CD4050 Hex Non-Inverting Buffer IC DIP-16

The CD4050 is a hex non-inverting buffer IC in a DIP-16 package, built with CMOS technology. It converts logic levels using a single supply voltage and can accept input signals higher than VDD, making it essential for interfacing 5V or 3.3V systems with higher-voltage peripherals.

Specifications

• Logic family: CMOS
• Number of buffers: 6 (hex)
• Input voltage range: VSS to VDD + 0.5V (input high can exceed VDD)
• Supply voltage (VDD): 3V to 15V
• Output drive: Standard CMOS
• Package: DIP-16
• Operating temperature: -55°C to +125°C

Compatible with

• Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano
• ESP32 and ESP8266 boards
• Raspberry Pi (3.3V logic)
• STM32 microcontrollers
• Any 3.3V or 5V logic system

What you can build with it

• Level shifting for 5V sensors (e.g., ultrasonic, IR) to 3.3V microcontrollers
• Driving multiple LEDs or relays from a low-current logic output
• Interfacing a 5V LCD display with a 3.3V Raspberry Pi GPIO
