About the MC14001

The MC14001 is a Quad NOR from ON Semiconductor with a supply voltage (V_CC) of 3-18V. It is supplied in the DIP-14 package.

At a glance

• Type: Quad NOR
• Supply voltage (V_CC): 3-18V
• Package: DIP-14
• Manufacturer: ON Semiconductor

Typical applications

Supply headroom of 3-18V determines the usable output swing; allow for the device's output saturation limits when planning signal levels.

Choosing a replacement for the MC14001

A drop-in substitute for the MC14001 should match its polarity and offer a compatible supply range (3-18V).

Mechanically, check the replacement against the DIP-14 footprint and confirm the pin order — parts sharing a package outline do not always share a pinout.

Where the application switches inductive loads or runs near the voltage limit, keep extra headroom rather than choosing a part that only just meets the original numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MC14001?

The MC14001 is a Quad NOR IC.

What package does the MC14001 come in?

It is listed in DIP-14. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.

What can I use to replace the MC14001?

This page lists 1 candidate equivalent matched on electrical ratings and package. Any replacement should meet or exceed the original voltage, current and dissipation figures and use a compatible drive level.
