List of 4000 Series IC

The 4000-series Integrated Circuits (IC) is a classic series of CMOS chips. It has a bunch of useful basic features such as logic gates, 7-segment decoders, counters, and more.

Below you’ll find a non-exhaustive list of the most common 4000-series chips. Click on the IC number of a chip to learn more about its pins, functions and example circuits.

More ICs will be added. If you have a request, let me know in the comments!

IC #PinoutDescription
4001Pinout for the 4001 ICQuad 2-input NOR gate: An IC with four standard NOR gates.
4008Pinout for the 4008 IC4-bit Binary Full Adder: An IC for adding two 4-bit binary numbers.
4011Pinout for the 4011 ICQuad 2-input NAND gate: An IC with four standard NAND gates.
4013Pinout for the 4013 ICDual D-type flip-flop: An IC with two D Flip-Flops.
4014Pinout for the 4014 IC8-stage parallel-in shift register: An 8-bit shift-register with parallel inputs. Great for creating a parallel-to-serial converter.
4015Pinout for the 4015 ICDual 4-bit static shift register: This chip contains two 4-bit shift registers with serial input and parallel output pins. Great for adding more output pins to a microcontroller or Arduino.
4016Pinout for the 4016 ICQuad bilateral switch: An IC with four bidirectional, analog switches.
4017Pinout for the 4017 IC5-stage Johnson Decade Counter: A decade counter with ten outputs. Each output represents a number, 0 to 9, and goes HIGH when the counter reaches it.
4060Pinout for the 4060 IC14-stage ripple-carry binary counter/divider and oscillator: A binary counter with oscillator integrated. Add two resistors and a capacitor to create various time delays or frequencies.
4071Pinout for the 4071 ICQuad 2-input OR gate: An IC with four standard OR gates.
4081Pinout for the 4081 ICQuad 2-input AND gate: An IC with four standard AND gates.
4510Pinout for the 4510 ICUp/Down BCD Counter With Preset Function: This is a BCD counter that can count up or down between 0 and 9.
4511Pinout for the 4511 ICBCD to 7-segment latch/decoder/driver: A BCD to 7-segment decoder. This IC converts binary-coded decimals to a seven-segment display.

Thanks to Inductiveload who made the pinout drawings that I used as the starting point for the pinouts on this page. Check out the 4000 Series Overview on Wikimedia for their original work.

Good to know about the 4000 series:

  • The output pins usually only support a few milliamps of sink or source current.
  • Lots of manufacturers have made these throughout time, so you’ll usually find the chip number with a prefix such as CD4xxx, HEF4xxx, or NTE4xxx.
  • All unused inputs (even from unused gates) should always be connected to either GND or VCC to avoid unnecessary current consumption.
  • Most chips support a voltage supply of between 3V and 15V. Some versions support up to 20V.

    The cd4049ube has made a big impression in the guitar arena. Google Craig Anderton tube sound fuzz pedal for more info. I have built one before and often wondered “what if I added another inverter stage?” Haven’t tried that yet

    Hi Oyvind, good stuff, thanks. Yes, may I suggest to add the 4056 (charger) and 4558 (op-amp) ?

      Hi Mario, thanks! Those two suggestions are actually not part of the 4000-series, although their names suggest they are. In the 4000-series, the 4056 and 4558 chips are both BCD to 7-segment decoders. A full list of the ICs that are in this series can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_4000-series_integrated_circuits

      Anyway, I’m happy to discuss those chips you suggested anytime in the Ohmify forum!
