Product details
Overview
MC14012BDG from onsemi is a dual 4-input NAND gate IC built with complementary MOS (CMOS) technology, designed for low-power logic functions in digital control and interface circuits. It operates across 3.0–18.0 VDC supply, delivers ±10 mA output drive per pin, exhibits 5.0 pF typical input capacitance, and supports operation from −55 °C to +125 °C - ideal for industrial timing, power sequencing, and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MC14012BDG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its wide VDD range, buffered outputs, double-diode input protection, SOIC-14 Pb-free package, and compatibility with legacy CD4000B-series designs.
Technical Context
The MC14012BDG integrates two independent 4-input NAND gates in a single monolithic CMOS structure using P- and N-channel enhancement-mode transistors. Each gate features fully buffered outputs and double-diode ESD protection on all inputs, ensuring robust noise immunity and latch-up resistance.
It requires unused inputs tied to VDD or VSS to prevent floating states, and supports driving two low-power TTL loads or one low-power Schottky TTL load over its full temperature range. Its propagation delay ranges from 50 ns to 300 ns depending on VDD and load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 VDC to 18.0 VDC - enables direct use in battery-powered, industrial, and automotive subsystems without level-shifting. |
| Output Drive Current | ±10 mA per pin - sufficient to directly drive multiple low-power TTL loads without external buffers. |
| Input Capacitance | 5.0 pF typical - minimizes capacitive loading on upstream drivers and preserves high-speed signal integrity. |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +125 °C - certified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive environments. |
| Propagation Delay | 50 ns at VDD = 15 V, CL = 50 pF - defines maximum operating frequency in combinational logic paths. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.0015 A at VDD = 15 V - ensures ultra-low static power consumption in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| DC Noise Margin | 2.5 V at VDD = 15 V - provides strong immunity against voltage transients in electrically noisy systems. |
Pinout & Package
MC14012BDG is housed in a 14-pin SOIC-14 (Case 751A) Pb-free surface-mount package measuring 8.55 mm × 3.80 mm × 1.35 mm, with 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13 | Input A1, A2 | First and second inputs of Gate A - must be tied to VDD if unused to avoid undefined logic state. |
| 2, 9 | Input A3, A4 | Third and fourth inputs of Gate A - share same logic function as Pins 1 and 13. |
| 3, 10 | Input B1, B2 | First and second inputs of Gate B - electrically identical to Gate A inputs but isolated. |
| 4, 11 | Input B3, B4 | Third and fourth inputs of Gate B - no internal connection to Gate A pins. |
| 5, 12 | Outputs OUTA, OUTB | Active-low NAND outputs - buffered, capable of sourcing/sinking ±10 mA. |
| 6, 8 | No Connection | Internally unconnected - must remain unpopulated and unconnected on PCB. |
| 7 | VSS | Ground reference - common return for all logic and power paths; low-impedance connection required. |
| 14 | VDD | Positive supply rail - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) recommended within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 3.0–18.0 VDC operation eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in multi-rail systems. |
| Input Protection | Double-diode clamping on all inputs prevents damage from ESD events up to ±2 kV (HBM). |
| Buffered Outputs | Internal output buffering isolates gate logic from load variations, stabilizing propagation delay and fan-out. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS | Meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is compatible with lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C). |
| CD4000B Drop-in | Pin-for-pin replacement for CD4012B - allows direct upgrade of legacy 4000-series designs without layout change. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-input NAND gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4012BE | Same logic function and pinout, but rated only to +85 °C and not Pb-free; uses older ceramic DIP or PDIP packaging. | Not suitable for automotive or extended-temperature industrial use; requires through-hole assembly. | Select when legacy DIP prototyping or MIL-PRF-38535 compliance is required, not for new surface-mount designs. |
| 74HC20PW | High-speed CMOS variant with 2 V–6 V supply range; faster propagation (15 ns typ), lower drive (±4 mA), and no input protection diodes. | Better for 3.3 V systems and high-frequency logic, but lacks ESD robustness and wide-VDD flexibility. | Choose for speed-critical 5 V or 3.3 V digital systems where noise immunity and temperature range are secondary. |
Compared with CD4012BE and 74HC20PW, MC14012BDG uniquely balances wide supply voltage (3–18 V), extended temperature support (−55 to +125 °C), integrated input protection, and Pb-free SOIC-14 compatibility - making it optimal for ruggedized embedded control where reliability and design longevity matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MC14012BDG?
The MC14012BDG supports a DC supply voltage range of −0.5 V to +18.0 V referenced to VSS. The absolute maximum rating is +18.0 V; exceeding this may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation, VDD should be maintained between 3.0 V and 18.0 V, with derating applied above 65 °C in the SOIC-14 package per datasheet Note 1.
Does MC14012BDG require external pull-up resistors on its inputs?
No, MC14012BDG does not require external pull-up resistors because its CMOS inputs have extremely high impedance and defined logic thresholds (VIH/VIL). However, unused inputs must be actively tied to either VDD or VSS - floating inputs can cause excessive current draw and logic instability. This requirement applies to all four inputs per gate in MC14012BDG.
Is MC14012BDG pin-compatible with CD4012B devices?
Yes, MC14012BDG is explicitly specified as a pin-for-pin replacement for corresponding CD4000 series B-suffix devices, including CD4012B. Pin assignments, logic function, and electrical behavior match identically in the SOIC-14 package. No PCB layout changes are needed when upgrading from CD4012B to MC14012BDG.
What is the output drive capability of MC14012BDG at 12 V supply?
At VDD = 12 V, MC14012BDG delivers a minimum sink current (IOL) of 3.4 mA and source current (IOH) of −1.3 mA while maintaining VOH ≥ 11.0 V and VOL ≤ 1.5 V across −55 °C to +125 °C. These values meet the specification for driving one low-power Schottky TTL load, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet.
Can MC14012BDG be used in automotive applications?
While MC14012BDG itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified, the NLV14012BDR2G variant - sharing identical logic, pinout, and SOIC-14 package - is automotive-grade and PPAP-capable. MC14012BDG may be used in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems where extended temperature operation (−55 °C to +125 °C) and robust ESD protection are beneficial, but formal qualification requires the NLV prefix part.
