Product details
Overview
CD4503BPW from Texas Instruments is a hex noninverting buffer IC with 3-state outputs, high sink- and source-current capability (±24 mA at VDD = 15 V), 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 legacy industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the CD4503BPW datasheet, CD4503BPW pinout, CD4503BPW application, or CD4503BPW equivalent, key selection considerations include its TSSOP-16 package footprint, dual OE architecture for partial bus isolation, and compatibility with 5–15 V CMOS logic families in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The CD4503BPW implements six independent noninverting buffer stages, each with three-state output drivers controlled by two shared enable inputs-OE1 (pins 1 & 2) enables buffers 1–4, OE2 (pin 15) enables buffers 5–6. All outputs are fully buffered CMOS with symmetrical drive strength.
It belongs to the CD4000B series, designed for wide-supply operation (3–18 V), featuring high noise immunity (typ. 50% VDD), low static current (< 1 µA at 25°C), and latch-up immunity per MIL-STD-883. Input thresholds scale with VDD, enabling reliable interfacing across voltage domains.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex noninverting buffer with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4503BM96 | SOIC-16 package (D), same electrical specs, RoHS-compliant, MSL-1 rated, 2500/reel tape-and-reel | Preferred for new designs requiring surface-mount compatibility with standard SOIC footprints and automated assembly | Select CD4503BM96 if board layout uses SOIC-16 land pattern and volume production requires MSL-1 reflow support. |
| CD4503BNSR | SOP-16 package (NS), identical function and ratings, wider body (5.3 mm vs. 4.4 mm), 2000/reel tape-and-reel | Better suited for manual prototyping or legacy SOP tooling where TSSOP handling is impractical | Choose CD4503BNSR when existing pick-and-place equipment lacks TSSOP-16 nozzle support or board-level repair requires hand-soldering accessibility. |
Compared with CD4503BPW, CD4503BM96 offers superior manufacturability in high-volume SMT lines due to its MSL-1 rating and industry-standard SOIC footprint, while CD4503BNSR provides mechanical robustness and easier rework at the cost of larger board area - both retain identical timing, drive, and temperature behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the CD4503BPW?
The CD4503BPW supports a supply voltage range of 3 V to 18 V. Its absolute maximum rating is 20 V, but continuous operation above 18 V is not recommended. At VDD = 15 V, it delivers ±24 mA output drive and maintains guaranteed timing performance across –55°C to +125°C - making CD4503BPW suitable for 12 V and 15 V industrial logic systems.
Does the CD4503BPW have pin-compatible alternatives in modern packages?
Yes - CD4503BM96 (SOIC-16) and CD4503BNSR (SOP-16) share identical logic function, timing, drive strength, and temperature specifications with CD4503BPW. Neither is pin-to-pin compatible due to differing lead pitches and body dimensions, but both map the same signal functions to equivalent pin positions within their respective packages.
What is the purpose of the two separate output-enable inputs on the CD4503BPW?
The CD4503BPW features OE1 (pins 1 & 2) controlling buffers A–D and OE2 (pin 15) controlling buffers E–F. This allows independent gating of two functional groups - for example, isolating data lanes while keeping address lanes active, or enabling staged power-up in multi-module systems. CD4503BPW thus avoids bus contention during partial initialization or fault recovery.
Is the CD4503BPW RoHS compliant?
No - the CD4503BPW is marked "Call TI" for RoHS status in TI's packaging addendum and has no RoHS designation. In contrast, its active alternatives CD4503BM96 and CD4503BNSR are explicitly RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU finish. For new designs requiring RoHS compliance, CD4503BPW should be replaced with one of those variants.
Can the CD4503BPW interface directly with TTL logic levels?
Yes - the CD4503BPW's input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.3 VDD, VIH ≥ 0.7 VDD) and output swing (near rail-to-rail) allow reliable interfacing with TTL when operated at VDD = 5 V. At higher supplies (e.g., 12 V), external pull-down resistors may be needed on TTL inputs to meet VIL limits - a design consideration inherent to CD4503BPW's wide-supply architecture.
