IC 4016 Datasheet, Pinout Function

IC 4016 is a CMOS-based quad bilateral switch integrated circuit (IC). It may be used for a variety of purposes, including waveform generation, voltage-controlled oscillator, switching of audio and video signals, and controlling analogue and digital signals (VCO).

A thorough datasheet for the IC 4016 is I have explained below:

Electrical Characteristics:

• Supply Voltage Range: 3V to 18V
• Quiescent Current: 10µA
• Maximum Operating Frequency: 50 MHz
• Maximum Output Current: 25mA
• Maximum Power Dissipation: 500mW
• Maximum Operating Temperature: -55°C to +125°C

Pin Configuration:

The IC 4016 has a total of 14 pins, which are numbered as follows:

Pin#14 is positive supply of the IC, and pin#7 is the ground supply of the IC, both of these pins are not shown in the diagram below.

As shown in the above figure, the pinout functioning of the IC 4016 can be understood with the following points:

There are 4 digital gates inside the IC 4016 which work like electronic switches.

Each of these gates has a bilateral input/output pinouts (X, Y) and a control pinout (A).

The signal which needs to be switched ON or OFF is sent across these input/output pinouts, for example X1, and Y1.

This signal remains switched OFF and cannot pass across the input/output terminals, until a switching positive input voltage is supplied at the control pin of the switch.

For example, lets looks at the first switch module having input/ouputs pinout numbers 1 and 2. For this switch pin number 13 is the control input.

Therefore, as long as a positive voltage is not applied to pin#13, the signal applied across pin#1 and pin#2 will never conduct. As soon as a positive supply is fed to pin#13, the signal across pin#1 and pin#2 will start flowing.

The same working principle is true for the remaining 3 switches of the IC 4016.
