Product details
Overview
MC14081BDT from onsemi is a quad 2-input AND gate CMOS logic IC in TSSOP-14 package, operating from 3.0 V to 18.0 V supply, with ±10 mA output drive capability, triple diode input protection, and guaranteed operation from −55 °C to +125 °C - used in industrial control signal conditioning and low-power digital interface buffering.
For engineers reviewing the MC14081BDT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, real-world timing behavior at 5/10/15 V, input/output voltage thresholds, noise margin data, and validated alternative parts for legacy CMOS logic migration.
Technical Context
The MC14081BDT implements four independent 2-input AND gates using complementary MOS (CMOS) P- and N-channel enhancement-mode transistors on a single monolithic die. Each gate features buffered outputs and triple diode protection on all inputs - distinguishing it from standard CD4000-series devices.
It supports wide-supply operation (3–18 V), delivers up to 4.2 mA sink current at VDD = 15 V, and exhibits propagation delays of 40 ns (typ) to 80 ns (max) per gate at CL = 50 pF and VDD = 15 V - enabling reliable use in mixed-voltage digital systems and noise-prone environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2-input AND gate - provides four independent Boolean AND operations per package. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 18.0 V DC - enables direct interfacing with 5 V, 10 V, and 15 V logic rails without level shifters. |
| Input Protection | Triple diode protection on all inputs - improves ESD robustness and transient immunity beyond standard CMOS. |
| Output Drive | ±10 mA max per pin - sufficient to drive two low-power TTL loads or one low-power Schottky TTL load across full temperature range. |
| Propagation Delay | 40 ns (typ) at VDD = 15 V, CL = 50 pF - defines maximum operating frequency (~12 MHz) for clean edge-sensitive applications. |
| DC Noise Margin | 2.5 V at VDD = 15 V - ensures stable logic state retention under high-noise industrial conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 µA max per package at VDD = 15 V - enables ultra-low standby power in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 (DT suffix, Case 948G), 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13 | Input A/B of Gates A–D | Dedicated AND gate inputs; unused inputs must be tied to VDD to prevent floating-induced leakage or oscillation. |
| 3, 4, 10, 11 | Output Y of Gates A–D | Buffered CMOS outputs; capable of sourcing/sinking ≥0.36 mA at VOL = 0.4 V (VDD = 5 V). |
| 7 | VSS | Ground reference pin - must be connected to system common ground with low-impedance path. |
| 14 | VDD | Positive supply rail - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm for stable switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 3.0–18.0 V operation eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in multi-rail systems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4081BM96 | Same logic function and pinout; lower max VDD (15 V vs. 18 V); no triple diode protection; higher quiescent current (5 µA vs. 1 µA). | Not rated for 18 V operation or extended −55 °C start-up; less suitable for high-noise industrial environments. | Select MC14081BDT when 18 V tolerance, enhanced ESD protection, or extended temperature range is required. |
| 74HC08PW,118 | Higher speed (8 ns typ propagation delay), but narrower supply range (2–6 V); incompatible with 12/15 V systems; no triple diode protection. | Only suitable for 5 V-only digital systems; cannot replace MC14081BDT in mixed-voltage or high-voltage industrial designs. | Choose MC14081BDT for legacy-compatible, wide-supply, high-immunity AND logic; choose 74HC08 for high-speed 5 V consumer applications. |
Compared with CD4081BM96 and 74HC08PW,118, the MC14081BDT uniquely combines 18 V operation, triple-diode input protection, and −55 °C to +125 °C qualification - making it the sole option for ruggedized, multi-rail, and long-lifecycle industrial deployments requiring direct CD4000-series compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MC14081BDT?
The MC14081BDT has an absolute maximum DC supply voltage (VDD) rating of +18.0 V, with recommended operating range from 3.0 V to 18.0 V. Exceeding 18.0 V risks permanent damage. At 15 V operation, it delivers 4.2 mA sink current per output while maintaining 2.5 V DC noise margin - critical for industrial 12–15 V logic domains.
Does MC14081BDT require external pull-up resistors on unused inputs?
No - unused inputs of MC14081BDT must be tied directly to VDD (not left floating or pulled via resistors), as specified in the datasheet to prevent increased supply current and potential oscillation. The device's triple diode protection and CMOS input structure eliminate need for external pull-ups; connecting to VDD ensures defined logic-high state and minimizes static power consumption.
Is MC14081BDT pin-compatible with CD4081B in TSSOP-14 package?
Yes - MC14081BDT is explicitly designated as a pin-for-pin replacement for CD4081B in TSSOP-14 (DT suffix) packaging. Pin assignments, electrical characteristics, and logic function match identically, enabling direct substitution in existing layouts. However, MC14081BDT adds triple diode input protection and extends max VDD from 15 V to 18 V - providing design margin not present in CD4081B.
What is the typical propagation delay of MC14081BDT at 10 V supply?
At VDD = 10 V and CL = 50 pF, the typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) for MC14081BDT is 50 ns, with a maximum of 130 ns across temperature. This delay is derived from the datasheet formula tPLH/tPHL = (0.36 ns/pF) × CL + 47 ns, confirming suitability for <10 MHz synchronous logic and asynchronous control signaling in industrial interfaces.
Can MC14081BDT drive a standard 74LS00 input directly?
Yes - MC14081BDT can drive two low-power TTL loads (e.g., 74LS00) over its full −55 °C to +125 °C range, as confirmed in the "Capable of Driving…" specification. Its output sink current reaches 1.3 mA at VDD = 10 V (VOL = 0.5 V), exceeding the 0.4 mA required by 74LS inputs, and its VOH exceeds 9.95 V - ensuring valid TTL HIGH recognition without level-shifting circuitry.
