What the 4000B family brings to a BOM line
The CD4011BPWR: It packs four independent gates into a 14-TSSOP package, each with two inputs and a standard push-pull output capable of sourcing or sinking 3.4 mA. What sets this part apart from the 74HC or 74LV crowd is its supply range: 3 V to 18 V. That wide window lets it run directly from unregulated battery stacks, 12 V industrial rails, or legacy 5 V buses without a regulator in between. The trade-off is speed — 90 ns propagation delay at 15 V and 50 pF is an order of magnitude slower than a 74LV00, but the noise immunity and voltage tolerance make it the right call for noisy environments or mixed-voltage backplanes.
That means it can sit in an engine-bay controller, a satellite power-switching block, or a downhole sensor interface without derating concerns. The 1 µA max quiescent current keeps the power budget lean even at high temperature — a combination that's hard to find in faster logic families.
The supplier device package is 14-TSSOP. The shipping options include Tape & Reel and Cut Tape, so it's pick-and-place ready for volume assembly. No exposed pad — standard reflow profile for TSSOP applies.
Lifecycle — still a current-production part
For a 4000B-series part that has been in production for decades, that is a strong signal that TI continues to support the process — likely because the wide-voltage demand in industrial and military sustain the wafer starts. The base product number is CD4011, so any future die revisions or package variants will carry that root.
Sourcing posture
Because this is an active, ROHS3-compliant part from a major manufacturer, it's available through the standard authorized distribution channel.
