Product details
Overview
HEF4081BT/AUJ from Nexperia is a quad 2-input CMOS AND gate IC operating from 3.0 V to 15.0 V supply, featuring symmetrical output drive, input clamp diodes for overvoltage interface protection, and guaranteed operation from -40 °C to +125 °C. It delivers propagation delays as low as 15 ns at 15 V (with 50 pF load) and supports industrial control logic, power sequencing, and digital signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HEF4081BT/AUJ datasheet, HEF4081BT/AUJ pinout, HEF4081BT/AUJ application, or HEF4081BT/AUJ equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated SO14 pin mapping, temperature-rated static/dynamic specifications, ESD robustness data (HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V), and real-world logic-level interfacing guidance.
Technical Context
The HEF4081BT/AUJ implements four independent AND gates in a single CMOS silicon die with fully static operation and standardized output characteristics. Each gate accepts two inputs (nA/nB) and drives one complementary-swing output (nY), with all inputs protected by clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VDD when used with current-limiting resistors.
It complies with JEDEC JESD13-B and supports three parametric voltage grades (5 V, 10 V, 15 V). Static parameters include VIH = 11.0 V and VIL = 4.0 V at VDD = 15 V, while dynamic behavior follows extrapolation formulas for tPHL/tPLH based on load capacitance (CL), ensuring predictable timing across supply and temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 15.0 V - Enables direct use in mixed-voltage systems including legacy 5 V, industrial 10 V, and high-headroom 15 V rails. |
| Propagation Delay (tPHL/tPLH) | 15 ns to 40 ns at VDD = 15 V, CL = 50 pF - Supports reliable 20+ MHz clocked logic in non-critical timing paths. |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - Allows safe connection of inputs to signals up to VDD + 0.5 V or down to -0.5 V using external current-limiting resistors. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Reduces need for external ESD protection in board-level designs handling manual handling or connector mating. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive ancillaries, industrial motor controllers, and outdoor power electronics. |
| Output Drive Strength | IOL = 4.2 mA / IOH = -4.2 mA at VDD = 15 V - Sufficient to directly drive multiple 4000-series inputs or small LED indicators without buffering. |
| Input Leakage Current | ±1.0 μA max at +125 °C - Ensures stable logic levels in high-impedance sensing or battery-backed circuits over full temperature range. |
Pinout & Package
HEF4081BT/AUJ is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO14) per SOT108-1 standard: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, with gull-wing leads and pin 1 index marker.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2, 6, 9, 13 | 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B | Independent gate input B terminals - Paired with corresponding A inputs to form four AND functions. |
| 3, 4, 10, 11 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Independent gate output terminals - Provide rail-to-rail CMOS swing with symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability. |
| 7 | VSS | Ground reference (0 V) - Must be connected to system common ground; serves as return path for all internal currents. |

| Digital Signal Conditioning | Legacy System Interface |
Use Scenario: Filtering spurious noise pulses on sensor interrupt lines before feeding microcontroller GPIOs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Glitch suppression via AND-based pulse width discrimination (e.g., requiring ≥100 ns valid high). Use Value: Uses input clamp diodes and wide VDD range to interface 3.3 V sensors to 5 V MCU domains without level shifters. |
Use Scenario: Adapting 12 V industrial fieldbus signals to 5 V logic inputs in programmable logic controllers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input AND gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4081BE | Same logic function but TI-manufactured; wider -55 °C to +125 °C temp range; higher max supply (18 V); slightly slower tPLH (60 ns typ @ 5 V). | Preferred for extended temperature military/aerospace use; less suitable for high-speed 15 V systems due to timing degradation. | Select CD4081BE only if extended low-temp operation or 18 V absolute max rating is required; verify timing margins at target VDD/CL. |
| 74HC08D | Higher speed (tPD = 7 ns @ 5 V), lower VDD range (2–6 V), no input clamp diodes, HBM ESD = 2000 V (same class but unverified CDM). | Better for 5 V high-frequency digital systems; unsuitable for >6 V rails or overvoltage-tolerant interfaces. | Choose 74HC08D for speed-critical 5 V designs; avoid where input overvoltage protection or 10/15 V operation is needed. |
Compared with CD4081BE and 74HC08D, the HEF4081BT/AUJ uniquely balances wide supply range (3–15 V), integrated input clamping, and industrial temperature qualification (-40 °C to +125 °C), making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial control and power management where robustness and flexibility outweigh raw speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for HEF4081BT/AUJ?
The HEF4081BT/AUJ has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VDD) of +18 V, though its recommended operating range is 3.0 V to 15.0 V per the datasheet. Operation above 15.0 V is not characterized for timing or drive strength and may compromise long-term reliability. Always observe the derating curve for total power dissipation above 100 °C ambient.
Does HEF4081BT/AUJ support direct interfacing to 12 V signals when powered from 5 V?
Yes - the HEF4081BT/AUJ includes integrated input clamp diodes that allow safe interfacing to voltages up to VDD + 0.5 V (i.e., 5.5 V) or down to -0.5 V. To connect a 12 V signal, use a series current-limiting resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ) to restrict IIK to ≤ ±10 mA, enabling robust level translation without external protection components.
What is the typical propagation delay of HEF4081BT/AUJ at 10 V supply and 50 pF load?
At VDD = 10 V and CL = 50 pF, the HEF4081BT/AUJ exhibits typical propagation delays of tPHL = 25 ns and tPLH = 20 ns, derived from the extrapolation formulas in Table 7: tPHL = 14 ns + (0.23 ns/pF) × CL and tPLH = 9 ns + (0.23 ns/pF) × CL. These values are measured at Tamb = 25 °C and assume proper decoupling and layout.
Is HEF4081BT/AUJ qualified for automotive applications?
No - the HEF4081BT/AUJ is specified for industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +125 °C) but is not AEC-Q100 qualified or automotive-grade screened. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products like HEF4081BT/AUJ are not suitable for safety-critical automotive use unless separately validated by the customer.
How does the input leakage current of HEF4081BT/AUJ vary with temperature?
The HEF4081BT/AUJ input leakage current (II) remains ≤ ±0.1 μA at 25 °C and ≤ ±1.0 μA at +125 °C (VDD = 15 V), as specified in Table 6. This controlled drift ensures stable logic thresholds in high-impedance circuits such as RC timing networks or battery-monitoring comparators across the full operating range.
