CD4050 CMOS IC

Hex Buffer/Level Shifter: The CD4050 contains six non-inverting buffer gates. Each gate takes an input signal and provides a high-impedance output, which makes it suitable for buffering digital signals.

Voltage Level Translation: One of the primary uses of the CD4050 is for voltage level translation. It can shift logic levels between different voltage domains, allowing for proper communication between devices operating at different voltage levels.

Wide Voltage Range: The CD4050 can typically handle a wide voltage range, often from 3 volts to 15 volts, making it compatible with various logic families, including TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) and CMOS.

High Input Impedance: The input of each buffer gate has a high input impedance, which minimizes the loading effect on the source signal.

Low Power Consumption: CMOS ICs are known for their low power consumption, making the CD4050 suitable for battery-powered applications.

Pin Configuration: The CD4050 is available in different package types, including DIP (Dual Inline Package) and surface-mount packages. Each package variant has a specific pin configuration that you should refer to in the datasheet.

Applications: The CD4050 is used in a variety of applications, including bidirectional voltage level translation, interfacing between devices with different logic voltage levels, signal buffering, and logic signal distribution.
