Product details
Overview
CD4503BPWRG4 from Texas Instruments is a hex noninverting buffer with 3-state outputs, designed for high-current digital signal routing in industrial control and instrumentation systems. It features dual independent output-enable controls (one for four buffers, one for two), ±24 mA sink/source capability at VDD = 15 V, and operates across –55°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the CD4503BPWRG4 datasheet, CD4503BPWRG4 pinout, CD4503BPWRG4 application, or CD4503BPWRG4 equivalent, this device is selected for level-shifting bus interfaces, multiplexed data path control, and high-drive logic isolation where dual enable granularity and wide temperature range are required.
Technical Context
The CD4503BPWRG4 implements six independent CMOS noninverting buffers, each with three-state output controlled by two global OE signals: OE1 (pins 1 & 2) enables buffers A–D (pins 3–6, 11–14), and OE2 (pin 15) enables buffers E–F (pins 9–10). All inputs are compatible with TTL and CMOS logic levels.
Its high sink/source current (±24 mA typical at 15 V) supports direct driving of LEDs, relays, and terminated transmission lines without external drivers. The device uses standard CD4000-series silicon process, ensuring radiation-hardened operation and latch-up immunity per MIL-STD-883.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability buffer interfaces FPGA configuration outputs to high-voltage RF switches requiring clean, glitch-free enable signals. Use Value: –55°C to +125°C rating ensures stable operation in unheated enclosures exposed to desert or arctic ambient extremes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex noninverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4050BE | No 3-state outputs; single enable; ±4.2 mA drive at 15 V | Only suitable for simple level-shifting without bus contention management | Select when 3-state control and high drive are unnecessary and cost is primary constraint |
| SN74LVTH16244DGGR | 16-bit, 3.3 V only, higher speed (2.9 ns), but no extended temp rating | Requires level translators for 5 V/12 V interfaces; limited to commercial temp range | Select for high-speed, low-voltage data buses where industrial temperature range is not required |
Compared with CD4503BPWRG4, CD4050BE lacks 3-state control and current drive for active bus loading, while SN74LVTH16244DGGR offers speed and density but sacrifices temperature range and voltage flexibility - making CD4503BPWRG4 uniquely suited for ruggedized, multi-voltage, medium-speed control applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for CD4503BPWRG4?
The CD4503BPWRG4 delivers ±24 mA sink and source current per output at VDD = 15 V, as specified in the Harris Semiconductor datasheet SCHS068C. This value is measured under DC conditions with load connected to VDD or ground. The CD4503BPWRG4 maintains this drive strength across its full operating temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), enabling direct interface with LEDs, relays, and terminated lines without external amplification.
Does CD4503BPWRG4 support TTL-level input signals?
Yes, CD4503BPWRG4 accepts TTL-compatible input thresholds: VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V across the full supply range (3–18 V). Its CMOS input structure ensures noise immunity and low input current (< 1 µA), allowing direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL outputs without pull-up resistors or level shifters - a key feature confirmed in the functional description of the CD4503B datasheet.
How are the two enable controls (OE1 and OE2) physically implemented on CD4503BPWRG4?
CD4503BPWRG4 implements OE1 as a dual-pin input (pins 1 and 2, internally OR'd) controlling buffers A–D, and OE2 as a single-pin input (pin 15) controlling buffers E–F. Both are active-low. This layout is explicitly defined in the pin configuration diagram of SCHS068C and verified in TI's packaging documentation for the PW package. Pins 1 and 2 must be tied together or driven identically to avoid undefined behavior.
Is CD4503BPWRG4 RoHS compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
CD4503BPWRG4 is RoHS compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and carries an MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), per TI's Packaging Information Addendum dated 15-Jul-2026. This classification permits indefinite storage and assembly without baking, simplifying manufacturing logistics for high-reliability production runs.
Can CD4503BPWRG4 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply voltage?
Yes, CD4503BPWRG4 is fully specified down to 3 V supply voltage, with guaranteed logic thresholds, propagation delay (≤500 ns max at 3 V), and output drive (±1.5 mA min) per the absolute maximum and recommended operating conditions tables in SCHS068C. Its rail-to-rail input compatibility ensures interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level translation.
