Texas Instruments CD4076BM96E4

Overview

CD4076BM96E4 from Texas Instruments is a CMOS quad D-type flip-flop with asynchronous reset, operating over 3V–18V supply range, featuring 100nA typical quiescent current at 5V, propagation delay of 120ns (max) at 10V, and fan-out of 50 TTL loads. It serves as edge-triggered storage element in digital control logic, sequence generators, and address latching circuits.

For engineers reviewing the CD4076BM96E4 datasheet, CD4076BM96E4 pinout, CD4076BM96E4 application, or CD4076BM96E4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin SOIC-D package, rail-to-rail input compatibility, non-inverting Q outputs, and operation across extended industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).

Technical Context

The CD4076BM96E4 implements four independent positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops, each with separate asynchronous active-low reset (MR̅) and buffered D input. Clock inputs are Schmitt-triggered to improve noise immunity on slow-rising clock edges.

All outputs drive CMOS and TTL-compatible loads directly; no external pull-ups required. Internal circuitry ensures static operation with zero DC current draw except during switching, enabling ultra-low-power retention in battery-backed systems.

FAQ

What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD4076BM96E4?

The CD4076BM96E4 does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet; instead, timing is defined by minimum pulse width and propagation delay. At V_DD = 10V, the maximum clock frequency is constrained by 120ns propagation delay and 200ns minimum clock pulse width, supporting reliable operation up to approximately 3 MHz in typical configurations. For precise timing analysis, designers must verify setup/hold margins using the published AC electrical characteristics in the SCHS058C datasheet.

Does CD4076BM96E4 support 3.3V logic levels?

Yes, CD4076BM96E4 operates reliably at 3.3V supply (within its 3V–18V range) and accepts 3.3V-tolerant inputs. Its input threshold is V_DD/2 ± 0.5V, so at 3.3V it recognizes >2.15V as logic high-fully compatible with standard 3.3V CMOS outputs. However, output high level will be ~3.3V, not 5V, so interfacing with 5V TTL loads may require level translation depending on noise margin requirements.

Is CD4076BM96E4 pin-compatible with CD4076BE (PDIP package)?

Yes, CD4076BM96E4 and CD4076BE share identical pin functions and numbering per JEDEC standard for 16-pin logic ICs. Both follow the same functional pinout: MR̅ on Pin 8, V_SS on Pin 7, V_DD on Pins 12 and 15, and matched D/CLK/Q assignments across all four sections. Only the package type differs-SOIC-D versus PDIP-so PCB layout must accommodate the SOIC footprint, but no signal routing changes are needed.

What is the meaning of the 'E4' suffix in CD4076BM96E4?

The 'E4' suffix in CD4076BM96E4 indicates a tape-and-reel packaging option with Pb-Free (RoHS-compliant) finish and CU NIPDAU lead termination. It does not denote a functional variant-the electrical specifications, timing, and logic behavior are identical to CD4076BM96. The 'E4' designation aligns with Texas Instruments' packaging nomenclature for green, RoHS-compliant SOIC devices supplied in reels for automated assembly.

Can CD4076BM96E4 be used in automotive applications?

CD4076BM96E4 is not AEC-Q200 qualified and is not recommended for automotive safety-critical systems. While it operates across −40°C to +85°C and tolerates 12V supply transients, TI explicitly states that non-designated products lack automotive qualification. For body electronics or infotainment subsystems, designers must perform full system-level validation and assume full responsibility for reliability; TI provides no automotive-grade warranty or failure rate data for CD4076BM96E4.
