HEF4020B

14-stage binary counter

Rev. 11 — 7 December 2021 Product data sheet

1. General description
The HEF4020B is a 14-stage binary ripple counter with a clock input (CP), an overriding
asynchronous master reset input (MR) and 12 buffered parallel outputs (Q0, and Q3 to Q13). The
counter advances on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of CP. A HIGH on MR clears all counter stages
and forces all outputs LOW, independent of the state of CP. Each counter stage is a static toggle
flip-flop. Inputs include clamp diodes. This enables the use of current limiting resistors to interface
inputs to voltages in excess of VDD.

2. Features and benefits

• Wide supply voltage range from 3.0 V to 15.0 V
• CMOS low power dissipation
• High noise immunity
• High speed operation
• Fully static operation
• 5 V, 10 V, and 15 V parametric ratings
• Standardized symmetrical output characteristics
• Complies with JEDEC standard JESD 13-B
• ESD protection:
• HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000 V
• MM JESD22-A115-B exceeds 200 V
• Specified from -40 °C to +85 °C

[1] The typical values of the propagation delay and transition times are calculated from the extrapolation formulas shown (CL in pF).

PD can be calculated from the formulas shown. VSS = 0 V; tr = tf ≤ 20 ns; Tamb = 25 °C.
Symbol Parameter VDD Typical formula for PD (μW) where:
2
PD dynamic power 5 V PD = 600 × fi + ∑(fo × CL) × VDD fi = input frequency in MHz,
dissipation 10 V PD = 2800 × fi + ∑(fo × CL) × VDD
2 fo = output frequency in MHz,
2
CL = output load capacitance in pF,
15 V PD = 8200 × fi + ∑(fo × CL) × VDD VDD = supply voltage in V,
∑(fo × CL) = sum of the outputs.
