The CD4075BE is a triple 3-input OR gate from Texas Instruments' 4000B series, packaged in a 14-pin DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) for through-hole mounting. It operates across a 3V to 18V supply range and is specified for -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for industrial and military-temperature environments where wide voltage tolerance is needed.
Quiescent current is 1 µA max — the gate's own draw is negligible in battery-powered or always-on circuits, so the supply budget is dominated by the load, not the logic. Output drive is 3.4 mA for both high and low states — enough to directly drive a standard TTL input or a low-current LED, but insufficient for heavy loads without a buffer. Propagation delay is 90 ns at 15V with a 50 pF load — this sets the maximum data rate through the gate; for clocked systems above ~5 MHz, a faster family like 74HC is a better fit.
