74HC4060 14-Stage Binary Ripple Counter with Oscillator | High-Speed CMOS | DIP-16

Description

The 74HC4060 is a high-speed, silicon-gate CMOS 14-Stage Binary Ripple Counter with an integrated oscillator section. The device consists of an oscillator and 14 master-slave flip-flops connected in series. The oscillator allows for easy generation of a clock signal using an external crystal or RC network, making this IC a complete timing solution in a single package.

The counter advances on the negative-going transition of the oscillator output. Because it has 14 stages, it can divide a high-frequency input clock into a much slower output frequency. Note that not all outputs (Q0–Q13) are available; this design omits several early stages to optimize pin count while providing a wide range of division options.
