Product details
Overview
CD74HC4049NSRG4 from Texas Instruments is a hex inverting buffer IC designed for high-to-low voltage level translation, supporting up to 15 V input while operating from a 2–6 V supply. It delivers 6 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V/15 pF, operates across –55°C to 125°C, and provides 10 LSTTL fanout with CMOS-compatible inputs and outputs.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HC4049NSRG4 datasheet, CD74HC4049NSRG4 pinout, CD74HC4049NSRG4 application, or CD74HC4049NSRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15 V tolerant inputs, rail-to-rail output swing, wide temperature range, and compatibility with legacy TTL logic interfaces in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The CD74HC4049NSRG4 implements six independent inverting buffers with modified input protection enabling robust high-voltage (up to 15 V) signal down-conversion to low-voltage logic domains. Its silicon-gate CMOS process ensures low static power consumption and high noise immunity (30% of VCC at 5 V).
It supports dual-domain operation: inputs accept voltages up to 15 V regardless of VCC (2–6 V), while outputs swing rail-to-rail between GND and VCC. Propagation delays are balanced (tPLH ≈ tPHL), and transition times remain consistent across temperature and supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC04DR | Standard 2–6 V hex inverter with 5.5 V max input rating - lacks 15 V input tolerance and level translation capability. | Only suitable for same-supply domain logic buffering; cannot replace CD74HC4049NSRG4 in mixed-voltage signal paths. | Select when interfacing within a single 3.3 V or 5 V domain and lowest cost is prioritized over high-voltage input support. |
| CD74HC4050NSR | Non-inverting hex buffer with identical 15 V input tolerance, package, and temperature rating - differs only in logic polarity. | Used where signal polarity preservation is required (e.g., clock distribution, enable lines), not inversion. | Choose when the system requires non-inverted level translation - shares footprint, thermal profile, and qualification data with CD74HC4049NSRG4. |
Compared with SN74HC04DR and CD74HC4050NSR, the CD74HC4049NSRG4 uniquely combines 15 V input tolerance with inverting logic, making it irreplaceable in applications requiring both voltage down-conversion and signal inversion without added components.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the CD74HC4049NSRG4 can safely accept?
The CD74HC4049NSRG4 supports DC input voltages from –0.5 V to 15 V, independent of VCC. This allows direct connection to 12 V or 15 V sources without external attenuation. Exceeding 15 V risks permanent damage, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. The CD74HC4049NSRG4 input protection structure is optimized for this range and validated per JEDEC JESD78.
Can the CD74HC4049NSRG4 operate with a 3.3 V supply while accepting 12 V inputs?
Yes - the CD74HC4049NSRG4 is explicitly designed for this use case. With VCC = 3.3 V, it accepts 12 V inputs and produces 0–3.3 V inverted outputs. Its modified input protection enables safe operation across the full 2–6 V supply range while maintaining 15 V input tolerance. This behavior is confirmed in the Functional Description and DC Electrical Specifications sections of the datasheet.
Is the CD74HC4049NSRG4 pin-compatible with the CD74HC4050NSR?
Yes - the CD74HC4049NSRG4 and CD74HC4050NSR share identical SOP-16 pinouts, thermal profiles, and package markings. They differ only in logic function: CD74HC4049NSRG4 is inverting, while CD74HC4050NSR is non-inverting. This allows drop-in replacement in layouts where signal polarity can be accommodated via firmware or board-level inversion.
Does the CD74HC4049NSRG4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No - all six inputs of the CD74HC4049NSRG4 have defined logic thresholds and internal protection. Unused inputs should be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states and reduce dynamic power consumption. Leaving them unconnected may cause oscillation or increased ICC due to noise coupling, but no external resistors are needed for basic biasing.
What is the thermal performance of the CD74HC4049NSRG4 in SOP-16 package?
The CD74HC4049NSRG4 in SOP-16 (NS package) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 64°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Information table. At 25°C ambient and 5 V operation with moderate loading, junction temperature remains well below the 150°C plastic-package limit. Derating is recommended above 85°C ambient per TI's thermal guidelines.
