Product details
Overview
74HC390D,652 from Nexperia is a dual 4-bit decade ripple counter IC with two independent divide-by-2 and two divide-by-5 sections, asynchronous master reset inputs (1MR/2MR), HIGH-to-LOW edge-triggered clocks (1CP0/1CP1/2CP0/2CP1), and BCD/bi-quinary configuration capability for frequency division up to ÷100. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) in SO16 package.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC390D,652 datasheet, 74HC390D,652 pinout, 74HC390D,652 application, or 74HC390D,652 equivalent, this device serves as a programmable ripple counter for clock division, digital timing control, and decade counting in embedded instrumentation, industrial logic sequencers, and legacy TTL/CMOS interface systems where precise asynchronous division ratios are required.
Technical Context
The 74HC390D,652 implements two physically separate 4-bit ripple counters - each composed of cascaded flip-flops forming one ÷2 stage and one ÷5 stage - enabling configurable decade counting via external feedback (e.g., 1Q0→2CP1 for BCD or 1Q3→2CP0 for bi-quinary). Its asynchronous master reset (1MR/2MR) overrides all clock activity and forces outputs LOW independently per section.
Each counter section accepts HIGH-to-LOW clock transitions only; no internal synchronization is performed. The device uses standard CMOS logic levels (VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V, VIL = 1.35 V max), includes input clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance, and delivers propagation delays as low as 14 ns (VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF) from clock to Q0 output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Dual decade ripple counter with independent ÷2 and ÷5 sections per decade; supports BCD and bi-quinary modes via external feedback routing. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL and mixed-signal systems; not rated for 3.3 V operation. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial environments without derating. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 55 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V (CL = 15 pF) - enables high-speed division in timing chains before final stage buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | 17 ns (1CP0 → 1Q0, VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) - defines minimum clock period for reliable ripple-stage chaining. |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA (VOH/VOL at VCC = 4.5 V) - sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or directly interface to 74HC-series inputs. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 3.15 V min, VIL = 1.35 V max (VCC = 4.5 V) - CMOS-level thresholds compatible with 5 V logic families. |
Pinout & Package
74HC390D,652 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16, SOT109-1) with 16 leads and 3.9 mm body width. Pin 1 is index-marked; pin 8 is GND; pin 16 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1CP0, 2CP0 | ÷2 section clock input | HIGH-to-LOW edge-triggered; initiates toggle of Q0 output in respective decade counter. |
| 1CP1, 2CP1 | ÷5 section clock input | HIGH-to-LOW edge-triggered; advances Q1–Q3 outputs after Q0 toggles; requires external feedback for decade mode. |
| 1MR, 2MR | Asynchronous master reset | Active-HIGH; forces all four outputs (Q0–Q3) LOW regardless of clock state; resets counter to zero immediately. |
| 1Q0–1Q3, 2Q0–2Q3 | Flip-flop outputs | Binary-coded outputs per decade; Q0 is LSB; used for feedback routing (e.g., 1Q0→2CP1) or system timing signals. |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Positive supply | 4.5–5.5 V DC; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) recommended adjacent to pin for noise immunity. |
| GND (Pin 8) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent decade counters | Two fully isolated 4-bit ripple counters on one die - eliminates board space and interconnect delay vs. discrete ICs. |
| Configurable division ratios | Supports ÷2, ÷4, ÷5, ÷10, ÷20, ÷25, ÷50, and ÷100 via internal section selection and external feedback wiring. |
| Asynchronous reset per section | 1MR and 2MR allow independent zeroing of each decade counter without affecting the other - critical for multi-phase timing alignment. |
| CMOS input compatibility | Clamp diodes + TTL-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds enable robust interfacing to both 5 V CMOS and legacy TTL sources. |
| High noise immunity | Guaranteed 400 mV noise margin at VCC = 4.5 V - suppresses false triggering in electrically noisy industrial enclosures. |
Applications
| Industrial Digital Timer | Legacy System Clock Divider |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: A programmable 100-second countdown timer in a PLC-based packaging machine uses cascaded 74HC390D,652 sections to generate precise 1 s, 10 s, and 100 s intervals from a 100 Hz crystal oscillator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as synchronous decade divider chain - first section divides 100 Hz to 10 Hz (÷10), second divides to 1 Hz (÷10), third to 0.1 Hz (÷10) - with MR pins enabling reset-on-completion. Use Value: Eliminates need for microcontroller-based timing, reducing BOM cost and firmware complexity while maintaining deterministic jitter-free division. |
Use Scenario: A retro computing restoration project replaces failed 7490 counters in a 1970s minicomputer front panel, requiring identical pinout, timing behavior, and BCD output format. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Drop-in functional replacement for obsolete 7490 - configured in BCD mode (Q0→CP1) to replicate decade counting sequence with identical output polarity and reset timing. Use Value: Maintains original system timing integrity and signal compatibility without PCB redesign or firmware modification. |
| Bi-Quinary Counter for Metering | Frequency Synthesis Pre-divider |
Use Scenario: An energy meter uses bi-quinary counting (Q3→CP0) to encode kWh pulses into a 2-out-of-5 coded output for optical isolation and EMI-resistant transmission to a remote display. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Implements bi-quinary decade counter per IEC 62053-21 - Q0 is decade output; Q1–Q3 encode quinary states; MR enables synchronized zero-reset at billing cycle boundaries. Use Value: Provides inherent error detection (exactly two outputs HIGH per count) and reduces EMI susceptibility versus binary encoding in high-noise utility environments. |
Use Scenario: A spectrum analyzer frontend uses 74HC390D,652 to pre-divide a 100 MHz local oscillator signal by 100 before feeding into a PLL phase detector operating at ≤1 MHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage ripple divider - configured as ÷10 × ÷10 cascade - lowers frequency while preserving edge integrity for stable PLL lock. Use Value: Enables use of lower-cost, lower-frequency PLL components without sacrificing resolution or introducing significant jitter accumulation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives

FAQ
Can 74HC390D,652 operate at 3.3 V?
No. The 74HC390D,652 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its Recommended Operating Conditions (Table 6). At 3.3 V, VIH exceeds 70% of VCC, causing unreliable input recognition and potential metastability. Use 74LVC390 or similar 3.3 V–tolerant logic for lower-voltage systems.
What is the maximum fan-out to standard 74HC inputs?
At VCC = 4.5 V, the 74HC390D,652 can drive up to 10 standard 74HC inputs (each drawing ±1 μA) while maintaining VOL < 0.26 V and VOH > 3.98 V. This assumes short PCB traces (<5 cm) and proper decoupling; longer runs require buffer stages due to capacitive loading effects on rise/fall times.
How do I configure it for ÷100 division?
Connect 1Q3 to 2CP0 and 2Q0 to 1CP1, then apply input clock to 1CP0. This creates a ÷10 × ÷10 cascade: first decade (1CP0→1Q0–1Q3) feeds second decade (2CP0→2Q0–2Q3). Both MR pins must be held LOW during operation; assert either MR to reset its respective decade independently.
Does it support synchronous reset?
No. The 74HC390D,652 provides only asynchronous master reset (1MR/2MR), which forces outputs LOW immediately upon HIGH assertion, independent of clock edges. There is no synchronous reset input or internal reset register; external logic (e.g., AND gate on clock and reset) is required for edge-aligned reset behavior.
