The Texas Instruments CD4054BM is a 4-segment LCD driver in a 16-SOIC package, designed to drive liquid crystal displays from a single supply rail. It accepts a 3V to 18V supply range, which covers everything from a 3.3V logic rail up to a 12V or 15V industrial bus.
Supply voltage and low-power behaviour
The 3V to 18V supply span is wide enough to let the CD4054BM run on the same rail as a 5V microcontroller, a 12V industrial supply, or a 3.6V lithium cell without a level shifter. The 40 nA supply current is the standby draw — the actual operating current depends on the display loading and clock rate, but the quiescent floor is low enough that the driver will not dominate a battery budget. For a 4-segment numeric or alphanumeric LCD, the CD4054BM provides the segment drive without needing a negative rail or external charge pump.
It is ROHS3 compliant, so no conflict with EU or California regulatory requirements.
