CD4015 belongs to the 4000 Series CMOS Logic Family of Integrated Circuits (IC’s) constructed with N- and P-channel enhancement mode transistors. CD4015 has Dual 4-stage Static Shift Register
CD4015 has a supply voltage range of 5V to 20V, which is much higher than any contemporary logic family. It has buffered output which improves transfer characteristics by providing very high gain. All inputs are protected against static discharge with diodes to VDD and VSS.

CD4015 Features
- Medium Speed Operation 12MHz (typ.) Clock Rate at VDD -VSS = 10V
- Fully Static Operation
- 8 Master-Slave Flip-Flops Plus Input and Output Buffering
- 100% Tested For Quiescent Current at 20V
- 5V, 10V and 15V Parametric Ratings
- Standardized Symmetrical Output Characteristics
