CD4013BEE4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD4013BEE4 is a dual D-type flip-flop logic integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 14-DIP package. This component is designed for digital logic applications requiring edge-triggered flip-flop functionality with complementary outputs. The CD4013BEE4 is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CD4013BEE4 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Parameters:

• D-Type flip-flop architecture with dual elements
• Complementary output configuration
• Positive edge trigger functionality
• Supply voltage range: 3V ~ 18V
• Maximum propagation delay: 90ns @ 15V, 50pF
• Input capacitance: 5 pF

Mechanical Parameters:

• 14-DIP package form factor (0.300", 7.62mm)
• Through-hole mounting compatibility

Operational Parameters:

• Operating temperature range compatibility
• Clock frequency capability

Substitutes must maintain electrical equivalence across these parameters while accommodating minor variations in quiescent current, output current ratings, and temperature operating ranges, provided the substitute meets or exceeds the original specification requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD4013BE (Texas Instruments): This substitute is the primary equivalent for the CD4013BEE4. Both parts are manufactured by Texas Instruments, share identical electrical specifications, and maintain the same operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C. The CD4013BE is currently in active production status with high inventory availability (55,300 pcs), ensuring supply continuity. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The CD4013BE is the direct functional replacement with no performance trade-offs.

TC4013BP(N,F) (Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage): This substitute provides functional equivalence with the following considerations: The TC4013BP(N,F) maintains identical D-type flip-flop architecture, complementary output configuration, and propagation delay specifications. However, the operating temperature range is narrower (-40°C ~ 85°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C), making it unsuitable for applications requiring the full extended temperature range of the original part. Output current is reduced (3.4mA versus 6.8mA), and quiescent current is elevated (120 µA versus 4 µA). Clock frequency is rated at 20 MHz versus 24 MHz. The TC4013BP(N,F) is suitable for applications operating within the -40°C ~ 85°C range where reduced output current and higher quiescent current are acceptable. This part is currently in active production with 3,126 pcs in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CD4013BE directly replace the CD4013BEE4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CD4013BE is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the CD4013BEE4. Both parts share identical specifications for clock frequency, propagation delay, supply voltage range, operating temperature range, and package form factor. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What are the limitations of using TC4013BP(N,F) as a substitute?

A: The TC4013BP(N,F) has three key limitations: (1) Operating temperature range is restricted to -40°C ~ 85°C, making it incompatible with applications requiring -55°C operation; (2) Output current is reduced to 3.4mA per output versus 6.8mA, which may impact drive capability in certain load conditions; (3) Quiescent current is elevated to 120 µA versus 4 µA, affecting power consumption in low-power applications. Clock frequency is also reduced to 20 MHz. Use this substitute only when application requirements fall within these reduced specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both CD4013BE and TC4013BP(N,F) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original CD4013BEE4.

Q: What is the difference between CD4013BEE4 and CD4013BE packaging?

A: The CD4013BEE4 is supplied in individual packaging, while the CD4013BE is supplied in tube packaging. Both use the same 14-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) form factor and are through-hole mounted. Tube packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: The CD4013BE is the recommended substitute for new designs. It provides complete electrical and thermal equivalence to the CD4013BEE4 with active production status and superior inventory availability. The TC4013BP(N,F) should be selected only when design constraints specifically allow the reduced operating temperature range and modified electrical characteristics.
