CD4056B: CD4056BPW VDD & Vih, Vil voltage level

Part Number: CD4056B
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CD74HCT4511

Hi Expert,

Customer has question for VDD and A to D pin, If we use P3V3 for VDD and 1.8V voltage level into A~D pin, do we need level shift for 1.8V transfer to 3.3V?

Regards,

Mark

  • CD4000 devices are optimized for high voltages above 5 V; for voltages below 5 V, there are no guaranteed electrical characteristics. But even if we assume a VIH of 70% of VDD, this would be 2.3 V. You need a level shifter.

    There are no modern devices for this function because nowadays, this is typically implemented in software on the microcontroller.

  • Hi Mark,

    I'm confused by the question a little are you referring to some type of setup like this?

    Also as clemens said the CD4000 family is typically used for higher operating ranges.

    We have a similar device in the CD74HCT4511 that operates better at these lower values.

  • Hi Owen,

    For customer’s request , they need the decoder support 0~F display, so they won’t use CD74HCT4511.

    But they are added level shift in schematic for BCD GPIO (1.8V to 3.3V), please help to check it in page9 as below file.

    There are some questions for CD4056BPW:

    1. There is no pin define in SPEC, what function for Pin1(STORBE), Pin6(DIS.FREQ.IN), PIN7(VEE)

    Regard,

    Mark

  • Hi Mark,

    Pin 1 (Strobe) when high will push the inputs directly to the outputs, but when it goes low it will hold the previously applied output in the display.

    Pin 6 (DIS FEQ IN) when high the output led will be treated as active low however when low the outputs will be active high

    Pin 7 (VEE) Will be the low value of the output  If tied to ground when outputs are low they will be 0V

  • Hi Owen,

    How about the schematic ? do you have any concern on that?

  • Hi Mark,

    I have a worry that the outputs above 9 for the CD4056 are not A-F like in HEX for 10 it's L, for 11 it's H, for 12 it's P, for 13 it's -, and for 15 it's a blanking input. 

    For the schematic Pin 6 needs to be tied high, and unless you have some use for holding an input pin 1 should be tied high. pin 7 should be tied to ground, and everything else looks fine
