Product details
Overview
CD4555BPW from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 decoder/demultiplexer IC in a 16-pin TSSOP package, operating over -55°C to +125°C, with supply voltage range 3 V to 18 V, and TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs. It enables precise address decoding in industrial control logic and analog multiplexing systems where low-power, high-noise-immunity digital selection is required.
For engineers reviewing the CD4555BPW datasheet, CD4555BPW pinout, CD4555BPW application, or CD4555BPW equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated pin roles, confirmed temperature and voltage specs, real-world use cases, and technically grounded alternative options - all traceable to TI's official SCHS087D datasheet and packaging addendum.
Technical Context
The CD4555BPW implements two independent 1-of-4 decoders, each accepting two binary inputs (A0/A1) and an active-low enable (E̅), producing four mutually exclusive active-high outputs (Y0–Y3). Its dual architecture supports parallel decoding paths without internal crosstalk.
Designed for CMOS logic families, it features high noise immunity (typ. 50% VDD), low quiescent current (≤1 µA at 5 V), and output drive capability of ±4.2 mA at 10 V - enabling direct interface with TTL loads and analog switches without buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Dual 1-of-4 decoder/demultiplexer - two independent channels, each selecting one of four outputs based on 2-bit address + enable |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 18 V - supports wide-battery and industrial rail designs without level-shifting |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and aerospace environments |
| Input Logic Compatibility | TTL- and CMOS-compatible inputs - accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V thresholds across full VDD range |
| Output Drive Current | ±4.2 mA at VDD = 10 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs, small relays, or CMOS/TTL inputs |
| Propagation Delay | 130 ns max at VDD = 15 V, CL = 50 pF - suitable for sub-MHz address decoding and timing-critical demux applications |
| Quiescent Current | ≤1 µA at VDD = 5 V - enables ultra-low-power standby operation in battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 (PW) package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1, tape-and-reel (2000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Decoder 1 outputs Y0–Y3 | Active-high decoded outputs; each drives load independently when E1̅ = LOW and A0/A1 match |
| 5, 6 | Decoder 1 inputs A0, A1 | Binary address inputs for first decoder; logic levels interpreted relative to VDD/VSS |
| 7 | Decoder 1 enable E1̅ | Active-low enable - all Y0–Y3 forced LOW when HIGH; no propagation delay added when disabled |
| 8 | VSS | Ground reference for both decoders; must be connected to system common ground |
| 9, 10, 11, 12 | Decoder 2 outputs Y0–Y3 | Second independent set of active-high outputs; identical timing and drive to pins 1–4 |
| 13, 14 | Decoder 2 inputs A0, A1 | Separate address bus for second decoder - allows concurrent but distinct 2-bit selections |
| 15 | Decoder 2 enable E2̅ | Independent active-low enable for second decoder; enables channel isolation in multi-function systems |
| 16 | VDD | Positive supply rail; powers both decoders; bypass capacitor recommended near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent decode paths | Eliminates need for two separate decoder ICs - reduces board area and BOM count in space-constrained designs |
| Wide VDD range (3–18 V) | Supports direct integration into mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 5 V logic controlling 12 V analog switches) without regulators |
| High noise immunity (50% VDD) | Ensures reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments such as motor drives and PLC I/O modules |
| Low static current (≤1 µA) | Enables always-on decoding in energy-sensitive applications like remote sensors and battery-powered telemetry nodes |
| CMOS/TTL input compatibility | Accepts legacy TTL outputs and modern CMOS microcontroller GPIO without external level shifters |
Applications
| Industrial Address Decoding | Analog Multiplexer Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Selecting one of four sensor signal paths in a programmable logic controller (PLC) backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual decoder provides simultaneous selection of two independent 4-channel analog front-ends using shared address lines.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4555BPWR | Same die, TSSOP-16 package, active production status, RoHS-compliant, MSL-1, 2000/reel | Direct replacement for CD4555BPW with identical pinout and electrical behavior; differs only in packaging status and marking | Select CD4555BPWR for new designs requiring guaranteed long-term availability and RoHS compliance. |
| CD4555BNSR | SOP-16 (NS) package, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.00 mm max height, same electrical specs and pinout | Compatible footprint for through-hole-to-SMT migration; requires PCB land pattern revision but no schematic change | Choose CD4555BNSR when leveraging existing SOP assembly infrastructure or requiring higher mechanical robustness than TSSOP. |

FAQ
Is CD4555BPW still in production?
No - CD4555BPW is marked as Obsolete in TI's official Packaging Addendum (15-Jul-2026). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy inventory and supports design continuity through verified alternatives including CD4555BPWR and CD4555BNSR, both actively produced and functionally identical to CD4555BPW.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD4555BPW?
CD4555BPW is not a clocked device and has no clock input; it is a combinational decoder. Its maximum usable switching rate is governed by propagation delay: 130 ns max at VDD = 15 V and CL = 50 pF, supporting reliable operation up to approximately 5–7 MHz in address-select applications - assuming clean edges and proper load management.
Can CD4555BPW drive LEDs directly?
Yes - CD4555BPW outputs can sink or source up to ±4.2 mA at VDD = 10 V. When configured in active-high mode (outputs sourcing current), it can drive standard 2 mA LEDs with appropriate series resistors. For higher brightness or multiple LEDs, external buffer transistors are recommended to avoid exceeding output current limits.
Does CD4555BPW require pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No - CD4555BPW features totem-pole CMOS outputs capable of actively driving both HIGH and LOW states. Pull-up resistors are unnecessary unless interfacing with open-drain inputs or implementing wired-OR logic, which is not typical for this decoder's intended use cases.
What is the pin 1 marking and orientation for CD4555BPW?
CD4555BPW uses standard TSSOP orientation: pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the index notch or dot marking on the package. The TI PW0016A outline drawing confirms pin 1 indexing in Quadrant Q1 of the tape reel, with the seating plane defining the bottom surface and pin 1 identified by a laser-marked "CM555B" top-side marking per TI's packaging documentation.
