Product details
Overview
CD74HC147NSR 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 at 2V–6V supply, featuring 13ns typical propagation delay at 5V/15pF, -55°C to +125°C temperature range, and buffered inputs/outputs for industrial control panel key encoding.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HC147NSR datasheet, CD74HC147NSR pinout, CD74HC147NSR application, or CD74HC147NSR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated pin mapping for SOIC-16 package, confirmed electrical specs including VIH/VIL thresholds, fanout capability, and real-world substitution guidance against functionally aligned alternatives.
Technical Context
The CD74HC147NSR implements combinational priority encoding logic where nine active-low inputs (I0–I9) are mapped to four active-low binary outputs (Y0–Y3), with I9 assigned highest priority; simultaneous low inputs resolve to the numerically highest asserted input per truth table.
It uses silicon-gate CMOS technology with rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance (0V to VCC), guaranteed noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC at 5V), and supports bus driving up to 15 LSTTL loads - enabling direct interface with legacy TTL systems without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 6V - enables operation across wide industrial supply rails including 3.3V and 5V systems without external regulators. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 13ns typical at VCC = 5V, CL = 15pF - ensures timing compatibility with 40MHz+ digital control loops in encoder-based state machines. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 3.15V min, VIL = 1.35V max at VCC = 4.5V - provides robust noise margin against EMI in noisy factory environments. |
| Fanout Capability | 15 LSTTL loads - allows direct drive of multiple downstream TTL-compatible latches or buffers without buffer amplification. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, aerospace, and industrial motor control applications requiring extended thermal resilience. |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 8µA typical at 25°C - reduces standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive embedded systems. |
| Input Leakage Current | ±0.1µA max at VCC = 6V - minimizes false triggering from floating inputs in high-impedance switch matrix designs. |
Pinout & Package
CD74HC147NSR is supplied in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 9.90mm × 3.90mm, with standard 1.27mm pitch, gull-wing leads, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I4) | Active-low input | Decimal digit 4 input; asserted low to request encoding - part of 9-bit active-low switch matrix interface. |
| 2 (I5) | Active-low input | Decimal digit 5 input; higher priority than I0–I4, lower than I6–I9 - resolves conflicts in multi-key press scenarios. |
| 3 (I6) | Active-low input | Decimal digit 6 input; medium-high priority - used in keypad scan logic where numeric order defines precedence. |
| 4 (I7) | Active-low input | Decimal digit 7 input; high priority - ensures dominant response when multiple keys pressed simultaneously. |
| 5 (I8) | Active-low input | Decimal digit 8 input; second-highest priority - critical for error-free decoding in safety-critical panel interfaces. |
| 6 (Y2) | Active-low output | MSB of 4-bit binary output (Y3Y2Y1Y0); low = '1' - directly connects to microcontroller GPIO or latch enable lines. |
| 7 (Y1) | Active-low output | Second-bit output; complements Y3/Y2/Y0 to form full BCD or binary code - requires external pull-ups for TTL-level interfacing. |
| 8 (GND) | Power ground | Reference return path for all internal logic and I/O - must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance trace. |
| 9 (I0) | Active-low input | Decimal digit 0 input; lowest priority - encodes only when all other inputs (I1–I9) are high; implies "zero" state. |
| 10 (I9) | Active-low input | Decimal digit 9 input; highest priority - dominates all other inputs; used for emergency or override key functions. |
| 11 (I1) | Active-low input | Decimal digit 1 input; priority above I0, below I2–I9 - forms baseline digit selection in rotary encoder emulation. |
| 12 (I2) | Active-low input | Decimal digit 2 input; medium priority - balances responsiveness and conflict resolution in multi-function panels. |
| 13 (I3) | Active-low input | Decimal digit 3 input; priority between I2 and I4 - completes contiguous digit set for 0–9 keypad decoding. |
| 14 (Y3) | Active-low output | LSB of 4-bit binary output; low = '1' - pairs with Y2/Y1/Y0 to deliver encoded value to 74-series or MCU data bus. |
| 15 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected pin - must remain floating; no PCB trace or solder mask opening required. |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | CMOS core and I/O rail; bypass capacitor (0.1µF ceramic) required within 5mm of pin for stable switching performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buffered inputs and outputs | Enables clean signal integrity and reduced crosstalk in dense PCB layouts with multiple encoders sharing routing channels. |
| Balanced propagation delay and transition times | Minimizes skew between Y0–Y3 outputs, preventing metastability during state transitions in synchronous control logic. |
| High noise immunity (30% of VCC) | Guarantees reliable operation in electrically noisy environments such as PLC cabinets or motor drive enclosures. |
| Significant power reduction vs. LSTTL | Lowers thermal load in multi-device encoder arrays - critical for sealed industrial housings with limited airflow. |
| Wide temperature range (-55°C to +125°C) | Supports deployment in under-hood automotive ECUs, downhole oilfield tools, and outdoor telecom infrastructure. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar priority encoding applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC147N | Same HC logic family, identical pinout and truth table; differs in PDIP packaging (N) vs. SOIC (D) - no electrical variation. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy wave-solder assembly; not suitable for surface-mount production. | Select SN74HC147N only when manual assembly or socket-based testing is required; CD74HC147NSR remains optimal for automated SMT lines. |
| CD74HCT147E | HCT variant: 4.5V–5.5V supply only; TTL-compatible inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8V), slightly slower (14ns typ), same SOIC-16 footprint. | Better suited for mixed-logic systems with legacy 74LS devices; less flexible for 3.3V-only designs. | Choose CD74HCT147E when interfacing directly with older TTL peripherals; CD74HC147NSR offers broader voltage range and lower power. |
Compared with SN74HC147N and CD74HCT147E, CD74HC147NSR delivers superior supply flexibility (2V–6V), lowest ICC, and identical functional behavior in SOIC packaging - making it the preferred choice for new industrial and automotive designs requiring scalability and energy efficiency.

FAQ
What is the function of the NC pin on CD74HC147NSR?
The NC (No Connection) pin (Pin 15) on CD74HC147NSR has no internal connection and must remain unconnected on the PCB. It serves solely as a mechanical placeholder in the SOIC-16 package and carries no electrical function; routing traces or applying solder paste to this pin may cause assembly defects or contamination.
Does CD74HC147NSR support 3.3V operation?
Yes, CD74HC147NSR fully supports 3.3V operation within its specified 2V–6V supply range. At VCC = 3.3V, VIH is guaranteed ≥ 2.31V and VIL ≤ 0.99V, providing 0.66V noise margin - sufficient for reliable interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs in industrial applications.
How does CD74HC147NSR handle simultaneous active inputs?
CD74HC147NSR resolves simultaneous low inputs using fixed hardware priority: I9 > I8 > I7 > I6 > I5 > I4 > I3 > I2 > I1 > I0. When multiple inputs are low, only the highest-priority asserted input determines the output code - ensuring deterministic behavior without software arbitration.
Is CD74HC147NSR pin-compatible with the 74LS147?
No, CD74HC147NSR is not pin-compatible with 74LS147. While both perform 10-to-4 priority encoding, 74LS147 uses a 16-pin DIP package with different pin assignments (e.g., outputs on Pins 6, 7, 9, 10 vs. CD74HC147NSR's Pins 6, 7, 14, 9). Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision.
What bypass capacitor value is recommended for CD74HC147NSR?
A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5mm of Pin 16 (VCC) and Pin 8 (GND) is recommended for CD74HC147NSR. This value suppresses high-frequency switching noise; for systems with significant low-frequency ripple, adding a parallel 1µF tantalum capacitor further stabilizes supply rail integrity.
