Product details
Overview
74HCT393PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified dual 4-bit binary ripple counter IC with TTL-compatible inputs, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V across -40 °C to +125 °C. It features two independent asynchronous master reset inputs (1MR, 2MR), two edge-triggered clock inputs (1CP, 2CP), and eight buffered outputs (1Q0–1Q3, 2Q0–2Q3), enabling independent frequency division by powers of two up to 2⁸ in a single TSSOP14 package. Used in automotive body control modules for LED blink timing and sensor pulse counting.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT393PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT393PW-Q100 pinout, 74HCT393PW-Q100 application, or 74HCT393PW-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification status, TTL-level input thresholds, propagation delay at 4.5 V (15–38 ns), and dual-counter isolation behavior - all critical for automotive timing integrity and ECU design validation.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-stage ripple counters using cascaded D-type flip-flops, each advancing on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of its dedicated clock input. The asynchronous master reset (active HIGH) forces all four output bits LOW regardless of clock state, ensuring deterministic initialization without cycle dependency.
Input clamping diodes enable safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Output drive capability is specified at ±4 mA (VOH/VOL) under 4.5 V supply, supporting direct connection to standard CMOS/TTL loads without external buffering.

Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) package: plastic thin shrink small outline, 14 leads, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1CP | First counter clock input - edge-triggered on HIGH-to-LOW transition; initiates ripple through 1Q0–1Q3. |
| 2 | VCC | Positive supply rail - must be decoupled locally; no internal regulation; powers both counters and I/O buffers. |
| 3 | 1MR | First counter master reset - asynchronous, active HIGH; clears 1Q0–1Q3 to LOW independently of 1CP. |
| 4 | 2CP | Second counter clock input - functionally identical to 1CP but electrically isolated; enables dual independent timing domains. |
| 5 | 1Q0 | LSB output of first counter - toggles on every 1CP edge; provides ÷2 division ratio from input clock. |
| 6 | 2MR | Second counter master reset - asynchronous, active HIGH; clears 2Q0–2Q3 without affecting first counter. |
| 7 | 1Q1 | Second bit of first counter - toggles every two 1CP edges; provides ÷4 division ratio. |
| 8 | 2Q0 | LSB output of second counter - independent timing path; supports concurrent frequency division tasks. |
| 9 | 1Q2 | Third bit of first counter - toggles every four 1CP edges; yields ÷8 division ratio. |
| 10 | 2Q1 | Second bit of second counter - enables parallel 4-bit counting with separate reset control. |
| 11 | 1Q3 | MSB output of first counter - toggles every eight 1CP edges; completes ÷16 division. |
| 12 | 2Q2 | Third bit of second counter - supports full 4-bit binary sequence (0–15) for second timing domain. |
| 13 | GND | Ground reference - return path for all internal logic and output currents; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| 14 | 2Q3 | MSB output of second counter - completes independent ÷16 division; enables dual-channel pulse accumulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4-bit ripple counters | Enables two simultaneous binary divisions (e.g., ÷16 and ÷32) without shared clock/reset resources, reducing component count in multi-sensor ECUs. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including thermal cycling, humidity, and vibration stress testing per industry standard. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at 4.5 V supply ensure reliable interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and discrete logic without level shifters. |
| Asynchronous master reset per counter | Allows deterministic zero-initialization of either counter mid-operation - critical for fault recovery in ABS or airbag control timing sequences. |
| Clamp diode-equipped inputs | Permits safe connection to signals exceeding VCC (e.g., 12 V sensor pulses) when used with series current-limiting resistors, eliminating need for external protection. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual binary counter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC393PW-Q100 | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V min at 4.5 V); higher noise margin but incompatible with 3.3 V TTL drivers. | Suitable where system uses pure CMOS logic or higher-voltage microcontrollers; less tolerant of marginal input rise times. | Select when interfacing exclusively with 5 V CMOS sources and maximum noise immunity is required over input compatibility. |
| SN74LV393APWR | 3.3 V only operation (2.0–5.5 V range, but characterized at 3.3 V); lower propagation delay (11 ns typ), non-automotive qualified. | Limited to infotainment or ADAS subsystems outside AEC-Q100 scope; unsuitable for powertrain or chassis control. | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3 V designs where automotive qualification is not mandated and faster timing is prioritized. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74HCT393PW-Q100 at 5 V supply?
At VCC = 4.5 V and CL = 15 pF, the maximum clock frequency is 48 MHz. This value drops to 22 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V with CL = 50 pF due to increased capacitive loading. The device does not guarantee operation above these limits, and timing margins must account for worst-case propagation delay (38 ns) across temperature and voltage extremes.
Can 74HCT393PW-Q100 be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller output?
No - the 74HCT393PW-Q100 requires VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, but its input thresholds are fixed relative to VCC, not the driving source. A 3.3 V GPIO cannot reliably meet VIH when VCC = 5 V (needs ≥2.0 V, but 3.3 V is acceptable); however, VOL from the MCU must stay below 0.8 V, which is typically met. Level-shifting is recommended for guaranteed interoperability.
How does the asynchronous reset affect counter coherency during simultaneous clocking?
Each reset (1MR, 2MR) operates independently and asynchronously - asserting 1MR clears only 1Q0–1Q3 without disturbing 2Q0–2Q3 states or ongoing 2CP activity. This preserves timing integrity in multi-channel systems, such as dual-wheel-speed monitoring where one channel may require fault recovery while the other remains active.
Is the TSSOP14 package (SOT402-1) compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes - the SOT402-1 package features gull-wing leads with defined coplanarity and solder-wetting geometry, enabling reliable AOI detection of solder joint integrity. Unlike QFN variants, no side-wettable flanks are required; standard AOI algorithms recognize lead presence, alignment, and fillet shape per IPC-A-610 Class 3 criteria.
