• Hysteresis voltage typically 0.9 V at VDD = 5 V and 2.3 V at VDD = 10 V
• Noise immunity greater than 50%
• No limit on input rise and fall times
• Standardized, symmetrical output characteristics

PCB mount terminal pin made of tinned brass. This pin fits 0.064” mounting holes and can be swage or solder mounted. The pin diameter is 0.05” and has a total length of 0.25” when mounted. Great for connecting offboard wiring by soldering directly to the pin or using an appropriate connector.

The CD4013B device consists of two identical, independent data-type flip-flops. Each flip-flop has independent data, set, reset, and clock inputs and Q and Q outputs. These devices can be used for shift register applications, and, by connecting Q output to the data input, for counter and toggle applications. The logic level present at the D input is transferred to the Q output during the positive-going transition of the clock pulse.

The CD4053B analog multiplexers are digitally-controlled analog switches having low ON impedance and very low OFF leakage current.
