Product details
Overview
CD4532BPWE4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit priority encoder IC in a 16-pin TSSOP package, operating from 3 V to 18 V supply, with propagation delay of 120 ns (typ.) at 5 V and 70 ns (typ.) at 15 V, used for digital signal compression in industrial control panels and legacy microcontroller I/O expansion systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD4532BPWE4 datasheet, CD4532BPWE4 pinout, CD4532BPWE4 application, or CD4532BPWE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, terminal mapping, real-world use cases, and qualified alternative parts for legacy system maintenance and redesign.
Technical Context
The CD4532BPWE4 implements combinational logic encoding of eight active-low inputs (I₀–I₇) into three active-high binary outputs (Y₀–Y₂), with enable (EI) and group select (GS) control signals. It features complementary output (EO) for cascading multiple encoders and operates across the full military temperature range (−55°C to +125°C).
Designed using CMOS technology, the device exhibits high noise immunity (≥50% VDD), low static current (≤1 µA at 5 V), and rail-to-rail output swing. Input thresholds are referenced to VDD/2, ensuring compatibility with TTL and other CMOS families when interfaced via level-shifting buffers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 18 V - supports direct interface with 5 V and 12 V legacy industrial rails without regulation. |
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 120 ns (typ.) at 5 V - determines maximum input event rate in real-time priority arbitration (≤8.3 kHz sustained). |
| Input Logic Levels | VIL ≤ 0.5 VDD/3, VIH ≥ 0.7 VDD/3 - ensures robust operation under noisy power conditions common in PLC backplanes. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±4.2 mA at VDD = 15 V - sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or directly interface with microcontroller GPIOs. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤1 µA at 5 V - enables battery-backed operation in low-power supervisory circuits. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - certified for deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
CD4532BPWE4 is housed in a 16-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP), 4.4 mm wide × 5.0 mm long × 1.2 mm max height, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the index notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I₀) | Low-active data input | Lowest-priority input; asserted low to request encoding - tied high via pull-up in unused positions. |
| 2 (I₁) | Low-active data input | Second-lowest priority; shares same timing and loading characteristics as all I₀–I₇ inputs. |
| 3 (I₂) | Low-active data input | Third priority level; electrically identical to I₀–I₇ - no internal weighting or hysteresis. |
| 4 (I₃) | Low-active data input | Fourth priority level; requires external pull-up for proper idle-state logic (VDD). |
| 5 (I₄) | Low-active data input | Fifth priority level; compatible with open-collector or mechanical switch sources without buffering. |
| 6 (I₅) | Low-active data input | Sixth priority level; input capacitance ≤7.5 pF - supports >1 MHz debounce-free switching in clean environments. |
| 7 (I₆) | Low-active data input | Seventh priority level; referenced to VSS; no internal ESD diodes to VDD. |
| 8 (I₇) | Low-active data input | Highest-priority input; dominates all lower-priority assertions - critical for fault-interrupt signaling. |
| 9 (VSS) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce. |
| 10 (Y₂) | Active-high MSB output | Most significant bit of 3-bit encoded result; transitions within tPD after valid input assertion. |
| 11 (Y₁) | Active-high middle-bit output | Mid-bit output; synchronized with Y₂ and Y₀ - no skew between outputs specified. |
| 12 (Y₀) | Active-high LSB output | Least significant bit; complements standard binary weight (Y₂Y₁Y₀ = 000 for I₀ only, 111 for I₇ only). |
| 13 (EO) | Active-low enable output | Indicates no input active (all I₀–I₇ high); used to cascade second-stage encoder or trigger timeout logic. |
| 14 (GS) | Active-high group select | Enables output drivers only when high; allows parallel connection of multiple CD4532BPWE4 devices. |
| 15 (EI) | Active-low enable input | Global disable: forces all outputs (Y₀–Y₂, EO, GS) to inactive states when low. |
| 16 (VDD) | Positive supply | Power rail for entire logic array; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Priority encoding logic | Resolves up to eight simultaneous input requests into unique 3-bit code, eliminating bus contention in interrupt-driven systems. |
| Cascadable architecture | EO and GS pins allow stacking of multiple CD4532BPWE4 units to encode 16-, 24-, or 32-input systems without external glue logic. |
| Wide supply voltage range | Operates across 3 V–18 V, enabling reuse in both modern low-voltage sensor nodes and legacy 12 V/15 V control hardware. |
| Military-grade temperature rating | Qualified from −55°C to +125°C per MIL-PRF-38535, supporting deployment in harsh environments without derating. |
| CMOS input/output structure | Provides high input impedance (>100 MΩ), low dynamic power, and compatibility with TTL, LSTTL, and other CMOS families. |
Applications
| Industrial Control Panel Interface | Legacy Microcontroller I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar priority encoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD40147BE | 10-line-to-4-line priority encoder (BCD output); higher pin count (16-pin PDIP only); slower tPD (250 ns @ 5 V). | Outputs BCD instead of pure binary; lacks EO/GS cascade control; limited to 10 inputs. | Select CD40147BE only if BCD output format matches existing decoder logic or display driver requirements. |
| 74HC148N | 8-line-to-3-line priority encoder with active-low outputs; faster tPD (16 ns @ 4.5 V); narrower VCC range (2 V–6 V). | Requires external inverters for active-high output compatibility; not rated beyond 125°C. | Choose 74HC148N for high-speed, low-voltage systems where extended temperature range is not required. |
Compared with CD4532BPWE4, CD40147BE offers BCD encoding but lacks cascade support and speed, while 74HC148N provides superior speed and CMOS drive strength at the cost of temperature range and supply flexibility - making CD4532BPWE4 optimal for ruggedized, wide-supply legacy integration.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage for CD4532BPWE4?
The CD4532BPWE4 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 20 V DC. Operation above 18 V is not recommended, as the device is characterized and guaranteed only up to 18 V. Exceeding this may cause irreversible damage to internal oxide layers or junctions, especially under temperature stress or prolonged bias.
Does CD4532BPWE4 support cascading with other CD4532BPWE4 devices?
Yes, CD4532BPWE4 supports cascading via its EO (Enable Output) and GS (Group Select) pins. When EO of a lower-priority stage is connected to EI of a higher-priority stage, multiple CD4532BPWE4 units can encode up to 16, 24, or more inputs while preserving priority hierarchy and minimizing external logic.
What is the input leakage current specification for CD4532BPWE4 at 25°C?
The input leakage current for CD4532BPWE4 is specified as ±100 nA maximum at 25°C and VDD = 15 V. This low leakage enables reliable operation with high-value pull-up resistors (e.g., 1 MΩ) in battery-powered or high-impedance sensing applications without signal degradation.
Is CD4532BPWE4 RoHS compliant?
Yes, CD4532BPWE4 is RoHS compliant, with lead finish NIPDAU (Nickel/Palladium/Gold) and no exemptions applied. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and TI's internal environmental standards, including restriction of hexavalent chromium, cadmium, mercury, PBB, and PBDE.
Can CD4532BPWE4 directly drive LEDs without current-limiting resistors?
No, CD4532BPWE4 cannot directly drive LEDs without series current-limiting resistors. Its output drive capability is ±4.2 mA at 15 V, insufficient for typical LED forward currents (5–20 mA). A resistor must be used to limit current and prevent output stage overstress or latch-up.
