Functional Features

• The MC74HC4060ADG is a binary ripple counter with an integrated oscillator.
• It can be used as a frequency divider or timer in various digital circuits.
• The oscillator frequency is determined by an external resistor and capacitor connected to the OSC pin.
• The counter provides 14 outputs, each representing a different division of the input clock frequency.
• It has a reset input (active low) for clearing the counter to its initial state.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages: - High-speed operation due to CMOS technology. - Versatile use in digital applications. - Compact SOIC package for easy integration. - Wide operating voltage range.

Disadvantages: - Limited maximum clock frequency compared to some other counter ICs. - Requires external components (resistor and capacitor) for oscillator operation.

Working Principles

The MC74HC4060ADG operates based on the principle of binary counting. The oscillator generates clock pulses that drive the counter. Each clock pulse increments the counter value by one. The outputs represent different divisions of the input clock frequency. The counter can be reset to its initial state by applying a low signal to the reset input.
