onsemi MC74HC4060A 14-Stage Binary Ripple Counter

onsemi MC74HC4060A 14-Stage Binary Ripple Counter is a high-performance silicon-gate CMOS device with an integrated oscillator. The device features 14 master-slave flip-flops and an oscillator whose frequency can be controlled by an external crystal or RC circuit.

The onsemi MC74HC4060A is pin-compatible with the standard CMOS MC14060B and supports inputs compatible with standard CMOS outputs. The MC74HC4060A Counter also supports LSTTL output compatibility with pull-up resistors, enabling flexible use in mixed-logic environments.

The counter advances on the negative-going edge of the oscillator input, with each flip-flop output feeding the next stage, so the frequency at each output is half of the previous output. The asynchronous active-high reset disables the oscillator for very low standby power consumption. The MC74HC4060A is available in SOIC-16 and TSSOP-16 package options.
