Product details
Overview
CD4503BM96 from Texas Instruments is a hex noninverting buffer IC with 3-state outputs, high sink- and source-current capability (±24 mA typical), dual independent output-enable controls (OE1 for buffers A–D, OE2 for E–F), and operates across -55°C to +125°C. It serves as a level-shifting bus interface in mixed-voltage digital systems requiring bidirectional signal buffering with low propagation delay (120 ns max at 15 V).
For engineers reviewing the CD4503BM96 datasheet, CD4503BM96 pinout, CD4503BM96 application, or CD4503BM96 equivalent, this device is selected for high-drive 3-state logic interfacing where independent control of buffer groups, wide supply range (3–18 V), and SOIC-16 packaging are required.
Technical Context
The CD4503BM96 implements six independent CMOS noninverting buffers, each with three-state output drivers controlled by two shared enable inputs. Its dual-enable architecture allows selective isolation of four buffers (pins 1–2, 4–5, 7–8, 10–11) via OE1 (pin 13) and two buffers (pins 12–13, 15–16) via OE2 (pin 14).
It supports true level translation between 5 V, 10 V, and 15 V logic domains due to its wide VDD range (3–18 V) and rail-to-rail output swing. Input thresholds scale with VDD, ensuring compatibility across supply voltages without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Hex noninverting 3-state buffer with dual enable controls |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 18 V - enables interoperability across legacy and modern logic families |
| Output Drive (IOH/IOL) | ±24 mA typical at VDD = 15 V - sufficient to drive heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs |
| Propagation Delay | 120 ns max (VDD = 15 V, CL = 50 pF) - supports medium-speed bus handshaking up to ~5 MHz |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and military-grade environments |
| Package | SOIC-16 (D package, 3.9 mm width) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1) |
Pinout & Package
CD4503BM96 is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package per JEDEC MS-012, 3.9 mm body width, 1.75 mm height, 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner with notch or beveled edge marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 | Buffer input/output pairs (A–F) | Each pair (e.g., pin 1=input A, pin 2=output A) provides noninverting buffered path; outputs go high-impedance when respective OE is low |
| 13 | Output Enable 1 (OE1) | Active-high control for buffers A–D (pins 1–2, 4–5, 7–8, 10–11); low disables outputs to high-Z |
| 14 | Output Enable 2 (OE2) | Active-high control for buffers E–F (pins 12–13, 15–16); independent of OE1 for partial bus isolation |
| 16 | VDD | Positive supply terminal - must be decoupled locally; sets logic threshold and output voltage swing |
| 8 | VSS | Ground reference - common return for all inputs, outputs, and enables |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 3-state enables | OE1 and OE2 allow segmented bus control - e.g., isolate data lanes while keeping address lines active |
| High current drive (±24 mA) | Eliminates need for external line drivers in 50–100 pF load scenarios; reduces board-level component count |
| Wide VDD range (3–18 V) | Supports direct interface between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 12 V industrial peripherals without level shifters |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Ensures full logic '0' and '1' levels across supply range - critical for noise margin in noisy environments |
| CMOS input compatibility | Input leakage < 100 nA - minimizes loading on upstream logic and preserves battery life in portable designs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex noninverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4050BM96 | No 3-state outputs; single global enable; lower drive (±4.2 mA at 15 V) | Suitable only for unidirectional, always-enabled buffering - lacks bus isolation capability | Select CD4503BM96 when independent group enable or higher drive is required. |
| SN74LVTH162244DGGR | 16-bit, 3.3 V only, LVTH logic family; higher speed (3.5 ns), but no wide-VDD support | Optimized for high-speed 3.3 V backplanes - incompatible with mixed-voltage or >5.5 V systems | Choose CD4503BM96 for multi-supply interoperability and extended temperature operation. |
Compared with CD4050BM96 and SN74LVTH162244DGGR, the CD4503BM96 uniquely combines dual 3-state enables, ±24 mA drive, and 3–18 V operation - making it the only option among the three for robust, mixed-voltage bus interface with segmented control.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CD4503BM96?
The CD4503BM96 supports a maximum supply voltage of 18 V DC, with guaranteed operation across the full 3 V to 18 V range. This wide VDD window enables direct use in systems with 5 V, 10 V, 12 V, or 15 V rails without external regulation - a key advantage over standard 5 V logic families. The CD4503BM96 maintains specified timing and drive performance throughout this range.
Does CD4503BM96 support true bidirectional signal flow?
No - the CD4503BM96 is a noninverting buffer with unidirectional signal path (input → output). However, its 3-state outputs allow it to function in bidirectional bus architectures when paired with complementary devices or used in open-drain/open-collector configurations. Each buffer in the CD4503BM96 operates strictly input-to-output; directionality is determined by system-level design, not internal circuitry.
What is the pin 1 marking method for CD4503BM96 in SOIC packaging?
The CD4503BM96 uses a standard SOIC-16 (D package) with pin 1 identified by a beveled corner or small notch at the top-left edge of the package body. The part marking "CD4503BM" appears adjacent to pin 1, consistent with TI's SOIC orientation conventions. No dot or additional marker is used - orientation is confirmed solely by the physical package feature.
Is CD4503BM96 RoHS compliant and what is its MSL rating?
Yes, CD4503BM96 is RoHS compliant (lead finish: NiPdAu) and rated MSL Level-1 at 260°C peak reflow, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to assembly. This eliminates moisture sensitivity handling requirements during standard SMT processes - a benefit over higher-MSL packages like TSSOP variants.
How does the dual-enable architecture of CD4503BM96 improve system design?
The CD4503BM96's separate OE1 (controls buffers A–D) and OE2 (controls E–F) enables selective bus segmentation - for example, holding data lines in high-Z while keeping address or control lines active. This reduces contention, simplifies timing in multi-master systems, and lowers dynamic power by disabling unused sections. Unlike single-enable alternatives, the CD4503BM96 provides granular control without requiring additional logic gates.
