CD4508 belongs to the 4000 Series CMOS Logic Family of Integrated Circuits (IC’s) constructed with N- and P-channel enhancement mode transistors. CD4508 has a Dual 4-bit latch with three-state outputs
CD4508 has a supply voltage range of 5V to 20V, which is much higher than any contemporary logic family. It has buffered output which improves transfer characteristics by providing very high gain. All inputs are protected against static discharge with diodes to VDD and VSS.

CD4508 Features
- Two independent 4-bit latches
- Individual master reset for each 4-bit latch
- 3-state outputs with high-impedance state for bus line applications
- Medium-speed operation: tpHL = tPLH 70 ns
- (typ.) at VpD 10 V and CL= 50 pF
- Standard Symmetrical Output Characteristics
- 100% Tested for Maximum Quiescent Current at 20V
- 5V, 10V, and 15V Parametric Ratings
- Maximum Input Current of 1μA at 18V Over Full Package Temperature Range; 100nA at 18V and +25oC
- Noise Margin (Over Full Package Temperature Range):
- 1V at VDD = 5V
- 2V at VDD = 10V
- 2.5V at VDD = 15V
