What the 3V–18V supply range means for your BOM
The CD4010BM96 is a hex non-inverting buffer from TI's 4000B series. Its 3V to 18V supply range lets it interface directly with legacy ±15V analog rails, 12V industrial buses, or 5V TTL logic without a level translator. The push-pull output delivers 3mA source and 36mA sink, enough to drive a modest relay coil or LED indicator through a resistor. Six independent buffers per package keeps the BOM count low for simple fan-out or line-receiver tasks in mixed-voltage systems.
The 4000B series is known for wide noise margin at high supply voltages, which helps in electrically noisy industrial environments.
