STMicroelectronics HCF4013YM013TR

Overview

HCF4013YM013TR from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade dual D-type flip-flop IC in SO14 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 - used in automotive timing synchronization and industrial counter circuits.

For engineers reviewing the HCF4013YM013TR datasheet, HCF4013YM013TR pinout, HCF4013YM013TR application, or HCF4013YM013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, ±100 nA max input leakage at 18 V, 90 ns max propagation delay at 15 V, symmetrical output drive (±2.4 mA), and SO14 automotive-grade packaging.

Technical Context

The HCF4013YM013TR implements two independent edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with asynchronous active-high SET and RESET inputs, where data transfer occurs on the positive-going clock transition. Each section features buffered Q and Q̅ outputs with matched rise/fall times.

It operates across -40 °C to +125 °C using CMOS technology, supports wide VDD range (3–20 V), and delivers rail-to-rail output swing with noise margins of 2.5 V min at 15 V - enabling direct interfacing with legacy TTL and modern logic families without level-shifting.

FAQ

Is HCF4013YM013TR pin-compatible with CD4013BE?

Yes - both use identical SO14 and PDIP14 pinouts per JEDEC MS-012 and MO-153 standards. Pin functions (CLOCK, D, SET, RESET, Q, Q̅, VDD, VSS) match exactly. However, HCF4013YM013TR's SO14 variant replaces CD4013BE's PDIP14, so PCB layout differs. No logic or timing revalidation is needed for functional replacement in existing designs.

What is the minimum clock pulse width requirement for reliable operation?

At VDD = 15 V, the minimum clock pulse width is 20 ns (high or low time). At VDD = 10 V, it is 30 ns; at VDD = 5 V, it is 70 ns. These values derive from tW specifications in Table 7 of the datasheet and ensure proper internal master-slave latching. Shorter pulses risk metastability or skipped transitions.

Does HCF4013YM013TR support 3.3 V logic interfaces?

Yes - it operates down to 3 V VDD and specifies VIH = 1.5 V (min) at VDD = 5 V, scaling proportionally. At 3.3 V supply, VIH ≈ 1.0 V and VIL ≈ 0.7 V, making it compatible with 3.3 V CMOS outputs. However, output VOH will be ~3.2 V, requiring level translation for 5 V-tolerant receivers.

How does the AEC-Q100 qualification impact reliability testing?

HCF4013YM013TR undergoes stress tests including temperature cycling (-40 °C to +125 °C, 1000 cycles), high-temperature operating life (1000 hrs at 125 °C), and ESD validation per AEC-Q100-002 (HBM 2 kV) and AEC-Q100-005 (CDM 1 kV). This ensures >10-year field reliability in automotive under-hood applications.
