Product details
Overview
74HC390PW,112 from Nexperia is a dual 4-bit decade ripple counter IC comprising two independent BCD/bi-quinary counters, each with separate divide-by-2 and divide-by-5 sections, asynchronous master reset inputs (1MR, 2MR), and HIGH-to-LOW edge-triggered clocks (1CP0/1CP1, 2CP0/2CP1); operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports counting configurations up to ÷100, and is used in frequency division and digital timing circuits for industrial control panels and instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC390PW,112 datasheet, 74HC390PW,112 pinout, 74HC390PW,112 application, or 74HC390PW,112 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, TSSOP16 package mapping, BCD/bi-quinary configuration logic, propagation delay specs at 4.5 V and 5 V, and validated alternatives for legacy TTL/CMOS clock tree design.
Technical Context
The device implements two independent 4-bit ripple counters: each consists of a divide-by-2 stage (Q0) cascaded with a divide-by-5 stage (Q1–Q3), enabling BCD (Q0→CP1) or bi-quinary (Q3→CP0) decade operation. Clocks are asynchronous edge-triggered on HIGH-to-LOW transitions, and master resets (1MR, 2MR) override all clock activity to force outputs LOW.
It features CMOS-level input thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V), 16-pin TSSOP package (SOT403-1), -40 °C to +125 °C operating range, and dynamic performance including tpd = 17 ns (nCP0→nQ0) and fmax = 55 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 15 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Dual decade ripple counter with independent ÷2 and ÷5 sections per decade |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - supports industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| Propagation Delay | 17 ns (nCP0→nQ0, VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 15 pF) - defines maximum clock-to-output timing margin |
| Max Clock Frequency | 55 MHz (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 15 pF) - sets upper limit for high-speed frequency division |
| Input Threshold | VIH = 3.15 V min, VIL = 1.35 V max (VCC = 4.5 V) - enables reliable interfacing with TTL logic |
| Power Dissipation | CPD = 20 pF - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT403-1), 16 leads, body width 4.4 mm, lead pitch 0.65 mm, moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 (1CP0, 2CP0) | Divide-by-2 clock input | HIGH-to-LOW edge-triggered; initiates toggle of Q0 output per section |
| 2, 14 (1MR, 2MR) | Asynchronous master reset | Active HIGH; forces all four outputs (Q0–Q3) LOW regardless of clock state |
| 3, 5, 6, 7 (1Q0–1Q3) | First decade outputs | Binary-coded outputs for section 1; Q0 is LSB, Q3 is MSB in BCD mode |
| 4, 12 (1CP1, 2CP1) | Divide-by-5 clock input | HIGH-to-LOW edge-triggered; advances Q1–Q3 when driven by Q0 or Q3 |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for all internal logic and I/O |
| 9–13 (2Q0–2Q3) | Second decade outputs | Independent binary outputs for section 2; supports concurrent dual-counting |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply rail; must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent decade counters | Enables simultaneous BCD timing and frequency division in one IC, reducing board space vs. discrete 74-series solutions |
| Configurable BCD or bi-quinary operation | Supports both standard decade decoding (Q0→CP1) and bi-quinary encoding (Q3→CP0) without external logic |
| Two asynchronous master reset inputs | Allows selective clearing of either decade counter without affecting the other - critical for multi-stage timing sequences |
| CMOS-level input compatibility | VIH = 3.15 V min at 4.5 V supply ensures robust noise margin when interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers and logic families |
| High noise immunity & latch-up protection | Latch-up performance >100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - guarantees reliability in electrically noisy industrial environments |
Applications
| Industrial Control Panels | Digital Instrumentation Displays |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Counting encoder pulses in PLC-based motor control cabinets to track position or speed over multiple decades. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual decade counter provides scalable ÷10, ÷100 division while maintaining synchronous reset across stages. Use Value: Eliminates need for external glue logic between encoder interface and microcontroller, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
Use Scenario: Driving 7-segment LED displays in multimeter or oscilloscope front panels requiring stable BCD output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured in BCD mode with Q0–Q3 feeding display decoder ICs; nMR enables digit zeroing on power-up. Use Value: Delivers deterministic decade rollover timing (tPHL = 18 ns) essential for flicker-free numeric updates at 100 Hz refresh rates. |
| Legacy Equipment Timing Circuits | Frequency Division in Signal Generators |
Use Scenario: Replacing obsolete 74LS390 in retro-computing or test equipment where TTL-compatible inputs are required. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Used as drop-in replacement with identical pinout and function; HCT variant supports direct TTL interfacing. Use Value: Maintains original timing behavior (tpd = 21 ns at 4.5 V) while improving power efficiency and thermal margin over bipolar predecessors. |
Use Scenario: Generating precise sub-harmonics (e.g., 1 MHz → 10 kHz) in benchtop function generators via cascaded ÷10 stages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two counters wired in series (first ÷10, second ÷10) yield exact ÷100 division with minimal jitter accumulation. Use Value: Achieves <1% duty cycle deviation across full temperature range due to matched internal FF propagation characteristics. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar decade counter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT390PW,118 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical pinout, timing, and package | Better suited for mixed-signal systems with legacy 74LS/TTL drivers; same thermal profile and drive strength | Select when interfacing directly with 5 V TTL outputs without level shifters |
| SN74HC390N | DIP-16 package (PDIP), wider body, through-hole mounting; otherwise identical electrical specs | Used in prototyping, educational kits, or legacy PCBs requiring through-hole assembly | Choose only for hand-soldered development or repair of older boards - not for automated SMT production |
Compared with 74HCT390PW,118, the 74HC390PW,112 offers higher noise immunity and lower static current but requires CMOS-level input drive; versus SN74HC390N, it delivers superior thermal performance and board-area savings in modern SMT designs.

FAQ
Can the 74HC390PW,112 operate at 3.3 V?
No. The 74HC390PW,112 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended conditions table. At 3.3 V, VIH exceeds the supply rail, preventing reliable HIGH-level recognition. For 3.3 V systems, consider the 74LVC390 or level-shifting circuitry.
What is the difference between BCD and bi-quinary configuration?
In BCD mode, 1Q0 drives 1CP1 to produce outputs 0–9 in natural binary order (0000–1001). In bi-quinary mode, 1Q3 drives 1CP0, yielding outputs where Q0 toggles every five counts (0000, 0100, 0010, 0110, 0001, 1000, 1100, 1010, 1110, 1001), supporting error-detecting decimal encoders.
Is the master reset synchronous or asynchronous?
The master reset (1MR and 2MR) is fully asynchronous: a HIGH applied to either input immediately forces all associated Q0–Q3 outputs LOW, overriding ongoing clock activity without waiting for the next clock edge - critical for fail-safe system initialization.
Does the 74HC390PW,112 require external pull-up resistors on outputs?
No. Outputs are push-pull CMOS with VOH ≥ 3.98 V and VOL ≤ 0.26 V at 4 mA load, eliminating need for pull-ups in standard 5 V logic interfacing. Pull-ups are only required if driving open-collector inputs or exceeding 4 mA sink/source capability.
