Product details
Overview
CD54HC147F3A from Texas Instruments is a high-speed CMOS 9-input priority encoder performing 10-line-to-4-line active-low encoding with decimal zero implied, operating across -55°C to +125°C, supporting 2V–6V supply, and delivering 13ns typical propagation delay at 5V/15pF. It serves in military-grade industrial control panels requiring robust input prioritization under extreme temperature conditions.
For engineers reviewing the CD54HC147F3A datasheet, CD54HC147F3A pinout, CD54HC147F3A application, or CD54HC147F3A equivalent, key selection criteria include its CDIP (J) package with 16-pin through-hole layout, -55°C to 125°C extended temperature rating, HC-type logic compatibility, active-low input/output architecture, and priority resolution of nine inputs with I9 highest priority.
Technical Context
The CD54HC147F3A implements combinational priority encoding logic where nine active-low inputs (I0–I9) map to four active-low binary outputs (Y0–Y3), with I9 assigned highest priority and "zero" encoded when all inputs are high. Its silicon-gate CMOS design ensures LSTTL pin compatibility while maintaining low power consumption.
It operates strictly as a static combinatorial device-no clocks, latches, or internal state-relying on propagation-delay-limited signal settling. Input thresholds follow HC-family specifications (VIH = 3.15V min at VCC = 4.5V; VIL = 1.35V max), and output drive capability supports 15 LSTTL loads with balanced tPLH/tPHL timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HC-type CMOS: 2V–6V operation, high noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC), compatible with TTL-level inputs only via external pull-ups or level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | 13ns typical at VCC = 5V, CL = 15pF, TA = 25°C - enables reliable use in sub-50MHz digital control bus timing paths. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for military and aerospace applications per CD54 prefix; no derating required across full range. |
| Input Configuration | 9 active-low data inputs (I0–I9), with I9 highest priority; NC on Pin 15 - requires external pull-up resistors for proper HIGH-state definition. |
| Output Drive | Bus-driver outputs capable of sinking/sourcing ±25mA per pin - sufficient to directly drive LED indicators or small logic loads without buffers. |
| Quiescent Current | ICC ≤ 160µA max at -55°C to +125°C - enables low-power standby modes in battery-backed systems. |
| Package Type | CDIP (J), 16-pin ceramic dual in-line - hermetically sealed, leaded, through-hole mount; body size 21.34mm × 6.92mm (excludes leads). |
Pinout & Package
CD54HC147F3A uses a 16-pin CDIP (J) package: ceramic dual in-line with through-hole leads, 21.34mm × 6.92mm nominal body, SNPB (tin-lead) finish, non-RoHS compliant, MSL not applicable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I4) | Active-low data input | Input line 4; asserted LOW to indicate request; part of 9-input priority chain with I9 highest priority. |
| 2 (I5) | Active-low data input | Input line 5; shares same priority hierarchy; must be pulled HIGH via external resistor when inactive. |
| 3 (I6) | Active-low data input | Input line 6; contributes to encoded 4-bit output Y3–Y0 only when higher-priority inputs (I7–I9) are inactive. |
| 4 (I7) | Active-low data input | Input line 7; higher priority than I0–I6; forces output encoding independent of lower-priority lines when asserted. |
| 5 (I8) | Active-low data input | Input line 8; second-highest priority; output reflects I8 status unless I9 is also active. |
| 6 (Y2) | Active-low encoded output | MSB of 4-bit binary output (Y3 Y2 Y1 Y0); LOW indicates bit-2 assertion in encoded value. |
| 7 (Y1) | Active-low encoded output | Bit-1 of output; complements Y3/Y2/Y0 to represent decimal input index (e.g., I5 → 0101 → Y3=H,Y2=L,Y1=L,Y0=H). |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 9 (I0) | Active-low data input | Lowest-priority input (I0); only encoded if all I1–I9 are HIGH; defines "zero" condition when all inputs HIGH. |
| 10 (I9) | Active-low data input | Highest-priority input; dominates encoding - output reflects I9 regardless of other inputs' states. |
| 11 (I1) | Active-low data input | Input line 1; priority between I0 and I2; encoded only when I2–I9 are all HIGH. |
| 12 (I2) | Active-low data input | Input line 2; higher priority than I0/I1; determines output when I3–I9 are inactive. |
| 13 (I3) | Active-low data input | Input line 3; priority just below I4; contributes to output only if I4–I9 remain HIGH. |
| 14 (Y3) | Active-low encoded output | Most significant bit of 4-bit output; LOW when encoded value ≥ 8 (i.e., I8 or I9 active). |
| 15 (NC) | No internal connection | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected - no routing, grounding, or capacitive loading permitted. |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | CMOS core supply; accepts 2V–6V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buffered inputs and outputs | Reduces capacitive loading effects and improves noise rejection across wide temperature range without external drivers. |
| Balanced propagation delay | tPLH and tPHL match within 10% - critical for glitch-free decoding in synchronous control state machines. |
| High noise immunity | NIL = NIH = 30% of VCC at 5V - enables reliable operation in electrically noisy avionics or motor-control environments. |
| Significant power reduction vs LSTTL | ICC ≤ 160µA max over full temp range - cuts static power by >90% versus equivalent 74LS147 in always-on subsystems. |
| Wide supply voltage range | 2V–6V operation - allows direct interface with 3.3V microcontrollers or legacy 5V backplanes without level shifters. |
Applications
| Industrial Control Panel | Aerospace Avionics Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar priority encoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74HC147E | Same HC logic family, PDIP-16 package, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, rated -55°C to +125°C but catalog (not military-qualified) grade. | Lacks QML-38534 certification; unsuitable for DoD procurement or space-qualified designs requiring traceable lot documentation. | Select CD74HC147E for commercial/industrial prototypes where cost and RoHS compliance outweigh military qualification needs. |
| CD74HCT147E | HCT family: 4.5V–5.5V only, TTL-compatible inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8V), identical pinout and function but different VIH/VIL thresholds. | Requires strict 5V supply; cannot operate at 3.3V or 2V; better matches legacy LSTTL buses but incompatible with mixed-voltage systems. | Choose CD74HCT147E only when interfacing directly with 74LS-series logic without level translation. |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for CD54HC147F3A?
The CD54HC147F3A operates from 2V to 6V DC supply voltage, as specified in its HC-family electrical characteristics. This wide range allows direct integration with both 3.3V microcontrollers and legacy 5V systems without level-shifting circuitry. Operation outside this range risks functional failure or permanent damage, per absolute maximum ratings.
Does CD54HC147F3A support true 10-line input encoding?
No - the CD54HC147F3A is a 9-input priority encoder that implements 10-line-to-4-line encoding by using an implied decimal "zero": when all nine inputs (I0–I9) are HIGH, all four outputs go HIGH to represent zero. There is no dedicated I10 input; the tenth state is derived logically, not physically.
Is CD54HC147F3A RoHS compliant?
No - CD54HC147F3A uses SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish and is explicitly marked "No" for RoHS compliance in TI's packaging documentation. It is intended for military and aerospace applications where leaded hermetic packages are required for reliability and solder joint integrity under thermal cycling.
What is the significance of Pin 15 (NC) on CD54HC147F3A?
Pin 15 is a no-connect terminal with no internal bond wire or circuit connection. It must remain unconnected - neither grounded nor routed - to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress on the ceramic package. Board layout must exclude solder mask opening or trace routing at this location.
How does CD54HC147F3A handle simultaneous active inputs?
The CD54HC147F3A resolves simultaneous active inputs using fixed hardware priority: I9 has highest priority, then I8, I7… down to I0. If I5 and I9 are both LOW, the output reflects only I9's encoded value (1001), ignoring I5 entirely - no arbitration delay or metastability occurs, as encoding is purely combinational.
