Product details
Overview
CD4010CN from Fairchild Semiconductor is a hex non-inverting buffer IC in 16-lead PDIP package, operating from 3V to 15V supply, delivering 8 mA sink current at VO = 0.5V and VDD = 10V, with typical quiescent current of 0.01 µA at +25°C, used for CMOS-to-TTL level translation in industrial control and instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD4010CN datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its wide VDD range (3–15 V), buffered output architecture, high noise immunity (0.45 × VDD), and compatibility with legacy DTL/TTL logic interfaces without external pull-ups.
Technical Context
The CD4010CN implements six independent CMOS non-inverting buffer stages using complementary N- and P-channel enhancement-mode transistors, enabling rail-to-rail output swing and symmetrical drive capability. Its buffered outputs provide high gain and improved transfer characteristics versus unbuffered gates.
It supports dual-supply interface operation: VCC connects to TTL/DTL logic supply while VDD powers the CMOS side, allowing bidirectional voltage-level conversion across 3–15 V domains with no static DC power consumption beyond leakage.
Key Specifications

| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 15 V - enables direct interfacing with TTL (5 V), battery-powered (3 V), and industrial (12–15 V) logic systems |
| Output Sink Current | 8 mA min. at VO = 0.5 V, VDD = 10 V - drives standard TTL loads without external buffers |
| Quiescent ICC | 0.01 µA typ. at +25°C, VDD = 5 V - supports ultra-low-power standby in remote metering and battery-backed systems |
| Noise Immunity | 0.45 × VDD typ. - ensures robust operation in electrically noisy industrial environments |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns typ. at VDD = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - suitable for medium-speed digital control timing |
| Input Capacitance | 5 pF max. - minimizes loading on preceding CMOS stages and preserves signal integrity |
Pinout & Package
CD4010CN is housed in a 16-lead Plastic Dual-In-Line Package (PDIP), JEDEC MS-001, 0.300" wide, with 0.100" lead pitch and through-hole mounting.

| High noise margin | 0.45 × VDD typical - sustains reliable logic states under >2 V of coupled noise in industrial wiring |
| Zero static power draw | ICC = 0.01 µA typ. - enables decades-long operation in low-duty-cycle sensor nodes |
| Buffered output stage | Improved gain and reduced propagation delay variation - stabilizes timing in cascaded logic chains |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar non-inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4050BN | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but rated for −55°C to +125°C (same as CD4010CN); differs only in internal logic structure (non-inverting vs. inverting buffer family) | Functionally interchangeable as non-inverting buffer; CD4050BN is more widely stocked in PDIP | Select CD4050BN if higher-volume availability or broader distributor stock is required |
| MC14010BPG | Pin-compatible 16-lead PDIP; same VDD range and output drive, but slightly higher tPLH/tPHL (25 ns typ. at 5 V) | Suitable for lower-speed control logic where 15 ns propagation delay is not critical | Choose MC14010BPG when sourcing from ON Semiconductor channels or for legacy design continuity |
Compared with CD4010CN, CD4050BN offers identical performance and drop-in replacement capability, while MC14010BPG trades minor speed reduction for alternate supply-chain access-both preserve the same 3–15 V operation, buffered output, and industrial temperature range.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CD4010CN?
The CD4010CN has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 15.5 V at any pin relative to VSS, with recommended operating range from VSS + 3 V to VSS + 15 V. Exceeding 15 V risks permanent damage, especially during hot insertion; always observe the "no power-on connection" warning in the datasheet to protect the CD4010CN.
Does CD4010CN support level-shifting between different logic families?
Yes, CD4010CN supports CMOS-to-TTL/DTL level-shifting via dedicated VCC and VDD pins: connect VCC to the TTL supply (e.g., 5 V) and VDD to the CMOS supply (e.g., 3–15 V). This dual-supply configuration allows the CD4010CN to translate signals bidirectionally while maintaining noise margins and drive strength.
What is the typical propagation delay of CD4010CN at 5 V supply?
The CD4010CN exhibits typical propagation delays of 15 ns for HIGH-to-LOW (tPHL) and 50 ns for LOW-to-HIGH (tPLH) at VDD = 5 V, CL = 15 pF, and TA = +25°C. These values scale inversely with supply voltage-delays reduce to ~10 ns at VDD = 10 V-making the CD4010CN suitable for medium-speed control logic.
Is CD4010CN suitable for automotive applications?
The CD4010CN is rated for −55°C to +125°C operating temperature and meets automotive-grade reliability requirements for under-hood and body-control modules. However, it is not AEC-Q100 qualified; for safety-critical automotive functions, consult Fairchild's official automotive qualification documentation before deploying CD4010CN.
How does CD4010CN differ from CD4050BN in practical use?
CD4010CN and CD4050BN share identical pinout, supply range, output drive, and temperature rating; both are non-inverting hex buffers. The primary distinction lies in historical part numbering and minor internal layout-CD4050BN is more commonly stocked today. Engineers may substitute CD4050BN for CD4010CN without redesigning PCBs or modifying firmware.
