The MC74HC4060N is a 14-stage binary counter with an on-chip oscillator. This integrated circuit combines a 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter with oscillator circuitry, making it suitable for time delay generation, frequency division, and other timing applications. It's often used in applications where precise timing or frequency division is required.

Applications

• Timers and clocks
• Frequency dividers
• Control circuits
• Sequential control
• Time delay circuits
• Event counters

Features

• High Speed Operation: tPD = 15 ns (typ) at VCC = 5V
• Low Power Dissipation: ICC = 4 μA (max) at TA = 25°C
• High Noise Immunity: VNIH = VNIL = 30 % VCC
• Operating Voltage Range: 2V to 6V
• On-Chip Oscillator Circuitry
• 14-Stage Binary Counter
• Reset Input

Benefits

• Accurate and stable timing due to the on-chip oscillator.
• Flexible frequency division achieved with 14 binary counter stages.
• Reduced component count and board space savings through integration.
• Low power consumption for energy-efficient operation.
• Easy to use with standard logic level inputs and outputs.
• Reliable operation in various environments due to high noise immunity.

The MC74HC4060N integrates an on-chip oscillator, which can be configured using external components (resistor and capacitor) to set the oscillation frequency. The 14-stage binary counter divides this frequency by powers of 2, providing a wide range of output frequencies. A reset input allows for synchronous clearing of the counter. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and is compatible with standard TTL logic levels. The device is available in a through-hole DIP package.
