SN74HC4060PW

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74HC4060PW 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 6 V. The device features an internal RC or crystal oscillator configuration, with outputs available from ten stages (Q3 through Q9 and Q11 through Q13). It utilizes negative-edge triggering for the clock input and includes an overriding asynchronous master reset function. The component is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package and is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Integrates a 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter with an onboard oscillator capable of RC or crystal configurations.
• Provides buffered parallel outputs from ten specific counter stages for frequency division applications.
• Features an asynchronous master reset that clears all counter stages and forces outputs low independently of clock conditions.

Counter Dividers Applications

• RC or crystal oscillator circuit design
• Frequency division networks
• Timing and delay generation circuits

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and temperature rating. Ensure the ordering code matches the required tape-and-reel or tube packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any recent product change notices regarding pinout or electrical specifications before finalizing procurement.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-speed 14-bit binary counter with integrated oscillation is required. The HC logic family ensures compatibility with standard CMOS interfaces. Consider the 33 MHz maximum operating speed and the 2 V to 6 V supply range. Verify that the TSSOP-16 package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.
