Key Features
- Integrated RC or crystal oscillator eliminates external oscillator IC, reducing BOM count for standalone clock generation or timer circuits
- 14-stage binary counter with 10 output taps divides input clock by 2^4 through 2^14, covering division ratios from 16 to 16384 in one package
- HC CMOS operation from 2 V to 6 V at up to 22 MHz supports battery-powered and 5 V logic system clock distribution
Applications
The SN74HC4060DRE4 is used in real-time clock reference circuits and low-cost timer applications where a 32.768 kHz crystal drives the on-chip oscillator and the Q13 output provides a 4 Hz pulse for second-counting without a dedicated RTC IC. It serves in frequency synthesis and baud rate generation circuits for embedded systems, dividing a master 16 MHz crystal oscillator down to 976 Hz, 488 Hz, or other sub-rates from available output taps. The device is also found in sequential event timing chains for industrial machinery where multiple asynchronous time bases must be derived from a single oscillator reference without additional divider chips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What division ratios are available from the SN74HC4060DRE4 counter output taps?
The SN74HC4060DRE4 provides 10 accessible output taps at stages Q4 through Q13, yielding division ratios of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, and 8192 relative to the oscillator input. This means a 32.768 kHz crystal on the oscillator input produces outputs at 2048 Hz, 1024 Hz, 512 Hz, and down to 4 Hz at Q13.
How is the internal oscillator of SN74HC4060DRE4 configured for RC or crystal operation?
The SN74HC4060DRE4 oscillator uses a feedback inverter with dedicated XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins. For crystal operation, a 32.768 kHz or higher frequency crystal with matching load capacitors of 12 pF to 22 pF connects across these pins. For RC timing, a resistor of 10 kΩ to 1 MΩ and a capacitor of 10 pF to 100 nF set the oscillation frequency, providing a lower-cost option where timing accuracy of ±5% is acceptable.
What is the maximum clock frequency of SN74HC4060DRE4 and at which supply voltage is it achieved?
The SN74HC4060DRE4 reaches its maximum count frequency of 22 MHz when operating at a 6 V supply. At 5 V the typical maximum drops to about 22 MHz, while at 2 V it is derated to approximately 2 MHz. Designs requiring frequencies above 10 MHz should use a 4.5 V to 6 V supply for reliable operation.
How does SN74HC4060DRE4 simplify clock divider designs compared to using a separate oscillator and counter IC?
By integrating both the oscillator inverter stage and the 14-stage binary counter in a single 16-pin SOIC package, SN74HC4060DRE4 eliminates one IC, associated decoupling capacitors, and inter-chip routing compared to a discrete oscillator paired with a 74HC163 4-bit counter. This reduces BOM cost by roughly 1 component per division stage and shrinks board area by approximately 20 mm² per sub-rate output.
