Product details
Overview
MC14049UBFELG from onsemi is a hex CMOS inverter/buffer IC with P- and N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFETs in a monolithic structure, designed for low-power logic-level translation and high-noise-immunity applications. It operates from 3.0 V to 18 V, supports input voltages exceeding VDD, delivers ±45 mA output current per pin, and drives two TTL/DTL loads at 5 V. It is used in industrial control interfaces requiring voltage-level shifting between CMOS and legacy logic families.
For engineers reviewing the MC14049UBFELG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its wide supply range (3–18 V), VIH > VDD capability, NC pins (13 & 16), SOEIAJ-16 package footprint, and compatibility with mixed-voltage system interfacing.
Technical Context
The MC14049UBFELG implements six independent CMOS inverting buffers using complementary P- and N-channel enhancement-mode transistors. Its architecture enables true logic-level conversion without dual supplies - inputs can swing up to 18 V while VDD is as low as 3 V, making it suitable for bridging disparate logic families.
Each buffer provides rail-to-rail output swing (VOL ≤ 0.05 V at 5 V, VOH ≥ 4.95 V), sink current up to 30 mA (at VDD = 15 V), and source current up to −10 mA (at VDD = 15 V). Unused inputs must be tied to VSS or VDD; pins 13 and 16 are unconnected internally and must remain floating or unused.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 18 V - enables operation across industrial, automotive, and legacy logic systems without level-shifter ICs. |
| Input Voltage Range | −0.5 V to +18.0 V - allows inputs to exceed VDD, supporting high-side signal injection and mixed-supply interface. | Output Drive (Sink) | 30 mA max at VDD = 15 V - sufficient to directly drive two TTL/DTL loads or small LEDs without external buffers. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤ 4.0 µA at VDD = 15 V - ensures ultra-low static power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 30 ns typical at VDD = 10 V, CL = 50 pF - balances speed and noise immunity for medium-speed control logic. |
| ESD Protection | Improved ESD protection on all inputs - enhances robustness in handling and board-level assembly environments. |
| Operating Temp | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive applications. |
Pinout & Package
MC14049UBFELG is housed in a 16-pin SOEIAJ (Small Outline Package, EIAJ standard) - case 966, Pb-free, tape-and-reel packaging (2000 units/reel). This surface-mount package measures 9.90–10.50 mm × 5.10–5.45 mm with 1.27 mm pitch, optimized for automated assembly and space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Positive supply rail - accepts 3.0–18.0 V DC; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise suppression. |
| 2 | INA | Inverter A input - accepts logic signals up to 18 V regardless of VDD value; must be tied to VSS or VDD if unused. |
| 3 | OUTA | Inverter A output - provides inverted, rail-to-rail CMOS output; capable of sourcing/sinking up to ±45 mA. |
| 4 | INB | Inverter B input - electrically identical to INA; shares same VIH/VIL thresholds and noise margin. |
| 5 | OUTB | Inverter B output - fully independent buffer stage; no internal coupling to other channels. |
| 6 | INC | Inverter C input - supports same overvoltage-tolerant input behavior as pins 2 and 4. |
| 7 | OUTC | Inverter C output - delivers logic inversion with propagation delay < 50 ns (max) at 15 V. |
| 8 | VSS | Ground reference - all input/output voltage levels referenced to this pin; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 9 | IND | Inverter D input - compatible with high-noise environments due to CMOS threshold hysteresis. |
| 10 | OUTD | Inverter D output - supports direct TTL/DTL load driving when VDD = 5.0 V (IOL ≥ 3.2 mA). |
| 11 | INE | Inverter E input - VIH minimum = 4.0 V at VDD = 5 V, ensuring reliable recognition of TTL-high signals. |
| 12 | OUTE | Inverter E output - VOL ≤ 0.05 V at VDD = 5 V, enabling clean low-state signaling into downstream CMOS gates. |
| 13 | NC | No internal connection - no electrical function; must be left unconnected or grounded only if mechanical stability requires. |
| 14 | INF | Inverter F input - identical VIH/VIL specs as other inputs; supports same overvoltage tolerance. |
| 15 | OUTF | Inverter F output - completes the hex-buffer set; usable as standalone level translator or buffer stage. |
| 16 | NC | No internal connection - no bonding wire or circuit tie; floating by design and electrically inert. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter/buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4049UBE | Same pinout and function but rated only to 15 V max VDD; lacks VIN > VDD specification and has lower sink current (16 mA @ 15 V). | Suitable for 5–15 V systems without overvoltage input requirements; not recommended for 18 V operation or >12 V input scenarios. | Select CD4049UBE only if supply stays ≤15 V and inputs never exceed VDD - otherwise MC14049UBFELG offers superior margin. |
| SN74HC04DR | CMOS hex inverter with 2–6 V VDD range; VIH/VIL fixed to VDD-dependent thresholds; no VIN > VDD support; 4 mA IOL max at 5 V. | Optimized for 3.3 V/5 V digital logic only; requires level shifters for >6 V interfacing; unsuitable for direct 12 V sensor input. | Choose SN74HC04DR for pure low-voltage logic buffering; use MC14049UBFELG when interfacing higher-voltage subsystems without added components. |
Compared with CD4049UBE and SN74HC04DR, the MC14049UBFELG uniquely supports 18 V operation and input overvoltage tolerance - delivering design flexibility in mixed-voltage industrial and automotive systems where other hex inverters require supplemental protection or translation circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage allowed on MC14049UBFELG inputs?
The MC14049UBFELG permits input voltages from −0.5 V to +18.0 V, regardless of VDD setting. This means inputs can safely exceed VDD - for example, a 12 V signal may be applied while VDD = 5 V. Exceeding +18.0 V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does MC14049UBFELG support true TTL-load driving at 5 V?
Yes - when VDD = 5.0 V, the MC14049UBFELG guarantees VOL ≤ 0.4 V and IOL ≥ 3.2 mA per output, meeting the definition of "two TTL/DTL loads" per the datasheet. This makes MC14049UBFELG suitable for direct interface to legacy TTL circuits without pull-up resistors.
Are pins 13 and 16 on MC14049UBFELG required to be left unconnected?
Yes - pins 13 and 16 are explicitly marked "NC" (No Connection) in the datasheet and have no internal bond wires or circuit connections. They must remain unconnected; grounding or tying them to VDD provides no benefit and may risk mechanical stress or solder bridging.
What is the quiescent supply current of MC14049UBFELG at 15 V?
At VDD = 15 V and TA = 25 °C, the MC14049UBFELG draws ≤ 4.0 µA of quiescent current per package (IDD). This ultra-low static power enables use in always-on monitoring circuits and battery-operated systems where standby current is critical.
Can MC14049UBFELG be used as a non-inverting buffer?
Yes - by cascading two MC14049UBFELG inverters (e.g., INA → OUTA → INB → OUTB), the net result is a non-inverting buffer with predictable delay and drive strength. Each stage retains full VIH/VIL and output drive specs, preserving signal integrity across the pair.
