ON Semiconductor/Fairchild MC14013BCP CD4013BE CD4013B CD4013 CMOS Dual D-Type Flip Flop DIP-14 Breadboard-Friendly (1 Piece)

Description

Product Overview

The ON Semiconductor MC14013BCP is a high‑performance CMOS dual D‑type flip‑flop packaged in a breadboard‑friendly DIP‑14 form factor. Designed for engineers, hobbyists, and educators, this component delivers reliable static operation, meaning the stored logic state remains unchanged without continuous clocking, which simplifies circuit design and reduces power consumption. Each input is protected by integrated diodes, safeguarding the device against voltage spikes and ensuring robust operation in noisy environments. The part operates across a broad supply voltage range of 3 V to 18 V, making it compatible with both low‑voltage microcontroller systems and higher‑voltage industrial logic families. Its pin‑for‑pin compatibility with the classic CD4013B allows seamless substitution in existing designs, while the dual flip‑flop architecture provides two independent storage elements in a single package, reducing board space and component count. The device can drive two low‑power TTL loads or one low‑power Schottky TTL load, delivering sufficient current for a variety of downstream logic gates and interfacing circuits. With a temperature rating that spans the full industrial range, the MC14013BCP is suited for applications that demand durability and long‑term reliability.

Usage

In practical applications, the MC14013BCP excels in timing, sequencing, and state‑holding circuits. Designers often employ it in edge‑triggered registers, frequency dividers, and pulse‑width modulation generators where precise control of logic transitions is essential. Its ability to retain state indefinitely makes it ideal for memory‑type functions in digital control systems, such as latch circuits that maintain a command until a new clock pulse arrives. The wide supply voltage range enables use in battery‑powered portable devices as well as in mains‑connected industrial controllers. Because the inputs are diode‑protected, the flip‑flop can be directly interfaced with sensors and switches that may generate transient voltages, reducing the need for additional protective components. The DIP‑14 package is especially convenient for prototyping on breadboards and for educational labs where students can quickly assemble and test logic circuits without soldering. Moreover, the device’s compatibility with both TTL and Schottky TTL loads ensures it can drive a broad spectrum of downstream logic families, from classic 74 series gates to modern low‑power CMOS families.
