Product details
Overview
MC14025BDG from onsemi is a triple 3-input NOR gate CMOS logic IC in SOIC-14 package, operating from 3.0 V to 18.0 V supply, delivering ±10 mA output drive per pin, with guaranteed DC noise margins of 1.0 V (at 5 V), 2.0 V (at 10 V), and 2.5 V (at 15 V), used in low-power industrial control and noise-immune digital interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MC14025BDG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional identity, validated pin assignments, confirmed voltage and timing specifications, real-world application contexts, and two technically documented alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The MC14025BDG implements three independent 3-input NOR gates using complementary MOS (CMOS) P- and N-channel enhancement-mode transistors in a monolithic structure, enabling rail-to-rail output swing and high input impedance. Each gate features buffered outputs and double diode input protection (except triple diode on select variants).
It operates across −55 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature, supports dynamic loading up to 50 pF per gate, and exhibits propagation delays ranging from 40 ns (typical at VDD = 15 V, CL = 50 pF) to 200 ns (max at VDD = 5 V), with rise/fall times tightly bounded by load capacitance and supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Triple 3-input NOR gate - three independent gates, each requiring all three inputs HIGH to assert LOW output. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 Vdc to 18.0 Vdc - enables direct compatibility with legacy 5 V, 10 V, and 15 V logic systems without level shifting. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±10 mA per pin - sufficient to drive two low-power TTL loads or one low-power Schottky TTL load over full temperature range. |
| DC Noise Margin | 1.0 V (5 V supply), 2.0 V (10 V), 2.5 V (15 V) - ensures robust operation in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Input Capacitance | 7.5 pF - low capacitive loading minimizes signal distortion and timing skew in high-speed routing. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.25 µA (typ @ 5 V), 1.0 µA (max @ 15 V) - ultra-low static power ideal for battery-backed or energy-constrained systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 40–200 ns (VDD = 5–15 V, CL = 50 pF) - predictable timing behavior across wide voltage and temperature ranges. |
Pinout & Package
MC14025BDG is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, case 751A, Pb-free, with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.55–8.75 mm body length, and 3.80–4.00 mm width - compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 | Input/Output terminals for three NOR gates | Pins 1/2/8 = Gate A inputs; Pin 3 = Gate A output; Pins 5/6/11 = Gate B inputs; Pin 4 = Gate B output; Pins 9/10/12 = Gate C inputs; Pin 13 = Gate C output. |
| 7 | VSS (Ground) | Common reference node for all logic and power domains; must be connected to system ground plane. |
| 14 | VDD (Supply) | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range (3–18 V) | Eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in mixed-supply systems; supports direct integration with analog rails. |
| Pin-for-pin replacement for CD4025B | Enables drop-in upgrade path from legacy CD4000-series designs without PCB revision. |
| Double diode input protection | Provides ESD resilience >3 kV (HBM); protects against transient coupling in unshielded industrial wiring. |
| Buffered outputs | Reduces output impedance variation across logic states, improving fan-out consistency and waveform integrity. |
| −55 °C to +125 °C operation | Validated for under-hood automotive, motor drive control, and outdoor industrial equipment deployments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Input Conditioning | Legacy System Logic Translation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-input NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4025BM96 | Same logic function and pinout; wider max supply (20 V), higher max IO (±20 mA), but only rated to +85 °C ambient. | Preferred for high-current 12 V systems with moderate temperature requirements; not suitable for extended-temperature industrial use. | Select when higher drive strength is needed and thermal environment stays below 85 °C. |
| 74HC25D,653 | CMOS variant with 2–6 V supply range, faster propagation (15 ns typ), but lower noise margin (0.9 V @ 4.5 V) and no 15 V operation. | Optimized for modern 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller interfaces; incompatible with legacy 10–15 V logic buses. | Select for speed-critical 5 V digital subsystems where supply voltage is strictly regulated and noise immunity is secondary. |
Compared with CD4025BM96 and 74HC25D,653, the MC14025BDG uniquely balances extended temperature support (−55 °C to +125 °C), wide-voltage operation (3–18 V), and industrial-grade noise immunity - making it the only choice for legacy-compatible, high-reliability embedded control where environmental stress and supply variability are design constraints.

FAQ
What is the logic configuration of the MC14025BDG?
The MC14025BDG contains three independent 3-input NOR gates. Each gate outputs LOW only when all three inputs are HIGH; otherwise, the output is HIGH. This configuration is confirmed in the device description section of the official datasheet and matches the logic diagram on page 2. The MC14025BDG does not include internal inverters or additional logic elements beyond the three NOR functions.
Does the MC14025BDG support 15 V operation?
Yes, the MC14025BDG is fully specified for 15 V DC operation: maximum supply voltage is +18.0 V, and electrical characteristics including VOH (≥14.95 V), VOL (≤0.05 V), and DC noise margin (2.5 V) are guaranteed at VDD = 15 V. This makes the MC14025BDG suitable for direct use in legacy 15 V logic systems without level translation.
What is the recommended handling for unused inputs on the MC14025BDG?
All unused inputs on the MC14025BDG must be tied to VSS (ground), as explicitly stated in the datasheet: "All unused inputs of OR, NOR gates must be connected to VSS." Leaving inputs floating risks metastability, increased power consumption, and potential latch-up due to CMOS high-impedance inputs. Tying to VSS ensures deterministic logic state and stable operation.
Is the MC14025BDG pin-compatible with the CD4025B series?
Yes, the MC14025BDG is explicitly documented as a pin-for-pin replacement for corresponding CD4000-series B-suffix devices, including CD4025B. The pin assignments, logic function, and electrical behavior match identically - enabling direct substitution in existing designs without layout changes, provided thermal and packaging constraints (SOIC vs. PDIP) are accounted for.
What is the maximum output current per pin for the MC14025BDG?
The absolute maximum output current per pin for the MC14025BDG is ±10 mA, as defined in the Maximum Ratings table. This value applies to both sourcing (IOH) and sinking (IOL) under DC or transient conditions. Exceeding this limit risks permanent damage. Actual usable drive depends on VDD and temperature - e.g., at VDD = 5 V and TA = 25 °C, typical IOL is 0.64 mA, rising to 4.2 mA at VDD = 15 V.
