HIGH-to-LOW domain translation. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for supply and signal currents; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| 13, 16 | n.c. | No-connect terminals - internally unconnected; must remain floating, not tied to VCC or GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including reliability stress testing per JEDEC standards. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs (15 V) | Eliminates need for external voltage dividers when interfacing with 12 V sensor outputs or LIN bus signals. |
| CMOS low power dissipation | ICC ≤ 40 μA at VCC = 6.0 V and VI = 15 V - reduces thermal load in space-constrained ECUs. |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis and 30 % VCC noise margin ensure stable operation in electrically noisy engine compartments. |
| Latch-up immunity > 100 mA | Guarantees robustness against transient current injection events per JESD78 Class II Level B. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex non-inverting level shifter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G17QDRYRQ1 | Single-channel Schmitt-trigger buffer; 1.65–5.5 V supply; no 15 V input tolerance. | Suitable only for point-to-point signal conditioning within same voltage domain; lacks multi-channel integration. | Select when needing hysteresis for noisy signals but requiring minimal footprint - not for 12 V-to-3.3 V translation. |
| TXB0106PWR | 6-channel auto-directional bidirectional translator; 1.2–3.6 V and 1.65–5.5 V dual supplies; no 15 V input rating. | Supports bidirectional data flow (e.g., I²C), but cannot withstand automotive 12 V inputs without external protection. | Choose for mixed-voltage serial buses where direction control is dynamic; avoid for high-voltage sensor interfacing. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G17QDRYRQ1 and TXB0106PWR, the 74HC4050PW-Q100 uniquely combines six independent 15 V-tolerant inputs with AEC-Q100 qualification - making it the only drop-in solution for automotive HIGH-to-LOW translation without added protection circuitry.

FAQ
Can the 74HC4050PW-Q100 translate signals from 12 V to 1.8 V logic?
No - the device outputs are rail-to-rail relative to VCC, so a 1.8 V supply yields 0–1.8 V outputs. To interface with 1.8 V logic, VCC must be set to 1.8 V, but the datasheet specifies minimum VCC = 2.0 V. Therefore, 1.8 V operation is not supported; use 2.0 V minimum for valid functionality and AEC-Q100 compliance.
Are pins 13 and 16 required to be left floating, or can they be grounded?
Pins 13 and 16 are explicitly marked "n.c." (no connect) in the datasheet and internal die design. They must remain unconnected - neither tied to VCC nor GND. Grounding them may cause unpredictable leakage paths or violate internal isolation structures, risking parametric shift or long-term reliability degradation.
Does the 74HC4050PW-Q100 support bidirectional signal translation?
No - it is strictly unidirectional: inputs (1A–6A) accept overvoltage signals and outputs (1Y–6Y) drive CMOS loads referenced to VCC. There is no internal feedback path or direction-control logic. For bidirectional protocols like I²C, a dedicated auto-sensing translator such as TXB0106 is required.
What is the maximum capacitive load each output can drive while maintaining specified tpd?
The datasheet specifies dynamic characteristics at CL = 50 pF. Propagation delay increases linearly with load capacitance; at CL = 100 pF, tpd degrades by ~30 % versus 50 pF (e.g., 7 ns → ~9 ns at VCC = 6.0 V). For timing-critical applications, keep total node capacitance ≤ 50 pF unless re-characterized per actual layout and loading conditions.
