STMicroelectronics HCF4073M013TR

Overview

HCF4073M013TR from STMicroelectronics is a triple 3-input AND gate IC in CMOS B-series technology, housed in a 14-pin SOIC package. It delivers t_PD = 60 ns (typ.) at V_DD = 10 V, supports 3–20 V supply operation, features I_I ≤ 100 nA (max) at V_DD = 18 V, and meets JEDEC JESD13B specifications for B-series CMOS devices-used in industrial control logic sequencing and low-power digital interface buffering.

For engineers reviewing the HCF4073M013TR datasheet, HCF4073M013TR pinout, HCF4073M013TR application, or HCF4073M013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay vs. supply voltage, output drive capability at 5/10/15 V, quiescent current across temperature, input leakage at max V_DD, and SOIC-14 thermal and layout compatibility in mixed-voltage logic systems.

Technical Context

The HCF4073M013TR implements three independent 3-input AND gates using standard CMOS transistor pairs with rail-to-rail input and output voltage swing. Each gate exhibits symmetrical propagation delays (t_PLH/t_PHL) and transition times (t_TLH/t_THL) under defined load conditions (C_L = 50 pF, R_L = 200 kΩ).

It operates across -55°C to +125°C with guaranteed DC parameters including V_OH ≥ 4.95 V (V_DD = 5 V), V_OL ≤ 0.05 V, V_IH = 3.5 V (V_DD = 5 V), and noise margins of ≥1 V (V_DD = 5 V), ≥2 V (V_DD = 10 V), and ≥2.5 V (V_DD = 15 V).

FAQ

Is HCF4073M013TR pin-compatible with CD4073BE?

Yes - both share identical pinout (SOIC-14 vs DIP-14) and logic function. The HCF4073M013TR replaces CD4073BE in surface-mount designs without circuit modification, though thermal dissipation and PCB layout differ due to package type.

What is the maximum recommended V_DD for continuous operation?

The absolute maximum V_DD is +22 V, but the recommended operating limit is 20 V per JEDEC JESD13B. Operation above 20 V risks accelerated parametric drift and reduced long-term reliability, even if functional at room temperature.

Does HCF4073M013TR support mixed-voltage inputs (e.g., 3.3 V signals into 12 V V_DD)?

Yes - its input threshold scales with V_DD; V_IH = 7 V and V_IL = 3 V at V_DD = 10 V. A 3.3 V logic high falls below V_IH, so it will not register as valid - use level-shifting or ensure input voltages meet CMOS threshold ratios (≥70% V_DD for HIGH).

Can HCF4073M013TR drive an LED directly?

No - its I_OL = 0.9 mA (max) at V_DD = 10 V is insufficient for typical indicator LEDs (requiring 2–10 mA). Use an external NPN transistor or MOSFET switch; the gate output can serve as a logic-level control signal only.
