Texas Instruments CD4081BE Quad AND Gate IC, PDIP-14, 18V

The Texas Instruments CD4081BE is a versatile quad 2-input AND gate integrated circuit (IC) from the reliable CD4000 family of CMOS gates. It provides system designers with a direct, efficient implementation of the logical AND function, making it a fundamental building block for digital logic design in a wide range of applications.

This IC offers robust performance with medium-speed operation, featuring a typical propagation delay (tPHL) of 60ns at a supply voltage (VDD) of 10V. It ensures stable operation with a broad supply voltage range from 3V to 18V, providing flexibility for different circuit requirements. Every unit is 100% tested for quiescent current at 20V, guaranteeing quality and reliability.

Engineered for consistent performance, the CD4081BE features standardised, symmetrical output characteristics and parametric ratings for 5V, 10V, and 15V operation. It exhibits an extremely low maximum input current of just 1µA at 18V across the full operating temperature range, which minimises power consumption and loading on preceding circuits. This makes it an excellent choice for battery-powered or energy-efficient designs.

Housed in a durable 14-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP), the component is easy to handle and ideal for through-hole PCB assembly or prototyping on breadboards. It is designed to operate reliably in demanding environments, with an extensive operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.
