CD4020BF3A

Counter Dividers Overview

The CD4020BF3A is a CMOS 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter and divider manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 18 V and supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C. The device utilizes asynchronous counting with a negative-edge trigger mechanism. It is housed in a 16-lead hermetic dual-in-line ceramic package (CDIP) identified by the F3A suffix, featuring a lead finish of SNPB.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Provides 14-stage binary counting capability for frequency division applications
• Operates reliably across extended industrial and military temperature ranges
• Features hermetically sealed ceramic packaging for environmental protection

Counter Dividers Applications

• Military and defense electronic systems requiring radiation-hardened or high-reliability components
• Industrial control equipment operating in extreme thermal environments
• Avionics and aerospace instrumentation circuits

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific orderable part number matches the required package type and lead finish. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the manufacturer's documentation, noting that this specific ceramic variant may have different regulatory classifications compared to plastic packages. Ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation consistent with military-grade component sourcing requirements.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a hermetically sealed ceramic package is mandatory for reliability. Compare against plastic DIP or surface-mount variants if environmental sealing is not required. Consider the pin count and package dimensions during PCB layout planning to ensure compatibility with existing footprints designed for dual-in-line configurations.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This device belongs to the CD4000B series of CMOS logic integrated circuits. It shares functional similarities with other binary counters in the family but is distinguished by its specific stage count and package options. The F3A suffix specifically denotes the hermetic ceramic construction, differentiating it from standard plastic or small-outline versions.
