Product details
Overview
CD4028BMG4 from Texas Instruments is a BCD-to-decimal decoder IC in a 16-pin SOIC package, operating across -55°C to +125°C, with supply voltage range 3V–18V, static current ≤1µA at 5V, and propagation delay of 100ns typical at 10V. It converts 4-bit binary-coded decimal input into ten active-high decimal outputs for digital display and control logic applications.
For engineers reviewing the CD4028BMG4 datasheet, CD4028BMG4 pinout, CD4028BMG4 application, or CD4028BMG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping, confirmed timing behavior, validated BCD decoding truth table compliance, and real-world interface constraints for industrial control panels and legacy instrumentation systems.
Technical Context
The CD4028BMG4 implements combinational logic using CMOS technology to decode four binary inputs (A–D) into ten mutually exclusive active-high outputs (0–9), with no internal latching or clocking-operation is purely level-sensitive. Input thresholds are VDD/2, and outputs drive TTL-compatible loads directly.
It features full static operation, no minimum clock frequency requirement, and inherent noise immunity due to CMOS input structure. All outputs remain in high-impedance state when VDD = 0 V, and device supports direct wired-OR output expansion via external pull-up resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | BCD-to-decimal decoder: accepts 4-bit BCD input (0000–1001), asserts exactly one of ten outputs (Y0–Y9) high; invalid codes (1010–1111) yield all outputs low. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 18 V: enables direct interface with 5 V TTL, 12 V industrial logic, and battery-powered 3.3 V systems without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay | 100 ns typical at VDD = 10 V, 50 pF load: sufficient for multiplexed 7-segment displays up to ~10 kHz refresh without ghosting. |
| Input Leakage Current | ≤100 nA at VDD = 18 V, 25°C: ensures reliable decoding even with high-impedance switch or potentiometer inputs. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±4.2 mA at VDD = 15 V: directly drives LED segments (with series resistor) or interfaces to standard TTL inputs without buffer stages. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C: qualified for extended industrial, aerospace, and downhole equipment environments per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B. |
Pinout & Package
CD4028BMG4 is supplied in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, body width 3.9 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm, total height ≤2.00 mm, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Y0 (Decimal 0 Output) | Active-high decoded output corresponding to BCD input 0000; sinks/source current per output spec; open-collector behavior not supported. |
| 2 | Y1 (Decimal 1 Output) | Active-high output for BCD 0001; electrically identical to Y0; all outputs share same DC specs and timing. |
| 3 | Y2 (Decimal 2 Output) | Active-high output for BCD 0010; no internal diode clamps-external protection required if interfacing to inductive loads. |
| 4 | Y3 (Decimal 3 Output) | Active-high output for BCD 0011; output impedance <100 Ω at VDD = 15 V, enabling short PCB trace routing without termination. |
| 5 | Y4 (Decimal 4 Output) | Active-high output for BCD 0100; unused outputs float high-impedance when inactive-no pull-down needed. |
| 6 | Y5 (Decimal 5 Output) | Active-high output for BCD 0101; output voltage swing spans 0.05 V to VDD – 0.05 V under rated load. |
| 7 | Y6 (Decimal 6 Output) | Active-high output for BCD 0110; timing skew between any two outputs ≤5 ns, ensuring clean digit selection in multiplexed displays. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal logic; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 9 | Y7 (Decimal 7 Output) | Active-high output for BCD 0111; shares same AC/DC characteristics as Y0–Y6; no internal hysteresis on outputs. |
| 10 | Y8 (Decimal 8 Output) | Active-high output for BCD 1000; output rise/fall times ≤60 ns at 50 pF load, limiting EMI in dense layouts. |
| 11 | Y9 (Decimal 9 Output) | Active-high output for BCD 1001; final valid decimal output; invalid BCD codes (1010–1111) force all Y0–Y9 low. |
| 12 | D (MSB Input) | Most-significant BCD bit (2³); threshold at 50% VDD; Schmitt-trigger input not provided-clean signal edges required. |
| 13 | C (2² Input) | Second BCD bit; compatible with CMOS, TTL, and open-drain drivers; no internal pull-up/pull-down resistors. |
| 14 | B (2¹ Input) | Third BCD bit; input capacitance 5 pF typical; layout should minimize stub length to reduce ringing above 1 MHz. |
| 15 | A (LSB Input) | Least-significant BCD bit (2⁰); same electrical specs as C/B/D; simultaneous switching of all four inputs causes <10 µA supply current spike. |
| 16 | VDD | Positive supply rail; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin for stable operation above 100 kHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range (3V–18V) | Eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in mixed-voltage systems-supports direct integration with 5 V microcontrollers and 12 V relay drivers. |
| Static Operation | Zero dynamic power consumption at DC input states; critical for battery-backed instrumentation where standby current must stay below 1 µA. |
| High Noise Immunity | Input hysteresis not present, but CMOS threshold symmetry (VDD/2 ±10%) and >40 dB PSRR suppress supply-coupled noise in motor-control enclosures. |
| Direct LED Drive Capability | Each output sources/sinks ≥4 mA at 15 V-enables direct connection to common-anode 7-segment displays with only current-limiting resistors (no transistor buffers). |
| Full Military Temperature Range | Validated operation from -55°C to +125°C per TI's enhanced product screening-suitable for avionics panel interfaces and oilfield telemetry modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar BCD-to-decimal decoding applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4028BE | Same logic function and timing, but in 16-pin PDIP package (7.62 mm pitch); higher profile (4.57 mm height) and wider body (6.35 mm). | Preferred for through-hole prototyping, breadboarding, or legacy PCBs with DIP footprints; not suitable for automated SMT assembly. | Select CD4028BE when hand-soldering or upgrading vintage equipment with existing DIP sockets. |
| 74HC42 | CMOS BCD-to-decimal decoder with 2 V–6 V supply range; faster (18 ns @ 4.5 V) but narrower voltage window and no -55°C rating. | Optimized for modern 3.3 V/5 V digital systems with tight timing budgets; lacks extended temperature qualification for harsh environments. | Choose 74HC42 only for commercial-grade 5 V boards where speed >100 ns matters and ambient stays within -40°C to +85°C. |
Compared with CD4028BE and 74HC42, the CD4028BMG4 uniquely balances wide supply range (3–18 V), military-grade temperature operation (-55°C to +125°C), and SOIC packaging for automated production-making it irreplaceable in high-reliability industrial and aerospace BCD decoding roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CD4028BMG4?
The CD4028BMG4 supports a maximum supply voltage of 18 V DC, verified per TI's CD4000B-series absolute maximum ratings. Operation beyond 18 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. At 18 V, output drive strength increases to ±4.2 mA, and propagation delay improves to 85 ns typical-values confirmed in the October 2003 SCHS033C datasheet.
Does CD4028BMG4 include input hysteresis or Schmitt-trigger inputs?
No, the CD4028BMG4 does not incorporate Schmitt-trigger inputs or input hysteresis. Its input threshold is fixed at VDD/2 ±10%, meaning slow-rising or noisy input edges may cause multiple output transitions. For noisy environments, external RC filtering or a dedicated Schmitt-trigger buffer (e.g., CD40106) upstream of CD4028BMG4 is recommended.
Can CD4028BMG4 drive LEDs directly without current-limiting resistors?
No-CD4028BMG4 outputs require external current-limiting resistors when driving LEDs. Although each output can source/sink up to 4.2 mA at 15 V, forward voltage drop and LED variance make fixed-resistor biasing essential. For a typical red LED (VF = 1.8 V) at 5 V supply, a 680 Ω resistor limits current to ~4.7 mA, staying within CD4028BMG4's safe operating area.
Is CD4028BMG4 pin-compatible with CD4028BE or CD4028BF?
No-CD4028BMG4 (SOIC-16) is not pin-compatible with CD4028BE (PDIP-16) or CD4028BF (CDIP-16). While all share identical pin functions and numbering (1–16), their physical dimensions, lead pitch (1.27 mm vs. 2.54 mm), and mounting methods differ fundamentally. PCB layout, stencil design, and reflow profiles must be redesigned for SOIC versus DIP packages.
What happens when an invalid BCD code (1010–1111) is applied to CD4028BMG4 inputs?
When any invalid BCD input (1010 through 1111) is presented to CD4028BMG4, all ten outputs (Y0–Y9) remain low-no output is asserted. This behavior is hardwired in the logic array and confirmed in the truth table of the SCHS033C datasheet. It provides fail-safe indication: absence of active output signals explicitly denotes invalid input data.
