Binary Counter /Divider CD4060

The Binary Counter /Divider CD4060 is a CMOS 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter with a built-in oscillator. Add a resistor and capacitor, or a crystal, and the chip generates its own clock and divides it down, with outputs from divide-by-16 up to divide-by-16,384. It is widely used for long delay timers, clock dividers and LED flashers.

Binary Counter /Divider CD4060 Specifications

• Function: 14-stage binary counter/divider with on-chip oscillator
• Oscillator: works with an external RC network or a crystal
• Outputs: Q4 to Q10 and Q12 to Q14 (10 outputs)
• Maximum division: 16,384 at Q14
• Reset: active-high master reset on pin 12
• Supply voltage: 3 V to 18 V
• Pins: 16 (VDD on pin 16, VSS on pin 8)

Binary Counter /Divider CD4060 Applications

• Long delay timers from seconds to hours
• Dividing a 32.768 kHz watch crystal down to 2 Hz for clocks
• Clock and frequency divider stages
• LED flashers, sequencers and alarms
• Digital electronics labs and student projects

What's in the Box

• 1 × CD4060 binary counter/divider IC

Tip: Keep the reset pin (12) tied to ground for normal counting; a high level clears the counter. With a 32.768 kHz crystal, Q14 gives 2 Hz, so add one flip-flop stage if you need a 1 Hz signal.
