Product details
Overview
CD4013BF3A from Texas Instruments is a CMOS dual D-type flip-flop IC with independent clock, data, set, and reset inputs per channel, operating across 3 V to 18 V supply range, delivering 16 MHz typical toggle rate at 10 V, and supporting asynchronous set/reset for reliable state control in power sequencing and timing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CD4013BF3A datasheet, CD4013BF3A pinout, CD4013BF3A application, or CD4013BF3A equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated 14-pin CDIP package mapping, confirmed static/dynamic electrical specs (including tPHL/tPLH = 65 ns typ @ 10 V), and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative parts for industrial logic design.
Technical Context
The CD4013BF3A implements two identical, electrically isolated edge-triggered D flip-flops, each responding to the positive-going transition of its dedicated clock input while maintaining independent Q/Q̅ outputs. Its CMOS architecture ensures rail-to-rail output swing, symmetrical drive capability (±1.3 mA min @ VDD = 10 V), and ultra-low quiescent current (0.02 µA typ @ 25°C).
Set and reset functions operate asynchronously with high-level activation, overriding clock and data states without propagation delay dependency. Input protection networks guard against ESD (±2000 V HBM), and operation is specified across –55°C to +125°C ambient temperature with full parametric validation at 5 V, 10 V, and 15 V supply conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 18 V - supports single-supply operation across battery, industrial, and legacy logic rails without level-shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 16 MHz (typ) @ 10 V - enables medium-speed digital control loops and debounce applications up to ~62.5 ns minimum period. |
| Propagation Delay | 65 ns (typ) @ VDD = 10 V - ensures predictable timing margins in synchronous state machines and counters. |
| Output Drive | ±1.3 mA (min) @ VDD = 10 V - sufficient to directly drive TTL loads or multiple CMOS inputs without buffering. |
| Input Leakage | ±0.1 µA (max) @ 125°C - guarantees stable logic levels in high-impedance bias networks over full temperature range. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets standard handling requirements for non-ESD-protected manufacturing environments. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for aerospace, automotive under-hood, and industrial control applications. |
Pinout & Package
CD4013BF3A is supplied in a hermetically sealed 14-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP-J), measuring 19.50 mm × 6.92 mm, with through-hole mounting and SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish. The package is rated for military-grade reliability and operates without derating up to +125°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13 | Q1, Q2 | Non-inverted outputs - provide complementary logic states for latch, toggle, or register feedback paths. |
| 2, 12 | Q̅1, Q̅2 | Inverted outputs - enable direct implementation of JK-like behavior or active-low control signals. |
| 3, 11 | CLOCK1, CLOCK2 | Positive-edge sensitive clock inputs - trigger state transfer only on rising transitions; immune to slow edges per spec. |
| 4, 10 | RESET1, RESET2 | Asynchronous active-high reset - forces Q = 0, Q̅ = 1 regardless of clock or data state. |
| 5, 9 | D1, D2 | Data inputs - sample value at positive clock edge; must meet tS = 10 ns (min) setup time @ VDD = 10 V. |
| 6, 8 | SET1, SET2 | Asynchronous active-high set - forces Q = 1, Q̅ = 0 independently of clock or data. |
| 7 | VSS | Ground reference - all input thresholds and output levels referenced to this node; requires low-impedance connection. |
| 14 | VDD | Power supply - accepts 3–18 V DC; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required adjacent to pin for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Set/Reset | Independent high-level assertion overrides clock/data, enabling immediate state initialization or fault recovery without cycle delay. |
| Wide Supply Range | 3 V to 18 V operation allows direct integration with 3.3 V microcontrollers, 5 V legacy systems, and 12–15 V industrial rails. |
| Symmetrical Output Drive | Matched sourcing/sinking capability (±1.3 mA min @ 10 V) ensures consistent rise/fall times and load tolerance across logic families. |
| Low Power Static Operation | 0.02 µA typical IDD @ 25°C enables multi-decade battery life in always-on monitoring or memory retention circuits. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | VOL ≤ 0.05 V and VOH ≥ VDD − 0.05 V guarantee full logic swing into CMOS/TTL loads without interface degradation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4013BE | Same die, but in plastic PDIP-14 package (19.30 mm × 6.35 mm); RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish; lower thermal resistance (RθJA = 47.1°C/W vs 92.5°C/W). | Preferred for commercial/industrial PCBs where cost, reflow compatibility, and moisture sensitivity are concerns. | Select CD4013BE when RoHS compliance, automated assembly, or lower thermal impedance is required; not suitable for hermetic or high-reliability mil-spec use. |
| MC14013BDR2G | Onsemi variant in SOIC-14; identical AC/DC specs but tighter production tolerances on tPHL/tPLH (±15% vs ±30%); MSL Level-1 rating. | Better suited for high-volume, surface-mount consumer electronics with strict timing budget constraints. | Choose MC14013BDR2G for SMT production lines requiring JEDEC-standard reflow profiles and tighter propagation skew control. |
Compared with CD4013BE and MC14013BDR2G, the CD4013BF3A offers hermetic CDIP packaging for extreme temperature stability and radiation tolerance, making it the sole choice for aerospace, downhole, or long-life military deployments where plastic encapsulation or solder joint reliability is unacceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the CD4013BF3A?
The CD4013BF3A supports a maximum clock input frequency of 16 MHz (typical) at VDD = 10 V, with guaranteed operation up to 8 MHz across the full –55°C to +125°C temperature range. At VDD = 5 V, the minimum guaranteed fCL is 3.5 MHz, and at VDD = 15 V, it rises to 12 MHz. These values are measured under standard test conditions (CL = 50 pF, RL = 20 kΩ, TA = 25°C).
Does the CD4013BF3A require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - all unused inputs on the CD4013BF3A must be tied to either VDD or VSS to prevent floating states that can cause excessive current draw, erratic switching, or latch-up. TI explicitly recommends this in Section 10.1 of the datasheet, citing undefined operational states and potential damage from slow or uncontrolled input transitions.
Can the CD4013BF3A operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes - the CD4013BF3A is fully specified to operate from 3 V to 18 V, including 3.3 V nominal supplies. At VDD = 3.3 V, it delivers valid logic levels (VIL ≤ 1.0 V, VIH ≥ 2.3 V), though maximum clock frequency drops to ~2.5 MHz (extrapolated from 3.5 MHz @ 5 V), and output drive strength reduces proportionally.
What is the purpose of the "F3A" suffix in CD4013BF3A?
The "F3A" suffix identifies a specific CDIP (Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package) variant with SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish, tube packaging (25 units), and military-grade screening per TI's internal qualification standards. It distinguishes this part from other CD4013B variants like CD4013BE (plastic DIP) or CD4013BM (SOIC), confirming hermetic sealing and extended temperature capability.
How does the asynchronous reset function behave during power-up?
During power-up, the CD4013BF3A's asynchronous reset input (pin 4 or 10) remains inactive (logic low) until externally asserted. Because the device has no built-in power-on reset, designers must implement an external RC network or supervisor IC to assert RESET briefly after VDD stabilizes - otherwise, initial Q/Q̅ states are indeterminate and may oscillate until first clock edge.
