Product details
Overview
CD4532BMG4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit priority encoder IC in a 16-pin SOIC package, operating across -55°C to +125°C, with supply voltage range 3 V to 18 V, propagation delay of 120 ns (at 5 V), and TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs. It converts eight active-low input lines into three-bit binary output, used in keyboard encoding and interrupt prioritization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CD4532BMG4 datasheet, CD4532BMG4 pinout, CD4532BMG4 application, or CD4532BMG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package dimensions, functional role in digital logic systems, and validated alternative options for legacy design continuity and obsolescence mitigation.
Technical Context
The CD4532BMG4 implements combinational priority encoding logic where the highest-order active-low input (I₀–I₇) determines the 3-bit binary output (Y₀–Y₂), with GS (Group Select) indicating valid encoding and EO (Enable Output) supporting cascading. All inputs and outputs are buffered for noise immunity and fan-out capability.
It operates in standard CMOS technology with rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance, static discharge protection per MIL-STD-883, and guaranteed operation at 5 V, 10 V, and 15 V supply rails - enabling interoperability with mixed-voltage digital subsystems without level-shifting.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar priority encoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4532BM96 | Same die, identical electrical specs, SOIC-16 tape-and-reel packaging (2500 pcs/reel) instead of tube | Designed for automated SMT assembly; requires reflow profile compliance (MSL Level-1) | Select CD4532BM96 for high-volume production with pick-and-place integration; CD4532BMG4 remains viable for prototyping and low-volume repair. |
| MC14532BDR2G | Pin-compatible but manufactured by ON Semiconductor; propagation delay 130 ns at 5 V, wider VDD tolerance (3–18 V same), identical pinout and function | Qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 3; preferred for automotive infotainment button interfaces requiring qualification traceability | Choose MC14532BDR2G when automotive qualification or alternate supply chain diversification is required; CD4532BMG4 retains full functional equivalence. |
Compared with CD4532BMG4, CD4532BM96 offers identical performance in automated manufacturing contexts, while MC14532BDR2G provides automotive qualification at marginally higher propagation delay - both preserve pinout, logic behavior, and cascade capability without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CD4532BMG4?
The CD4532BMG4 supports a maximum supply voltage of 18 V DC, with guaranteed operation across the full 3 V to 18 V range. This allows direct integration with 12 V industrial buses and battery-backed systems without regulation. The CD4532BMG4 maintains specified propagation delay and output drive strength up to 18 V, per TI's SCHS082C datasheet Section 6.2.
Is CD4532BMG4 pin-compatible with the 74LS148 TTL encoder?
No, CD4532BMG4 is not pin-compatible with the 74LS148. While both perform 8-to-3 priority encoding, the CD4532BMG4 uses active-low inputs with EI/EO/GS signaling on pins 16/14/13, whereas the 74LS148 has active-low inputs but different pin assignments for enable and group signal outputs. Board-level replacement requires layout modification unless using adapter circuitry.
Does CD4532BMG4 support cascading with other CD4532B-family devices?
Yes, CD4532BMG4 supports hardware cascading via its EI (pin 16) and EO (pin 14) terminals. When EO of a higher-priority encoder is wired to EI of a lower-priority unit, the CD4532BMG4 automatically disables its own outputs if a higher-priority device asserts GS - enabling seamless expansion to 16-, 24-, or 64-input systems without added logic gates.
What is the meaning of the 'G4' suffix in CD4532BMG4?
The 'G4' suffix in CD4532BMG4 indicates TI's green packaging standard: lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish with NiPdAu plating, halogen-free mold compound, and compliant labeling per JEDEC J-STD-609. It does not denote a functional revision - the CD4532BMG4 shares identical electrical specifications and timing with CD4532BM and CD4532BM96 variants.
Can CD4532BMG4 operate reliably at -55°C?
Yes, CD4532BMG4 is fully characterized and guaranteed to operate from -55°C to +125°C, as confirmed in TI's official packaging addendum and SCHS082C datasheet. Its CMOS process and hermetic-grade packaging ensure stable propagation delay, noise margin, and output drive across this full military-grade temperature range.
