MC74HC4060AF

Counter Dividers Overview

The MC74HC4060AF is a high-speed CMOS 14-stage binary counter and oscillator fabricated using silicon gate C2MOS technology. It operates within a wide voltage range of 2 V to 6 V, providing symmetrical output impedance with minimum source/sink currents of 4 mA. The device features balanced propagation delays and includes an asynchronous reset function that clears all outputs and disables the internal oscillator when activated. It offers ten divided outputs from stages Q4 through Q14, supporting frequencies up to 65 MHz at 6 V.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Integrates a 14-stage binary ripple counter with an on-chip oscillator capable of RC or crystal configurations.
• Provides ten distinct frequency division outputs available from stages Q4 through Q14.
• Features an asynchronous clear input that resets all counter outputs to low and disables the oscillator.
• Ensures high noise immunity and low power dissipation across the operating voltage range.

Counter Dividers Applications

• Timing circuits requiring precise frequency division
• Clock generation systems utilizing external crystals or RC networks
• Digital counters for event sequencing
• Automotive electronic control modules
