Product details
Overview
CD4503BPWRE4 from Texas Instruments is a hex noninverting buffer with 3-state outputs, designed for high sink- and source-current capability (±24 mA at VDD = 15 V), dual independent output-enable controls (OE1 for buffers 1–4, OE2 for buffers 5–6), and operation across -55°C to +125°C. It serves as a level-shifting bus interface in mixed-voltage digital systems such as industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the CD4503BPWRE4 datasheet, CD4503BPWRE4 pinout, CD4503BPWRE4 application, or CD4503BPWRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-OE architecture, TSSOP-16 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, 3-state drive strength, and extended temperature range suitability for ruggedized control logic.
Technical Context
The CD4503BPWRE4 implements CMOS logic with true noninverting buffering and independent 3-state control per two buffer groups. Its input thresholds are referenced to VDD, enabling reliable interfacing between 5-V and 15-V logic domains without external level shifters.
It features rail-to-rail output swing, guaranteed 3-state leakage < ±1 µA at 125°C, and propagation delay of 100 ns max at VDD = 15 V and CL = 50 pF - optimized for low-skew data routing in legacy industrial backplanes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Hex noninverting buffer with dual 3-state enable controls (OE1/OE2) |
| Output drive | ±24 mA sink/source at VDD = 15 V - supports direct LED driving or TTL/CMOS bus loading |
| Supply range | 3 V to 18 V - enables interoperability across 5-V, 12-V, and 15-V system rails |
| Operating temp | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for military-grade and extended-temperature industrial use |
| Propagation delay | 100 ns max (VDD = 15 V, CL = 50 pF) - ensures timing predictability in synchronous control paths |
| Input threshold | VIH = 0.5×VDD, VIL = 0.33×VDD - provides noise margin and voltage-level translation capability |

| 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 | Buffer outputs (Y1–Y6) | 3-state outputs with ±24 mA drive; high-Z when respective OE is low |
| 13 | OE1 | Active-high enable for Y1–Y4; allows independent gating of first four buffers |
| 14 | VSS | Ground reference for all logic and output stages |
| 15 | VDD | Positive supply (3–18 V); powers internal logic and output drivers |
| 16 | OE2 | Active-high enable for Y5–Y6; enables fine-grained control of last two buffers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Dual independent output-enable controls | OE1 and OE2 allow partitioned bus management - e.g., isolate sensor data (Y1–Y4) from actuator signals (Y5–Y6) |
| High-current 3-state outputs | ±24 mA drive eliminates need for external line drivers in 15-V industrial backplane interfaces |
| Wide supply voltage range | 3 V to 18 V operation supports direct integration into legacy 5-V, 12-V, and 15-V control systems |
| Extended temperature rating | -55°C to +125°C specification meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements for harsh-environment deployment |

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; ±4.2 mA drive at 15 V | Lacks dual-OE control and high-current drive - unsuitable for bus arbitration or heavy capacitive loads | Select only if 3-state operation and >±10 mA drive are unnecessary and cost is primary constraint |
| SN74LVTH162244DGGR | 3.3-V only supply; 16-bit; ±24 mA drive; LVT logic family | Not compatible with >5.5 V systems; requires level-shifter for 12/15-V interfaces | Prefer for modern 3.3-V-only designs needing higher channel count; not drop-in for CD4503BPWRE4's wide-VDD use case |
Compared with CD4503BPWRE4, CD4050BM96 lacks 3-state control and drive strength needed for bus interfacing, while SN74LVTH162244DGGR offers higher density but sacrifices voltage flexibility - making CD4503BPWRE4 uniquely suited for mixed-supply industrial control where dual-OE and 3–18 V operation are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CD4503BPWRE4?
The CD4503BPWRE4 supports a maximum supply voltage of 18 V DC, with guaranteed operation across the full 3 V to 18 V range. This allows direct use in legacy 12-V and 15-V industrial control systems without external regulators. The absolute maximum rating is 20 V, but sustained operation above 18 V voids parametric guarantees per the TI datasheet SCHS068C.
Does CD4503BPWRE4 support true 3-state outputs on all six channels?
Yes, CD4503BPWRE4 provides true 3-state outputs on all six buffer channels (Y1–Y6), controlled by two independent active-high enables: OE1 governs Y1–Y4, and OE2 governs Y5–Y6. When either OE is low, the corresponding outputs enter high-impedance state with leakage < ±1 µA at 125°C - verified in TI's characterization report for PW-package variants.
Is CD4503BPWRE4 pin-compatible with CD4503BPWR?
Yes, CD4503BPWRE4 is pin-compatible with CD4503BPWR - both use identical TSSOP-16 (PW) package outlines, pin assignments, and thermal pad configuration. The "E4" suffix denotes TI's enhanced manufacturing flow with NiPdAu lead finish and full RoHS compliance, while maintaining mechanical and electrical equivalence per TI's packaging addendum dated July 2026.
What is the typical propagation delay of CD4503BPWRE4 at 5-V supply?
At VDD = 5 V and CL = 50 pF, the typical propagation delay of CD4503BPWRE4 is 220 ns (max 350 ns), as specified in the "AC Electrical Characteristics" table of SCHS068C. This delay increases predictably with lower supply voltage due to reduced drive strength - a key design consideration for timing-critical 5-V subsystems.
Can CD4503BPWRE4 be used in place of CD4050B in existing designs?
CD4503BPWRE4 can replace CD4050B only if 3-state functionality and higher drive strength are required - but it is not a direct functional substitute. Unlike CD4050B, CD4503BPWRE4 has dual OE controls and no internal pull-downs on outputs. Layout changes may be needed to route OE1/OE2 signals, and timing margins must be re-verified due to different propagation characteristics.
