Product details
Overview
CD4532BEG4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit priority encoder IC in a 16-lead plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP-N), operating from −55°C to +125°C, with supply voltage range 3 V to 18 V, propagation delay of 120 ns (typ.) at 5 V, and TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs. It converts eight active-low input lines into three-bit binary-coded output, used in keyboard encoding and interrupt prioritization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CD4532BEG4 datasheet, CD4532BEG4 pinout, CD4532BEG4 application, or CD4532BEG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its wide VDD range, high noise immunity, direct compatibility with legacy TTL logic, and availability in through-hole PDIP for prototyping and industrial control systems.
Technical Context
The CD4532BEG4 implements combinational priority encoding logic where the highest-order active-low input (I0–I7) determines the 3-bit binary output (Y0–Y2). It features an enable input (EI) that disables encoding when high and asserts group select (GS) low only when any input is active.
Its internal structure uses CMOS transmission gates and inverters, delivering rail-to-rail output swing, static operation down to DC, and immunity to latch-up under normal conditions. Input thresholds are referenced to VDD/2, ensuring robust operation across the full supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-input to 3-bit priority encoder with enable and group-select outputs |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 18 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered operation |
| Propagation Delay | 120 ns (typ.) at VDD = 5 V - enables use in medium-speed digital control logic |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and aerospace environments |
| Input Logic Level | Active-low inputs with VIL ≤ 0.5×VDD, VIH ≥ 0.5×VDD - ensures reliable noise margin across supply range |
| Output Drive | CMOS push-pull outputs capable of ±4.2 mA at VDD = 15 V - directly drives multiple TTL or CMOS loads |
Pinout & Package
CD4532BEG4 is supplied in a 16-lead plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP-N), 19.1 mm × 6.6 mm body size, 2.54 mm lead pitch, through-hole mounting compatible with standard 0.1″ grid PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Input I0–I7 | Active-low priority inputs; I0 is lowest priority, I7 is highest priority |
| 9 | VSS | Ground reference terminal for all internal circuitry and output drivers |
| 10 | Y2 | MSB of 3-bit binary output code representing highest active input |
| 11 | Y1 | Intermediate bit of encoded output |
| 12 | Y0 | LSB of encoded output |
| 13 | GS | Group select output: low when any input is active, high otherwise |
| 14 | EO | Enable output: low when encoder is enabled and no input is active |
| 15 | EI | Enable input: high disables encoding and forces GS high, Y0–2 undefined |
| 16 | VDD | Positive supply terminal; powers all internal logic and output stages |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply voltage range | 3 V to 18 V operation eliminates need for level-shifting in multi-rail systems |
| Priority resolution logic | Deterministic encoding resolves simultaneous inputs by selecting highest-priority active line |
| Complementary status outputs | GS and EO signals provide unambiguous system-level readiness and idle-state detection |
| High noise immunity | CMOS input thresholds and hysteresis-free design ensure stable operation in electrically noisy environments |
| Through-hole PDIP packaging | Facilitates manual assembly, breadboarding, and long-term reliability in vibration-prone industrial enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar priority encoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4532BM96 | SOIC-16 package, surface-mount, MSL Level-1, same electrical specs and pinout | Requires reflow assembly; suited for high-density automated production, not hand-soldering | Select CD4532BM96 for volume SMT manufacturing; CD4532BEG4 remains optimal for through-hole prototyping and repair. |
| 74HC148 | 3.3 V/5 V only, faster propagation (18 ns typ.), active-high inputs, different pinout and truth table | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign and logic inversion in firmware or external gates | Choose 74HC148 only when speed and low-voltage operation outweigh compatibility constraints. |
Compared with CD4532BM96 and 74HC148, the CD4532BEG4 provides unique value in legacy-compatible through-hole deployment, ultra-wide supply flexibility, and seamless drop-in replacement for aging 4000-series designs without layout or firmware changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CD4532BEG4?
The CD4532BEG4 is rated for operation up to 18 V DC on VDD. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage to internal oxide layers. At 18 V, propagation delay improves to ~85 ns (typ.), and output drive strength increases to ±6.8 mA, supporting heavier capacitive loads in high-noise settings.
Is CD4532BEG4 pin-compatible with the 74LS148 TTL encoder?
No, CD4532BEG4 is not pin-compatible with 74LS148. While both perform 8-to-3 priority encoding, CD4532BEG4 uses active-low inputs with EI/EO/GS signaling on pins 15/14/13, whereas 74LS148 places EI on pin 5 and has different output labeling and pin assignments. Direct substitution requires PCB modification.
Does CD4532BEG4 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, CD4532BEG4 does not require external pull-ups. Its CMOS push-pull outputs actively drive both logic high and low states. Outputs Y0–Y2, GS, and EO are fully buffered and capable of sourcing/sinking ≥4 mA at VDD = 15 V, eliminating need for passive termination in standard interfacing.
What is the function of the EO (Enable Output) pin on CD4532BEG4?
The EO pin (pin 14) on CD4532BEG4 goes low only when EI is low (encoder enabled) and all inputs I0–I7 are high (no active request). It serves as a "no-input-active" flag, enabling cascading of multiple CD4532BEG4 devices or triggering idle-state actions in host controllers without additional logic.
Can CD4532BEG4 operate reliably at −55°C?
Yes, CD4532BEG4 is fully specified and tested for operation from −55°C to +125°C. Its CMOS process and hermetic-grade packaging ensure stable propagation delay, input threshold symmetry, and output drive capability across this full military-grade temperature range, making it suitable for aerospace and outdoor industrial deployments.
