Product details

Overview

HCF4029M013TR from STMicroelectronics is a presettable 4-bit binary/BCD up/down counter IC with synchronous parallel or ripple clocking, 8 MHz typical operation at 10 V and 50 pF load, ±100 nA input leakage at 18 V, and BCD outputs in decade mode. It serves as a programmable counting engine in digital timing, control sequencing, and frequency division circuits.

For engineers reviewing the HCF4029M013TR datasheet, HCF4029M013TR pinout, HCF4029M013TR application, or HCF4029M013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include binary/decade mode select, asynchronous jam preset capability, carry-in clock enable logic, and supply voltage range up to 20 V for industrial-level robustness.

Technical Context

The HCF4029M013TR implements a fully synchronous 4-stage counter with look-ahead carry in both binary and BCD-decade modes. Its dual-mode operation is controlled by the BINARY/DECADE input (high = binary, low = decade), while UP/DOWN selects count direction. Preset is asynchronous via JAM inputs enabled by PRESET ENABLE.

It supports two clocking topologies: parallel clocking for synchronized multi-chip output response, and ripple clocking tolerant of slow clock rise/fall times. The CARRY-IN signal functions as a clock enable when low, and must be tied to VSS if unused.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Supply Voltage	3–20 V - Enables direct interface with legacy 5 V, 10 V, or 15 V logic systems without level shifters.
Max Clock Frequency	11 MHz (typ. at VDD = 15 V) - Supports high-speed counting in real-time control loops and digital waveform generation.
Propagation Delay (Q)	90–180 ns (VDD = 15 V) - Ensures predictable timing margins in cascaded counter chains and synchronous state machines.
Input Leakage Current	±0.1 µA max at VDD = 18 V - Guarantees reliable static logic levels in battery-powered or high-impedance bias networks.
Output Drive	±2.4 mA (VDD = 15 V) - Sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or small LED indicators without external buffers.
Quiescent Current	0.08 µA typ. at VDD = 20 V - Critical for ultra-low-power standby modes in energy-constrained embedded systems.
Logic Family	B-series CMOS - Fully compliant with JEDEC JESD13B, ensuring interoperability with legacy 4000-series logic families.

Pinout & Package

Package: 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), body width 3.9 mm, pitch 1.27 mm, RoHS-compliant plastic package per mechanical drawing PO13H.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	Preset Enable	Asynchronous control enabling jam-load of Q1–Q4 values; high = accept JAM inputs, low = normal counting.
2, 3, 4, 12, 13	JAM1–JAM4	Individual data inputs for parallel preset; each low (with PE high) forces corresponding Q output low.
5	CARRY IN	Active-low clock enable; low = counter advances on CLOCK edge, high = inhibit count; tie to VSS if unused.
6, 11, 14, 15	Q1–Q4	4-bit counter outputs; BCD-aligned in decade mode, binary-aligned in binary mode.
7	CARRY OUT	Active-high terminal count signal; high when max count reached (UP) or min count reached (DOWN).
9	BINARY/DECADE	Mode select: high = binary (0–15), low = BCD decade (0–9); determines output encoding and wrap behavior.
10	UP/DOWN	Count direction control: high = increment, low = decrement; changes state on next valid clock edge.
15	CLOCK	Positive-edge-triggered master clock; propagation delays referenced to this edge for all timing specs.
8	VSS	Negative supply rail (ground reference); required return path for all internal logic and I/O.
16	VDD	Positive supply rail (3–20 V); powers internal logic and defines logic threshold voltages.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Asynchronous Jam Preset	Loads any 4-bit value into counter independently of clock edge-enables instant state recovery after fault or reset.
Dual-Mode Counting	Single device supports both binary (0–15) and BCD (0–9) sequences via one control pin-reduces BOM count in mixed-format systems.
Look-Ahead Carry	Carry propagation optimized across stages-minimizes cumulative delay in multi-chip counter chains and frequency dividers.
Wide Supply Range	Operates from 3 V to 20 V-eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in mixed-voltage industrial control panels.
Low Input Leakage	≤0.1 µA at 18 V-ensures stable logic states in high-impedance sensor interfaces or long PCB trace applications.

Applications

Industrial Timer Control

Digital Panel Meter Interface

Use Scenario: Programmable on/off cycle timing in PLC-based motor starters with adjustable dwell periods.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary counting element in a cascaded timer chain, driven by a 1 Hz crystal-derived clock with BCD output decoded for 7-segment display.

Use Value: BCD outputs directly drive decoder ICs without translation logic; wide VDD range accommodates 12 V DC control bus power.

Use Scenario: Scaling and digitization of analog sensor readings (e.g., pressure transducer output) in portable test equipment.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Up/down counter synchronizing with ADC conversion pulses to accumulate or subtract calibrated counts representing physical units.

Use Value: Asynchronous jam preset allows zero-reset on demand; low input leakage prevents drift during extended hold intervals.

Frequency Division Circuit

Legacy Instrumentation Sequencer

Use Scenario: Generating sub-harmonic clocks (e.g., divide-by-10 or divide-by-16) from a master oscillator in audio synthesizer modules.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configurable divider core operating in binary or decade mode, with carry-out feeding subsequent stage clock enable.

Use Value: Look-ahead carry ensures minimal skew between stages; 11 MHz max clock supports >100 kHz input frequencies at VDD = 15 V.

Use Scenario: Step-indexed calibration sequence controller in analog multimeters with manual range selection and auto-zero cycles.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: State sequencer managing relay actuation, amplifier gain switching, and ADC sampling windows using jam-preset step jumps.

Use Value: Parallel clocking enables simultaneous update of all outputs-critical for glitch-free transitions between instrument modes.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar presettable up/down counter applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
CD4029BE	Same function, but DIP-16 only; no SOIC variant; slightly higher propagation delay (120 ns typ. at 10 V vs. 100 ns).	Limited to through-hole assembly; less suitable for space-constrained PCBs requiring surface-mount.	Select for prototyping or legacy board rework where DIP footprint is retained.
MC14029BDR2G	Onsemi version with identical pinout and logic; tighter VOH/VOL specs (±0.02 V deviation), but lower max fMAX (9 MHz at 15 V).	Preferred in automotive-grade designs requiring AEC-Q100 qualification; not rated for 125°C operation.	Select when AEC-Q100 compliance is mandatory and 9 MHz clock suffices.

Compared with CD4029BE and MC14029BDR2G, the HCF4029M013TR offers superior high-temperature operation (−55°C to +125°C), SOIC packaging for modern SMT lines, and highest speed (11 MHz) at 15 V-making it optimal for industrial control and instrumentation where thermal margin and density matter.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating voltage for HCF4029M013TR?

The absolute maximum supply voltage is +22 V, but the recommended operating range is 3 V to 20 V. Operation at 20 V is fully characterized for quiescent current, propagation delay, and output drive-enabling direct use with unregulated 18–20 V industrial rails without external regulation.

Can HCF4029M013TR operate in both binary and BCD modes simultaneously?

No-it operates exclusively in one mode at a time, selected by the BINARY/DECADE input pin. When high, it counts 0–15 in pure binary; when low, it counts 0–9 in BCD with automatic rollover and BCD-aligned outputs. Mode switching is dynamic and does not require reset.

How does the CARRY-IN pin function as a clock enable?

When CARRY-IN is low, the counter advances on each positive clock edge; when high, counting is inhibited regardless of clock activity. This enables gated counting, synchronization with external events, or cascade chaining where carry-out of one stage drives carry-in of the next.

Is the HCF4029M013TR pin-compatible with older CD4029 variants?

Yes-pinout and logic function are identical to CD4029BE and MC14029B. The SOIC-16 footprint matches industry-standard SO-16 mechanical dimensions (PO13H), allowing drop-in replacement in new designs and retrofit upgrades where surface-mount is preferred over DIP.
