The MC74HC4049DR2 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74HC family of logic gates. It is a hex inverting high-to-low level shifter/buffer, meaning it can convert high-level signals into low-level signals. This IC is widely used in various digital applications for voltage level shifting and signal buffering purposes.
Key Features:
1. Hex Inverting Buffer: The MC74HC4049DR2 consists of six independent inverting buffer gates. Each gate can accept one high-level input signal and provides a low-level inverted output signal.
2. Voltage Level Shifting: This IC functions as a voltage level shifter, allowing signals with different voltage levels to be translated from one logic family to another. It can handle input voltages ranging from 2 to 6 volts.
3. CMOS Technology: The IC is manufactured using complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. This technology ensures low power consumption, high noise immunity, and wide operating temperature range
