Product details
Overview
74HCT393D-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified dual 4-bit binary ripple counter IC with TTL-compatible inputs, asynchronous master reset per counter, and SO14 (SOT108-1) package. It advances on HIGH-to-LOW clock edges, delivers up to 48 MHz max clock frequency at VCC = 4.5 V, features ±25 mA output drive, and operates across -40 °C to +125 °C for engine control timing and body electronics counting functions.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT393D-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT393D-Q100 pinout, 74HCT393D-Q100 application, or 74HCT393D-Q100 equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in-ready, AEC-Q100 Grade 1–qualified binary divider for automotive clock domain partitioning, pulse width measurement, and event counting where deterministic ripple propagation and independent reset control are required.
Technical Context
This dual counter implements two independent 4-stage asynchronous (ripple) chains using edge-triggered D-type flip-flops. Each counter advances on the falling edge of its dedicated clock input (1CP/2CP), with no internal synchronization between stages - resulting in cumulative propagation delay across Q0→Q1→Q2→Q3.
Each counter has a dedicated active-HIGH asynchronous master reset (1MR/2MR) that forces all four outputs LOW regardless of clock state. Input clamp diodes enable safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
Key Specifications

| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V automotive logic rails |
| Max Clock Frequency | 48 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - supports high-speed event counting in powertrain modules |
| Propagation Delay (nCP → nQ0) | 25 ns typical at VCC = 4.5 V - defines minimum clock period for reliable stage advancement |
| Output Drive Strength | ±4 mA at VOH/VOL - sufficient to drive standard CMOS/TTL loads without buffering |

Pinout & Package
74HCT393D-Q100 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1CP | Falling-edge clock input for Counter 1 - triggers Q0 toggle and initiates ripple chain |
| 2 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V) - powers both counters and output buffers |
| 3 | 1MR | Asynchronous master reset for Counter 1 - clears Q0–Q3 to LOW immediately |
| 4 | 2CP | Falling-edge clock input for Counter 2 - fully independent of Counter 1 timing |
| 5 | 1Q0 | LSB output of Counter 1 - toggles on every 1CP falling edge |
| 6 | 2MR | Asynchronous master reset for Counter 2 - no effect on Counter 1 outputs |
| 7 | 1Q1 | Second-bit output of Counter 1 - toggles every two 1CP cycles |
| 8 | 2Q0 | LSB output of Counter 2 - independent timing domain from Counter 1 |
| 9 | 1Q2 | Third-bit output of Counter 1 - divides 1CP by 4 |
| 10 | 2Q1 | Second-bit output of Counter 2 - divides 2CP by 2 |
| 11 | 1Q3 | MSB output of Counter 1 - completes 4-bit modulo-16 count (0–15) |
| 12 | 2Q2 | Third-bit output of Counter 2 - divides 2CP by 4 |
| 13 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - return path for all internal logic and I/O currents |
| 14 | 2Q3 | MSB output of Counter 2 - completes independent 4-bit modulo-16 count |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-level input compatibility | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - interfaces directly with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and sensors |
| Independent dual-counter architecture | Two isolated 4-bit ripple chains with separate clocks and resets - enables concurrent timing of unrelated events (e.g., crankshaft + camshaft pulses) |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance - validated for life-critical automotive subsystems including ADAS sensor synchronization |
| High noise immunity | CMOS process with hysteresis-free inputs and >40 % noise margin - robust against EMI in vehicle harness environments |
| Clamp diode protection | Input clamp diodes allow safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V - eliminates need for external clamping in mixed-voltage domains |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual binary counter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC393D-Q100 | CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V); higher noise margin but requires ≥3.15 V logic high | Better suited for pure CMOS systems; incompatible with 3.3 V-tolerant 5 V microcontrollers driving low VIH | Select when interfacing with HC-family logic or when maximum noise immunity is prioritized over TTL compatibility |
| SN74LV393AQPWRQ1 | Lower VCC range (2.0–5.5 V); LV logic thresholds; 32 MHz max fCLK at VCC = 4.5 V; same SO14 package | Optimized for mixed-voltage designs; lower power but reduced speed margin for high-RPM engine sensing | Choose for battery-powered modules or when supply voltage may dip below 4.5 V while maintaining AEC-Q100 Grade 1 |
Compared with 74HC393D-Q100 and SN74LV393AQPWRQ1, the 74HCT393D-Q100 uniquely balances TTL input compatibility, 48 MHz speed headroom, and full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification - making it the optimal choice for 5 V automotive timing where legacy interface support and worst-case thermal performance are mandatory.

FAQ
Is the 74HCT393D-Q100 pin-compatible with standard 74HCT393 devices?
Yes - the 74HCT393D-Q100 shares identical SO14 pinout, electrical characteristics, and functional behavior with industrial-grade 74HCT393, but adds AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, extended temperature operation (-40 °C to +125 °C), and automotive-specific reliability testing per JESD22 and AEC standards.
Can both counters operate simultaneously from the same clock source?
Yes - 1CP and 2CP can be tied together externally to drive both counters synchronously, though their ripple propagation delays remain independent. This configuration enables 8-bit counting (modulo-256) with cascaded carry-out capability using Q3 outputs as secondary clocks.
What is the maximum allowable clock duty cycle asymmetry?
The device specifies minimum pulse widths: tW(nCP) = 19 ns HIGH and 19 ns LOW at VCC = 4.5 V. Asymmetry is permitted as long as both HIGH and LOW periods meet or exceed these values - no strict 50/50 requirement, enabling use with non-square wave sensors like VR pickups.
Does the 74HCT393D-Q100 support hot insertion or live-state reset?
No - the device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Applying VCC while inputs are driven violates Absolute Maximum Ratings (VIIK limit ±20 mA). Master reset (1MR/2MR) is asynchronous and functional only after VCC stabilizes within 4.5–5.5 V; asserting reset before power-up may cause undefined output states.
