CD4532 8 Bit Priority Encoder IC DIP-16 Package

Description

1. IC Type: The CD4532 is an 8-bit priority encoder IC.
2. Priority Encoder: It is designed to encode an 8-bit binary input into a binary code representing the highest-priority active input.
3. 8-Bit Input: The IC has 8 input pins (A0 to A7) for accepting an 8-bit binary input.
4. DIP-16 Package: The IC is housed in a DIP-16 package, which is a through-hole package style that is commonly used in various electronic circuits.
5. Output Pins: The CD4532 typically has 3 output pins – A, B, and C. These pins represent the binary-encoded output of the highest-priority active input.
6. Priority Logic: Internally, it employs priority logic to determine which input has the highest priority (the most significant bit that is set), and it encodes this information in binary form on the output pins.
7. Applications: Priority encoders are commonly used in digital systems for various applications such as interrupt handling in microcontroller or microprocessor systems, data acquisition, and in selecting one input from multiple inputs based on their priority.
8. Active-Low Inputs: It’s important to check the datasheet for specifics, but many priority encoders have active-low inputs, which means that the inputs are considered “1” when pulled low (connected to ground).
9. Voltage Compatibility: As with any IC, it’s important to check the voltage compatibility of the CD4532 with your application, as it may vary depending on the manufacturer and version.
10. Datasheet: For precise details regarding the electrical characteristics, pin configuration, and usage, you should refer to the datasheet provided by the manufacturer.
