Thanks, Danko, that is indeed what I was talking about. I have not used a 7474 so I was reluctant to give advice on it.
To drive a relay, if you know the coil current, check the sink capability of the CD 4049 hex inverter when it is running on 12 or 13 volts. All six in parallel might be enough.I am gona buy cd4013 becose 7474 can only uostand an input voltage maximum 7 vdc and my input is 12 so it will fry it and cd4013 i think it can use 15vdc and thats perfec for my aplication beacose i need to power 12v relay ofcorse i will put transistor beacose the chip can't power the relay and for the rest pin i will need the circuit when i powerit to stay off and when senses pulse of 5 vdc than to turn on
Its easyer to put transistor andnot make the circuit more complicated beacose i need space for the pcb that i am gona build itTo drive a relay, if you know the coil current, check the sink capability of the CD 4049 hex inverter when it is running on 12 or 13 volts.

ALSO, be sure to avoid excess V to those CMOS devices. The published limits are true!
Yes thats exactly what i wanted to do with the mosfet and diode parallel on the relay for voltage spikesResume:

OK, and if the relay takes more than about 50mA that is the way to go. BUT using one IC with no extra components is NOT more complicated than using an FET or MOSFET or even a bipolar transistor.Yes thats exactly what i wanted to do with the mosfet and diode parallel on the relay for voltage spikes
I am using a big car relay it draws 800ma its an 80A relay it's realy bigOK, and if the relay takes more than about 50mA that is the way to go. BUT using one IC with no extra components is NOT more complicated than using an FET or MOSFET or even a bipolar transistor.
In that case my suggestion will not work. That is why I added the qualifiers about the relay current. With a relay like that you do need to include protection against inductive spike voltages, but at the same time you need to avoid slowing down the contacts opening to preserve contact life.I am using a big car relay it draws 800ma its an 80A relay it's realy big
I think the parallel diode is enough for voltage spikes and i will put another diode series to the coil and that should be goodIn that case my suggestion will not work.
