SN74HC4060D

The SN74HC4060D from Texas Instruments is an integrated circuit featuring a 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter and an oscillator section. This device is designed for applications requiring counting or oscillation functions. It supports a wide operating voltage range from 2V to 6V, making it versatile for various power supply requirements.

The counter increments on a high-to-low transition of the clock input (CLKI). A high level on the clear (CLR) input resets the counter to zero and disables the oscillator. The SN74HC4060D is built using the HC technology family and offers standard CMOS input types with push-pull outputs.

This component is housed in a 16-SOIC package, suitable for surface mounting. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Key features include balanced outputs, high speed operation with a typical propagation delay of 14 ns, and the ability to drive up to 10 LSTTL loads. Its low power consumption and low input current make it an efficient choice for many electronic designs.

The oscillator configuration allows for the design of either RC- or crystal-oscillator circuits, adding flexibility for designers. The device is suitable for applications needing precise counting or timing functions, such as frequency division or event counting.
