Quad 2-input XNOR from the 4000B family
The CD4077BM96 is a Texas Instruments 4000B-series CMOS logic gate — four independent 2-input XNOR (Exclusive NOR) circuits in a 14-SOIC package. It operates across a 3V to 18V supply range and the full military temperature span of -55°C to 125°C, making it a fit for industrial control, avionics, and downhole instrumentation where wide voltage tolerance and temperature margin are required. Quiescent current maxes at 1 µA, so it suits battery-powered or always-on monitoring logic where every microamp counts. Propagation delay is 100 ns at 15V into a 50 pF load — fast enough for slow-speed control handshakes, not for high-frequency clock trees.
Supply range and temperature — what they mean for the BOM
The 3V to 18V supply range means this gate can run directly off an unregulated battery or a 12V rail without a local regulator. That simplifies the power tree in automotive body controllers or industrial sensor interfaces. The -55°C to 125°C operating range covers engine-bay, cold-start, and high-altitude environments — no need to derate for a commercial-grade part. Input logic levels track the supply: low at 1.5V to 4V, high at 3.5V to 11V, so it interfaces cleanly with 5V and 12V logic families without level shifters.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The CD4077BM96 carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. For a BOM freeze, this part does not carry an obsolescence watch today.
