4-bit bus driver for level translation
The NXP HEF4104BT/S400118 is a 4-bit bus driver designed for level-shifting between different voltage domains in digital systems. It translates logic levels from one supply to another, making it suitable for interfacing legacy 5 V logic with lower-voltage 3.3 V or 2.5 V cores, or for bidirectional bus isolation. The part is a standard HEF4104BT variant with a specific ordering code, carrying an active lifecycle status for ongoing production support.
The active status also means standard lead times apply through distribution channels, with no premium for end-of-life inventory.
Bulk packaging for prototyping and low-volume runs
Bulk units are easier to handle for manual assembly and rework, though for high-volume automated lines a tape-and-reel variant of the HEF4104BT family may be more efficient. The Bulk format does not affect electrical performance or pinout.
