Description

The CD4078 is a versatile CMOS logic gate that provides both 8-input NOR and 8-input OR functions simultaneously. This device is a standard member of the CMOS 4000 series, designed for low power consumption and high noise immunity. Because it offers both inverted (NOR) and non-inverted (OR) outputs for the same 8-input set, it is highly efficient for complex digital signal consolidation, error detection, or wide-input branching logic.

The CD4078 features buffered inputs and outputs, which improve the noise margin and provide standardized, symmetrical output drive characteristics. It is well-suited for high-voltage logic systems and environments requiring a wide operating temperature range.
