CD4070 Quad EXCLUSIVE-OR Gate

CD4070 – Quad 2-Input Exclusive-OR Gate IC

The CD4070 is a CMOS logic integrated circuit that contains four independent 2-input Exclusive-OR (XOR) gates. Each gate outputs HIGH only when the inputs differ (i.e., one input HIGH, the other LOW). It is ideal for logic comparison, arithmetic logic, signal inversion, and parity generation.

Thanks to its low power consumption, high noise immunity, and wide supply voltage range, the CD4070 is widely used in digital systems and embedded electronics.

✅ Key Features:

• Contains four 2-input XOR gates

• Wide voltage range: 3V to 15V

• Low power CMOS technology

• TTL compatible inputs and outputs (at VDD = 5V)

• High noise immunity: typically 0.45 × VDD

• Standard 14-pin DIP or SOIC package

• Balanced propagation delay and rise/fall times
