Product details
Overview
CD4532BPWG4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit priority encoder IC in a 16-pin TSSOP package, operating across -55°C to +125°C, with supply voltage range 3V–18V, propagation delay ≤120 ns at 5V, and TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs. It encodes eight active-low data inputs into three active-high binary outputs, used in keyboard scanning and interrupt prioritization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CD4532BPWG4 datasheet, CD4532BPWG4 pinout, CD4532BPWG4 application, or CD4532BPWG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its wide VDD range, high noise immunity, single-supply operation, and compatibility with legacy CD4000-series logic families in industrial control and instrumentation systems.
Technical Context
The CD4532BPWG4 implements combinational priority encoding logic where input I7 has highest priority and I0 lowest, with active-low enable (EI) controlling output validity. Its internal structure uses NAND/NOR-based gate arrays without latching or clocking, making it purely asynchronous.
It features complementary outputs: three encoded bits (Y2, Y1, Y0) and group signal GS (Group Select), plus EO (Enable Out) for cascading multiple encoders. All inputs and outputs are buffered for drive capability and noise rejection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-to-3 priority encoder with active-low inputs and active-high outputs |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3V to 18V - supports single-supply operation across battery, industrial, and legacy logic rails |
| Propagation Delay | ≤120 ns at VDD = 5V - enables use in medium-speed digital control timing paths |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Input Logic Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.33×VDD, VIH ≥ 0.67×VDD - ensures robust noise margin across full voltage range |
| Output Drive | ±4.2 mA at VDD = 15V - sufficient to directly drive multiple CMOS/TTL inputs without buffering |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package (PW suffix), 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I0) | Data Input 0 (Low Priority) | Active-low input; encoded only when higher-priority inputs I1–I7 are inactive |
| 2 (I1) | Data Input 1 | Active-low input; second lowest priority in encoding hierarchy |
| 3 (I2) | Data Input 2 | Active-low input; third lowest priority |
| 4 (I3) | Data Input 3 | Active-low input; fourth lowest priority |
| 5 (I4) | Data Input 4 | Active-low input; middle priority in 8-input set |
| 6 (I5) | Data Input 5 | Active-low input; second highest priority |
| 7 (I6) | Data Input 6 | Active-low input; second highest priority |
| 8 (I7) | Data Input 7 (High Priority) | Active-low input; overrides all lower-priority inputs when asserted |
| 9 (VSS) | Ground | Logic and power reference terminal; must be low-impedance connection |
| 10 (EO) | Enable Output | Active-low cascading signal; goes low when any input is active and EI is enabled |
| 11 (Y0) | LSB Output | Active-high encoded bit 0; reflects binary value of highest-priority active input |
| 12 (Y1) | MSB-1 Output | Active-high encoded bit 1 |
| 13 (Y2) | MSB Output | Active-high encoded bit 2; completes 3-bit binary output |
| 14 (GS) | Group Select | Active-high flag indicating at least one input is active and EI is asserted |
| 15 (EI) | Enable Input | Active-low global enable; disables all outputs and sets GS/EO high when deasserted |
| 16 (VDD) | Positive Supply | Single positive supply rail; no separate VCC/VEE required |
Key Features

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, same electrical specs, MSL Level-1, 2500-piece tape-and-reel | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or board space where TSSOP thermal profile is constrained | Select CD4532BM96 when SOIC footprint compatibility or reflow process limitations require alternate packaging |
| CD4532BNSR | SOP-16 package, identical timing and voltage specs, slightly larger body (8.1 mm × 6.2 mm vs. 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm) | Suitable for manual assembly or legacy SOP-compatible tooling where TSSOP pick-and-place is unavailable | Choose CD4532BNSR when existing production lines lack TSSOP support but require same functional behavior as CD4532BPWG4 |
Compared with CD4532BM96 and CD4532BNSR, the CD4532BPWG4 offers the smallest footprint and highest board density, with identical logic functionality and temperature rating-making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and portable electronics designs requiring priority encoding.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of the CD4532BPWG4 at 15V supply?
The CD4532BPWG4 exhibits a maximum propagation delay of 60 ns at VDD = 15V, per TI's CD4532B datasheet (SCHS082C). This faster switching versus lower voltages supports tighter timing margins in high-voltage industrial logic interfaces. The CD4532BPWG4 maintains consistent delay characteristics across its full 3V–18V range, with measured values verified under load conditions specified in the official characterization report.
Does the CD4532BPWG4 support cascading with other priority encoders?
Yes, the CD4532BPWG4 supports cascading via its EO (Enable Out) pin, which goes active-low when any input is asserted and EI is enabled. This signal can drive the EI pin of a second CD4532BPWG4 to build 16-input or larger encoding trees. Cascading preserves priority hierarchy across stages, and the CD4532BPWG4's output drive strength ensures reliable fanout to multiple downstream enables without external buffers.
Is the CD4532BPWG4 pin-compatible with older CD4532BE or CD4532BM variants?
Yes, the CD4532BPWG4 is pin-compatible with CD4532BE (PDIP-16) and CD4532BM (SOIC-16) in terms of signal assignment and electrical interface. While package dimensions differ (TSSOP vs. PDIP/SOIC), the pin numbering, function mapping, and DC/AC specifications match exactly. Engineers may substitute CD4532BPWG4 into legacy designs using appropriate land pattern adaptation for the TSSOP footprint.
What is the meaning of the 'G4' suffix in CD4532BPWG4?
The 'G4' suffix in CD4532BPWG4 denotes TI's green packaging standard: lead-free (Pb-free), RoHS-compliant construction with NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish and no brominated flame retardants. This marking confirms compliance with JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 2a and TI's internal green material requirements, distinguishing it from earlier non-RoHS versions like CD4532BF3A (SnPb finish).
Can the CD4532BPWG4 operate reliably at -55°C ambient temperature?
Yes, the CD4532BPWG4 is fully characterized and guaranteed to operate across -55°C to +125°C, per its official specification table. TI qualifies this part for extended temperature operation using high-stability CMOS processes and rigorous burn-in testing. At -55°C, propagation delay increases to ≤180 ns (vs. ≤120 ns at 25°C), but all logic functions, input thresholds, and output drive remain within datasheet limits-making the CD4532BPWG4 suitable for aerospace and downhole industrial applications.
