What are the key features of CD4503BPWE4?

  • Hex non-inverting buffer with three-state outputs enabling direct connection to shared data buses without signal contention
  • Wide supply voltage range of 3 V to 15 V allowing compatibility with both legacy 5 V CMOS systems and modern 3.3 V designs
  • Active-low enable input for simple bus control with a single logic line, reducing control overhead in multi-channel designs
  • 50 pF rated load capacitance per channel supporting standard PCB trace driving without external buffering

What is CD4503BPWE4 used for?

CD4503BPWE4 is commonly used as a bus driver or signal buffer in microcontroller expansion circuits, enabling multiple peripherals to share a common data bus with three-state isolation. It also finds use in industrial control panels for driving multiple sensor signal lines from a single control port. The device is well-suited for level translation and fanout buffering in mixed-voltage logic systems operating between 3 V and 15 V.

Frequently Asked Questions

What supply voltage range does CD4503BPWE4 support and how does this affect system compatibility?

CD4503BPWE4 operates from 3 V to 15 V supply voltage, making it compatible with 5 V TTL-level systems, standard 5 V CMOS logic, and modern 3.3 V microcontroller designs. This wide range simplifies integration in mixed-voltage environments without additional level-shifting components.

How does the three-state output of CD4503BPWE4 help when connecting multiple drivers to a shared data bus?

The three-state outputs allow CD4503BPWE4 to disconnect all 6 output channels from the bus when the active-low enable pin is deasserted, presenting a high-impedance state. This prevents bus contention when multiple drivers share the same 8-bit or 16-bit bus, a common requirement in 50 pF loaded bus architectures.

What is the maximum output current that CD4503BPWE4 can sink per channel?

Each output channel can sink up to 23 mA (I_OL = 0.023 A) at the rated supply voltage, providing adequate drive capability for standard CMOS loads and short PCB traces. This current level supports reliable switching of buffered signals at typical propagation delays specified for the 4000-series family.

Is CD4503BPWE4 a suitable drop-in replacement for older ceramic-package 4503B variants in a repair scenario?

CD4503BPWE4 is functionally identical to other CD4503B variants and maintains the same 3 V to 15 V supply range, logic levels, and pin functions as the original 16-pin DIP versions. However, it uses a 16-pin TSSOP surface-mount package, so a PCB adapter or footprint change is needed when replacing through-hole DIP parts in legacy board repairs.
