Product details
Overview
74HC393BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified dual 4-bit binary ripple counter IC with independent clock and master reset inputs per counter, CMOS-level input compatibility, 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply range, and DHVQFN14 package. It advances on HIGH-to-LOW clock transitions, clears outputs asynchronously via active-HIGH nMR, and delivers buffered Q0–Q3 outputs for frequency division up to 2⁸ in a single package-used in engine control timing, dashboard display multiplexing, and body electronics clock management.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC393BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74HC393BQ-Q100 pinout, 74HC393BQ-Q100 application, or 74HC393BQ-Q100 equivalent, this page provides verified functional architecture, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 thermal and electrical specifications, DHVQFN14 terminal mapping, and validated alternatives for automotive timing and counting circuits requiring ripple-mode operation and dual-channel independence.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent asynchronous 4-stage ripple counters using edge-triggered D-type flip-flops cascaded in series. Each counter advances on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of its dedicated clock (1CP or 2CP), with no internal synchronization between channels. The asynchronous master reset (1MR/2MR) forces all four output bits LOW regardless of clock state, enabling immediate state clearing without waiting for clock edges.
Input clamping diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. The DHVQFN14 package features side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection-critical for automotive production traceability and reliability assurance under -40 °C to +125 °C operating conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-bit binary ripple counter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT393BQ-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), identical pinout and function | Better interoperability with legacy 5 V TTL logic families; slightly higher ICC at VCC = 5 V | Select when interfacing with older microcontrollers or discrete logic with TTL output levels |
| SN74LV393AQPWRQ1 | Lower VCC range (1.65 V–5.5 V), LV-CMOS process, different pin assignment (SO-14 only) | Optimized for low-voltage automotive infotainment; not pin-compatible; lacks side-wettable flanks | Choose for 1.8 V/3.3 V systems where DHVQFN14 footprint is not required and AOI is not mandated |
Compared with 74HC393BQ-Q100, the 74HCT393BQ-Q100 offers direct TTL-level compatibility without level-shifting, while the SN74LV393AQPWRQ1 trades package flexibility and AOI support for lower-voltage operation-making the HC variant optimal for new 5 V automotive designs requiring full AEC-Q100 traceability and manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HC393BQ-Q100?
The 74HC393BQ-Q100 supports a maximum clock frequency of 107 MHz at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 50 pF, as specified in Table 7 of the Rev. 4 datasheet. At 4.5 V, the max frequency drops to 90 MHz. This rating applies per individual counter channel and assumes proper PCB layout with controlled impedance and minimal capacitive loading.
Can the two counters operate synchronously using a shared clock signal?
No-the 74HC393BQ-Q100 does not support synchronous operation between counters. Each counter has its own dedicated clock input (1CP and 2CP), and there is no internal synchronization mechanism. Sharing one clock signal across both inputs results in independent, unsynchronized ripple propagation due to inherent stage-to-stage delays, making it unsuitable for true 8-bit synchronous counting.
Is the VCC pad on the DHVQFN14 package required to be soldered?
No-the VCC pad (terminal 14) is not electrically or mechanically required to be soldered. As stated in Figure 8, "This is not a supply pin. There is no electrical or mechanical requirement to solder the pad." If soldered, it must remain electrically floating or be connected directly to the VCC net-never left as a floating metal plane.
How does the 74HC393BQ-Q100 differ from the standard 74HC393 in automotive contexts?
The 74HC393BQ-Q100 undergoes full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (−40 °C to +125 °C), includes extended reliability testing (HTOL, TC, UHAST), uses automotive-grade wafer lots and assembly sites, and ships with PPAP documentation. Standard 74HC393 variants lack these qualifications and are not approved for automotive safety-critical or under-hood deployment.
