Product details
Overview
HCF4093BEY from STMicroelectronics is a quad 2-input NAND Schmitt trigger IC in 14-pin DIP package, operating from 3V to 20V supply, featuring 0.9V typical hysteresis at 5V, >50% VDD noise immunity, and symmetrical output drive (±1.36mA at 5V). It enables robust signal conditioning in noisy industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the HCF4093BEY datasheet, HCF4093BEY pinout, HCF4093BEY application, or HCF4093BEY equivalent, key selection criteria include hysteresis voltage vs. supply, input leakage (<100nA at 18V), propagation delay (380ns max at 5V), and DIP-14 package compatibility with legacy through-hole PCBs.
Technical Context
The HCF4093BEY implements four independent Schmitt-trigger NAND gates, each with dual hysteresis thresholds (VP and VN) on both inputs-enabling reliable edge detection of slow-rising or noisy digital signals without external RC components. Its B-series CMOS architecture ensures rail-to-rail input tolerance and low quiescent current (≤30µA at 5V).
Each gate switches at distinct positive (VP) and negative (VN) thresholds-e.g., VP = 2.9V / VN = 1.9V at VDD = 5V (a-input condition)-yielding VH = 1.0V hysteresis. Output stages deliver standardized VOH ≥4.95V and VOL ≤0.05V at 5V, supporting TTL/CMOS interfacing across 3–20V operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3V to 20V - supports wide-battery and industrial rail designs without level-shifting |
| Hysteresis Voltage (VH) | 0.9V typ. at VDD = 5V - rejects noise spikes up to ~18% of rail without false triggering |
| Input Leakage Current | ±100nA max. at VDD = 18V - preserves high-impedance sensor node integrity |
| Propagation Delay | 380ns max. at VDD = 5V, CL = 50pF - suitable for <2.6MHz clock conditioning or debouncing |
| Output Drive | ±1.36mA at VDD = 5V - directly drives LEDs, small relays, or CMOS/TTL fan-out of 10 |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor-control environments |
| Input Capacitance | 7.5pF - minimizes loading on high-frequency or high-Z source signals |
Pinout & Package
Package: Plastic DIP-14 (dual in-line package), 0.3" body width, through-hole mounting compatible with standard 0.1" grid PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13 | Data Inputs (A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H) | Eight Schmitt-trigger inputs grouped as four NAND pairs (1&2, 5&6, 8&9, 12&13) |
| 3, 4, 10, 11 | Data Outputs (J/K/L/M) | Four NAND outputs - active-low logic with hysteresis on both inputs |
| 7 | VSS | Negative supply reference (GND) - must be connected for proper CMOS biasing |
| 14 | VDD | Positive supply rail - sets logic threshold and hysteresis magnitude |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required for Schmitt action | Integrated hysteresis eliminates RC networks, reducing BOM count and board space |
| Unlimited input rise/fall time tolerance | Accepts arbitrarily slow edges (e.g., thermistor or potentiometer wipers) without metastability |
| 100% tested quiescent current | Guarantees ≤30µA ICC at 5V - critical for battery-powered remote sensors |
| JEDEC JESD13B compliant | Meets industry-standard B-series CMOS electrical and reliability requirements |
| Symmetrical output characteristics | Matched VOH/VOL and IOH/IOL enable predictable timing in feedback or oscillation circuits |
Applications
| Industrial Pushbutton Debouncing | AC Mains Zero-Crossing Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Mechanical pushbuttons in PLC I/O modules generate multi-millisecond contact bounce. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad NAND Schmitt trigger configured as RS latch + input filter - each gate pair conditions one button channel. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC filters or firmware debouncing; operates reliably from 5V to 15V rails common in DIN-rail power supplies. | Use Scenario: Isolated AC line sensing via resistive divider feeding into zero-cross comparator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single gate used as hysteresis comparator - input tied to scaled AC waveform, output drives microcontroller interrupt pin. Use Value: 0.9V hysteresis at 5V suppresses noise-induced false triggers during voltage transients near zero crossing. |
| RC Oscillator for Clock Generation | Slow-Signal Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Low-cost non-crystal clock source for microcontroller watchdog or LED blink timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One gate wired as inverting oscillator with external R-C network - Schmitt input ensures clean square wave. Use Value: Propagation delay (380ns @5V) and hysteresis define stable frequency range up to ~200kHz with minimal component count. | Use Scenario: Interfacing 3.3V logic sensors to 12V microcontroller inputs in automotive body control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Gate biased at 12V VDD accepts 0–3.3V input swing - Schmitt thresholds adapt to VDD, enabling rail-flexible level shift. Use Value: Input voltage range (0 to VDD) and 2.3V hysteresis at 10V allow clean 3.3V→12V translation without external bias resistors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schmitt-trigger NAND applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4093BE | Same pinout and function; higher max VDD (18V vs. 20V); wider VP/VN spread at 15V (±0.5V) | Marginally lower noise margin at 15V; not rated for -55°C operation | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer designs where extended temp or 20V operation is unnecessary |
| 74HC14D | Hex inverter (not NAND); 2V–6V supply only; 0.4V hysteresis at 5V; faster (105ns typ.) | Requires external gating for NAND logic; unsuitable for >6V or wide-temp industrial use | Choose only for 5V-only, high-speed digital logic where NAND function is implemented externally |
Compared with CD4093BE and 74HC14D, the HCF4093BEY offers superior supply range (3–20V), guaranteed -55°C operation, and higher hysteresis-making it the only choice for ruggedized industrial signal conditioning where voltage flexibility and temperature resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for HCF4093BEY?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VDD) is +22V, but the recommended operating range is 3V to 20V per JEDEC JESD13B. Operation above 20V risks exceeding safe power dissipation limits and may degrade long-term reliability-even if functional temporarily.
Can HCF4093BEY drive a 10mA LED directly?
No. Its output sink/source capability is ±1.36mA at 5V (±3.0mA at 15V), insufficient for standard 10mA LEDs. A series current-limiting resistor and external transistor buffer are required to avoid exceeding IOL/IOH ratings and ensure stable logic levels.
Is HCF4093BEY pin-compatible with CD4093BE?
Yes-both share identical DIP-14 pinout, truth table, and Schmitt NAND functionality. However, HCF4093BEY specifies full -55°C to +125°C operation and tighter hysteresis control at 15V, while CD4093BE is typically rated only to -40°C.
Does HCF4093BEY require pull-up resistors on inputs?
No. Its CMOS inputs have negligible leakage (≤100nA at 18V), so unused inputs can be tied directly to VDD or VSS. Pull-ups are unnecessary and may interfere with Schmitt threshold behavior when used with slow-rising sources.
