SN74HC4060DR

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74HC4060DR is a 14-stage asynchronous binary counter and oscillator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports a maximum counting rate of 33 MHz at 5 V. The device features an integrated RC oscillator circuit, allowing it to function as a clock source without external timing components. It utilizes negative-edge triggering for its flip-flops and provides outputs from ten internal stages. The component is housed in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package and is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Integrates a built-in RC oscillator circuit for standalone clock generation
• Provides ten distinct output taps from the internal 14-stage binary chain
• Features asynchronous reset functionality for immediate state clearing

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Time-delay generation modules
• Clock signal distribution networks

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and logic family standards. Cross-reference the part number with official distributor catalogs to confirm active status and availability constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip solution combining counting and oscillation is required. It is suitable for designs needing multiple divided clock signals derived from a single input or internal source. Consider the 16-pin SOIC footprint for PCB layout compatibility. Verify that the 33 MHz maximum frequency meets the system timing requirements.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This device belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic products. It is part of the broader 74HC4060 family, which includes variants with different packaging options such as TSSOP and SSOP. The DR suffix specifically denotes the 16-SOIC surface-mount package configuration used in this part number.
