Product details
Overview
HCF4013BEY from STMicroelectronics is a dual D-type flip-flop IC in PDIP14 package, operating from 3 V to 20 V supply, with 16 MHz typical clock toggle rate at 10 V, static state retention, and independent set/reset control per flip-flop. It is used in shift registers, counters, and toggle circuits in industrial control logic and automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the HCF4013BEY datasheet, HCF4013BEY pinout, HCF4013BEY application, or HCF4013BEY equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage range (3–20 V), propagation delay (45–300 ns depending on VDD), quiescent current (≤600 µA at 20 V), and PDIP14 through-hole compatibility for legacy board designs.
Technical Context
The HCF4013BEY implements two fully independent edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with asynchronous active-high SET and RESET inputs. Each stage transfers the D-input logic level to Q on the positive-going clock edge while retaining state when clock is static high or low.
It uses CMOS technology with symmetrical output drive (±3.2 mA at 5 V), input leakage ≤100 nA at 18 V, and ESD protection rated at 2 kV HBM. Functional operation is guaranteed across -55 °C to +125 °C with absolute max VDD = 22 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 20 V - supports wide-battery and industrial rail designs without external regulation |
| Max Clock Frequency | 16 MHz (typ. at VDD = 10 V) - enables medium-speed synchronous logic in timing-critical control paths |
| Propagation Delay | 45 ns (min) to 300 ns (max) - varies with VDD; defines minimum clock period and setup/hold timing margins |
| Output Drive | ±3.2 mA (IOH/IOL at VDD = 5 V) - sufficient to directly drive TTL loads or multiple CMOS inputs |
| Quiescent Current | ≤600 µA at VDD = 20 V, TA = –55 to +125 °C - ensures low standby power in always-on systems |
| Input Leakage | ≤100 nA at VDD = 18 V, TA = 25 °C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensing or battery-backed latches |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in 14-pin plastic dual in-line (PDIP14) with 2.54 mm lead pitch, 20 mm body width, and through-hole mounting compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13 | Q1, Q2 | True outputs of Flip-Flop 1 and 2 - provide complementary logic states for latch feedback or bus driving |
| 2, 12 | Q1, Q2 | Inverted outputs - enable direct use in toggle or reset-dominant configurations without external inverters |
| 3, 11 | CLOCK1, CLOCK2 | Positive-edge-triggered clock inputs - asynchronous operation allows independent timing domains per flip-flop |
| 4, 10 | RESET1, RESET2 | Asynchronous active-high reset - forces Q = 0 regardless of clock or D state, critical for power-up initialization |
| 5, 9 | D1, D2 | Data inputs - sampled only on rising clock edge; stable setup time ≥15 ns required at VDD = 15 V |
| 6, 8 | SET1, SET2 | Asynchronous active-high set - forces Q = 1 independently of clock, enabling preset functionality in counters |
| 7 | VSS | Negative supply reference - must be connected to system ground; no negative voltage operation supported |
| 14 | VDD | Positive supply input - accepts up to 20 V DC; decoupling capacitor (≥100 nF) recommended at pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Static flip-flop operation | Retains logic state indefinitely with clock held high or low - eliminates need for continuous clocking in hold-mode applications |
| Asynchronous set/reset | Independent active-high SET/RESET per stage - enables deterministic initialization and fault recovery without clock dependency |
| Wide supply range | 3 V to 20 V operation - interoperable with 5 V TTL, 12 V industrial rails, and battery-powered systems |
| 100% quiescent current tested | Guaranteed IDD ≤ 600 µA at 20 V - ensures predictable power budgeting in thermally constrained enclosures |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Input Latching | Automotive Door Lock Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Capturing momentary switch closures from pushbuttons or limit switches in factory automation panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual D-flip-flop acts as edge-synchronized input register, debouncing signals and holding state until controller read cycle. Use Value: Eliminates software debounce overhead and prevents metastability in microcontroller GPIO reads under noisy EMI conditions. | Use Scenario: Managing bi-directional lock/unlock commands from vehicle key fobs and interior switches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Flip-flop stores door lock state; SET/RESET lines interface directly with CAN gateway wake-up signals and local switch inputs. Use Value: Provides fail-safe hardware memory that retains position during microcontroller reset or sleep mode transitions. |
| Legacy Computer Bus Interface | Test Equipment Signal Synchronization |
Use Scenario: Interfacing parallel data buses between vintage CPU boards and modern FPGA-based controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as level-shifting latch to capture 5 V TTL data on rising edge of handshake strobe, isolating timing domains. Use Value: Enables reliable data capture at 7 MHz without requiring high-speed logic families or custom timing generators. | Use Scenario: Aligning asynchronous trigger pulses from multiple sensors before digitization in benchtop test instruments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizes external event signals to internal sampling clock using D-flip-flop as a 2-stage synchronizer. Use Value: Reduces metastability risk by >99.9% compared to single-register sampling, meeting IEC 61000-4-2 immunity requirements. |
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 pinout and function; lower ESD rating (HBM 1 kV vs. 2 kV), wider parametric spread at temperature extremes | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer devices; not qualified for extended temperature or automotive environments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs environmental robustness and long-term reliability requirements |
| MC14013BDR2G | SOIC-14 only; tighter propagation delay variation (±10% vs. ±30%), higher max VDD = 18 V | Preferred for surface-mount production and space-constrained PCBs; lacks PDIP option for prototyping | Choose for automated assembly and improved thermal performance where through-hole is not required |
Compared with CD4013BE and MC14013BDR2G, the HCF4013BEY offers superior high-temperature stability (-55 °C to +125 °C), enhanced ESD resilience, and PDIP14 availability-making it optimal for industrial field equipment and automotive under-hood modules where mechanical serviceability and ruggedness are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by HCF4013BEY at 5 V supply?
The HCF4013BEY supports a maximum clock frequency of 7 MHz (typical) at VDD = 5 V, with propagation delay ranging from 150 ns to 300 ns. This is specified under CL = 50 pF and RL = 200 kΩ load conditions per the official ST datasheet Rev 4, Table 7.
Does HCF4013BEY support negative supply voltages?
No. The HCF4013BEY requires a single positive supply (VDD) referenced to VSS (ground). Absolute maximum ratings specify VDD from –0.5 V to +22 V, but functional operation is only guaranteed with VSS = 0 V and VDD ≥ 3 V. Negative VDD or split-rail operation is not supported.
Can the two flip-flops share the same clock signal?
Yes. Pins 3 (CLOCK1) and 11 (CLOCK2) are electrically isolated but may be tied together externally to synchronize both flip-flops. The datasheet confirms independent operation, and no internal coupling or timing skew penalty is incurred when sharing the clock net.
Is HCF4013BEY RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. Per STMicroelectronics' ECOPACK® documentation and ordering information in the datasheet, the HCF4013BEY in PDIP14 tube packaging meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free, with matte tin lead finish and halogen-free molding compound.
