CD4073BEG4

The CD4073BEG4 belongs to the family of logic gates and inverters, and it is a quad, two-input exclusive OR Gate. It is associated with a wide range of applications due to its small size, low power consumption and high reliability. The device is highly suitable for a number of computational and digital applications, including logic circuits or any circuit that utilizes digital functions.

The gate is composed of four independently functioning 2-input EXOR gates, each having two inputs denoted as A and B, and an output denoted as Y.

The types of inputs accepted by this device are digital; 0 and 1. The circuit inside the chip consists of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and several other components. The inputs can be of either TTL or CMOS logic type. The power supply voltage required is only 4.5 to 5.5 VDC.

The truth table of this component is as follows:
Inputs A & B Output Y
00 0
01 1
10 1
11 0

The working principle of an exclusive OR gate is based on two binary inputs A and B, where if either of the two inputs is high or on, then the output Y is also high. If both of the inputs are low or off, then the output retains the same low or off output. This feature makes the gate ideal for computing or logic operations in digital circuits.

Generally, the CD4073BEG4 is widely used in applications like generating control signals for digital circuits, checking binary data in serial or parallel communication ports, pulse shaping, oscillator circuits, multiplexer circuits and many more.

The device has a wide range of features, such as high speed operation at 10 MHz, high fan out of 10-15B, low power consumption with a maximum of 25 mW, fast switching time of 5 ns, and high logical levels at 0.8 V and 0.5 V. The load and source currents at the output are rated at 8 mA and 8 mA respectively.

The device is mainly used in digital applications due to its small footprints and excellent features. Additionally, the component is highly reliable and its cooling requirements are minimal. This makes it a favorite device among digital circuit designers.

Overall, the CD4073BEG4 is a handy device for a variety of applications. Its wide range of features and its ability to offer excellent performance make it a top choice for any digital circuit designer.
