What are the key features of CD74HC4060E?

  • 14-stage binary counter with built-in RC/crystal oscillator enabling standalone clock generation without external oscillator IC
  • 10 accessible counter output stages providing frequency division ratios from divide-by-16 up to divide-by-16384
  • High-speed HC CMOS logic family ensuring low power consumption and wide supply voltage range compatibility
  • 16-pin DIP package ideal for breadboard prototyping, hobbyist projects, and through-hole industrial designs

What is CD74HC4060E used for?

The CD74HC4060E is widely used as a frequency divider and clock generator in timing circuits, where its built-in oscillator combined with 14 binary division stages eliminates the need for a separate oscillator IC. It suits microcontroller clock division, real-time clock reference generation, and low-frequency timer applications in consumer electronics and embedded development. The device is also used in educational and prototyping environments due to its through-hole DIP package and straightforward operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many output stages are accessible on the CD74HC4060E?

The CD74HC4060E has a 14-stage binary counter but only 10 of those stages have accessible output pins, providing frequency division ratios of divide-by-16 (Q4) through divide-by-16384 (Q14). This is standard for the 4060 counter family, where stages 1–3 and 11 are not brought out to pins to reduce the required package size.

Does the CD74HC4060E have a built-in oscillator?

Yes, the CD74HC4060E includes an on-chip oscillator that can be configured using an external RC network or a crystal for stable frequency references. By connecting appropriate resistors and capacitors (or a quartz crystal) to the oscillator input pins, the device can generate its own clock without needing a separate oscillator component, simplifying timing circuit design.

What package does the CD74HC4060E use?

The CD74HC4060E uses a 16-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), denoted by the JEDEC code R-PDIP-T16 and the 'E' suffix in the part number. The DIP-16 through-hole package is well-suited for breadboard development, prototyping, and through-hole PCB assembly, making it popular for educational projects and low-volume industrial designs.

What supply voltage range does the CD74HC4060E support?

As part of the HC (High-speed CMOS) logic family, the CD74HC4060E typically operates from 2 V to 6 V supply voltage. This wide range makes it compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V digital systems. At 5 V, it achieves higher switching speeds, while at lower voltages it operates correctly with reduced speed and power consumption.

Is the CD74HC4060E RoHS compliant?

Yes, the CD74HC4060E is RoHS compliant. The Pbfree Code is listed as 'Yes' and the JESD-609 Code is 'e4', confirming it is a lead-free device suitable for use in products requiring compliance with RoHS, REACH, and similar environmental regulations. It can be assembled using standard lead-free solder processes.
