Product details
Overview
CD4503BPWR from Texas Instruments is a hex noninverting buffer IC with 3-state outputs, high sink- and source-current capability (±24 mA), dual independent output-enable controls (OE1 for buffers 1–4, OE2 for buffers 5–6), and operates across -55°C to +125°C. It serves as a level-shifting bus interface in mixed-voltage industrial control systems requiring isolated enable domains.
For engineers reviewing the CD4503BPWR datasheet, CD4503BPWR pinout, CD4503BPWR application, or CD4503BPWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its TSSOP-16 package footprint, dual OE logic architecture, ±24 mA drive strength, wide temperature range, and compatibility with legacy CD4000B-series logic voltage levels.
Technical Context
The CD4503BPWR implements six independent CMOS noninverting buffers, each with tri-state output controlled by two global enable inputs: OE1 (pins 1 & 2) enables buffers Y1–Y4, while OE2 (pin 15) enables Y5–Y6. All outputs are fully buffered and capable of driving capacitive loads up to 50 pF at 5 MHz.
It features true 3-state operation with high-impedance outputs when disabled, rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance (up to VDD), and guaranteed noise margins of ≥1.5 V at VDD = 5 V. The device is designed for bidirectional bus interfacing between dissimilar logic families without external pull-ups.

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 enable; ±4.2 mA drive at 15 V | Lacks dual-OE segmentation and high-current capability - unsuitable for bus arbitration or heavy loads | Select CD4503BPWR when 3-state control, >±10 mA drive, or independent group enable is required. |
| SN74LVC125APW | 3.3 V only; 50 Ω series termination; 24 mA drive but no dual OE; CMOS input thresholds | Not compatible with 5–18 V logic; requires level shifters for mixed-voltage use | Choose CD4503BPWR for wide-VDD, dual-OE, and industrial temperature support - SN74LVC125APW fits only 3.3 V LVTTL systems. |
Compared with CD4050BM96 and SN74LVC125APW, the CD4503BPWR uniquely combines dual independent 3-state enables, ±24 mA drive over 3–18 V, and -55°C to +125°C operation - making it the only option among the three for robust, mixed-voltage industrial bus isolation with segmented control.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the CD4503BPWR?
The CD4503BPWR supports a supply voltage range of 3 V to 18 V DC. Its absolute maximum rating is 20 V, but continuous operation above 18 V is not recommended. At 15 V, it delivers ±24 mA output current, making it suitable for driving higher-voltage peripherals directly without level shifters. The CD4503BPWR maintains specified timing and logic thresholds across this full range.
Does the CD4503BPWR have pin-compatible alternatives in TSSOP-16?
No verified pin-compatible replacements exist for the CD4503BPWR in TSSOP-16. While CD4050BM96 and SN74LVC125APW share the same 16-pin TSSOP footprint, their pinouts differ significantly - especially for enable and power connections. The CD4503BPWR's dual OE inputs (pins 1, 2, and 15) and internal OE1 tie are unique. Board redesign is required to substitute either alternative.
How does the dual output-enable architecture of the CD4503BPWR improve system design?
The CD4503BPWR's dual enable structure - OE1 controlling Y1–Y4 and OE2 controlling Y5–Y6 - allows hardware-level segmentation of bus traffic. For example, in an industrial controller, OE1 can gate sensor inputs while OE2 manages actuator outputs, preventing simultaneous drive conflicts. This eliminates software-based arbitration delays and reduces MCU interrupt load. The CD4503BPWR thus simplifies real-time I/O scheduling in deterministic systems.
Is the CD4503BPWR suitable for use with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
Yes, the CD4503BPWR operates reliably at VDD = 3.3 V, with guaranteed logic thresholds and 3-state behavior. Input high-level minimum is 0.7×VDD (2.31 V), compatible with standard 3.3 V CMOS outputs. However, output drive strength drops to ±4 mA at 3.3 V - sufficient for logic interfacing but not for driving LEDs or relays. For full ±24 mA performance, operate the CD4503BPWR at ≥5 V.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating for the CD4503BPWR?
The CD4503BPWR carries an MSL Level-1 rating per JEDEC J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH and may be reflowed at peak temperatures up to 260°C without baking. This reflects its robust TSSOP packaging and NIPDAU lead finish. The CD4503BPWR is shipped in dry-packed reels and requires no preconditioning prior to standard SMT assembly.
