The 3V to 18V supply range is the headline feature of this part. It means the CD4077BNSR can run directly from a 3.6V lithium cell, a 5V logic rail, a 12V automotive battery, or an unregulated 15V supply in industrial equipment — no separate regulator needed. This simplifies the power tree and reduces BOM cost in multi-voltage designs. The 1 µA max quiescent current ensures negligible standby drain, critical for battery-powered instruments or always-on monitoring circuits.
Propagation delay and speed considerations
The maximum propagation delay is 100 ns at 15V supply with a 50 pF load. This is typical for 4000B CMOS — the family trades speed for wide voltage range and low power.
The 4000B series has been in production for decades, and TI continues to support it, so long-term supply is stable.
