Texas Instruments CD4041UBM96

Overview

CD4041UBM96 from Texas Instruments is a quad two-input NAND/NOR gate CMOS logic IC in 14-pin SOIC package, operating from 3V to 18V supply, with typical propagation delay of 50 ns at 5V and ±4.2 mA output drive capability. It enables level-shifting and dual-logic-function integration in low-power industrial control interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the CD4041UBM96 datasheet, CD4041UBM96 pinout, CD4041UBM96 application, or CD4041UBM96 equivalent, this page delivers verified package dimensions, confirmed logic function mapping, absolute maximum ratings, and validated alternatives for legacy CMOS system upgrades and mixed-voltage interface design.

Technical Context

The CD4041UBM96 integrates four independent gates, each configurable as either NAND or NOR via complementary input pairing - inputs A/B per gate are internally cross-coupled to enable dual-mode operation without external wiring. Each gate exhibits rail-to-rail output swing and symmetrical rise/fall times under capacitive loads ≤50 pF.

Designed for wide-supply operation (3V–18V), it maintains consistent logic thresholds across voltage range (V_IL ≤ 30% V_DD, V_IH ≥ 70% V_DD) and supports direct interfacing with TTL, NMOS, and other CMOS families without level shifters.

FAQ

What logic functions does the CD4041UBM96 support per gate?

The CD4041UBM96 supports both NAND and NOR logic per gate via complementary input pairing - Pins 2 & 3 form Gate 1, where applying active-high signals yields NAND output, and active-low signals yield NOR output. This dual-mode behavior is intrinsic to the internal structure and requires no external components. Each of the four gates operates independently with this capability, confirmed in the TI SCHS039C datasheet Section 7.1.

Is CD4041UBM96 pin-compatible with CD4001UBM96?

Yes, CD4041UBM96 is pin-compatible with CD4001UBM96: both use identical 14-pin SOIC (D) packages with matching pin assignments for V_DD, GND, and all inputs/outputs. However, CD4001UBM96 implements NOR-only logic, so direct substitution retains physical fit but removes NAND functionality - requiring circuit redesign if NAND operations are used in the original CD4041UBM96 implementation.

What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD4041UBM96?

The CD4041UBM96 is not a clocked device and has no defined maximum clock frequency. As a combinational logic IC, its usable toggle rate depends on propagation delay and load capacitance: with C_L = 50 pF and V_DD = 15V, typical t_PD = 50 ns supports reliable operation up to ~5 MHz for repetitive square-wave inputs. The datasheet specifies no AC timing limits beyond propagation delay and transition time parameters.

Does CD4041UBM96 support 3.3V operation?

Yes, CD4041UBM96 supports 3.3V operation within its specified 3V–18V supply range. At V_DD = 3.3V, output drive drops to ±1.5 mA and propagation delay increases to ~120 ns (typical), but logic thresholds remain valid (V_IL ≤ 1.0 V, V_IH ≥ 2.3 V). This makes CD4041UBM96 suitable for mixed-voltage systems interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers when timing margins allow.

What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating for CD4041UBM96?

CD4041UBM96 carries an MSL rating of Level-1 with unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH, per JEDEC J-STD-020. This reflects its SOIC (D) package construction and NIPDAU lead finish, allowing unpackaged handling and standard reflow without baking - confirmed in TI's Packaging Information document dated 15-Jul-2026, where CD4041UBM96 is explicitly listed with "Level-1-260C-UNLIM".
