This listing includes 13 pieces of the CD74HC4050E in a PDIP16 package. The CD74HC4050E is a hex noninverting buffer, providing six identical buffer channels per device. It is designed for reliable digital signal buffering and drive capability in a compact throughhole package. Key benefits Improves drive strength and signal integrity by buffering outputs from the source device to multiple loads. Hex noninverting buffer architecture allows clean, unlimited fanout of a single input to six outputs per IC. Simple integration with standard HC logic levels, enabling straightforward interfacing between microcontrollers, sensors, displays, and other digital devices. Throughhole PDIP16 packaging offers convenient prototyping on breadboards and in permanent assemblies. Key attributes Functionality: Hex noninverting buffer with six buffer channels per IC. Compatibility: Part of the 74HC family; suitable for CMOS/TTLstyle digital interfaces within HC logic voltage ranges. Size and packaging: PDIP16 (16pin dual inline package); throughhole for easy handling and insertion. Material and construction: Standard plastic DIP IC encapsulation suitable for general electronics assembly. Performance: Designed for reliable digital signaling with consistent propagation and low input loading characteristics typical of HC logic devices. Two to three use cases Microcontroller signal distribution: Buffer MCU outputs to drive multiple peripherals (LED indicators, display drivers, or sense circuits) while protecting the microcontroller from loadinduced stress. Level shifting in mixedvoltage systems: Use as a buffering stage when interfacing highervoltage logic to lowervoltage components in 3.3V/5V systems, helping to preserve signal integrity. Bus fanout expansion: Distribute a single control or data line to several devices such as memory chips, ADCs, or shift registers, reducing load on the original driver and improving timing reliability. Notes This set contains 13 pieces of CD74HC4050E PDIP16 devices, each providing six buffer channels in a 16pin DIP package. Suitable for hobbyist and professional projects requiring reliable buffering, simple prototyping, and straightforward integration into standard digital designs. For results, follow proper staticsensitive handling procedures during storage and assembly.
