Product Introduction:CD4060BE Product Introduction

The CD4060BE from Texas Instruments combines a CMOS oscillator and a 14-stage binary ripple counter in a single 16-pin DIP package. The oscillator section can be configured as an RC oscillator (using 2 resistors and 1 capacitor) or a crystal oscillator (using 1 crystal, 2 capacitors, and 1 resistor), generating the clock internally. The 14 counter stages divide the oscillator frequency by 2^4 through 2^14 (16 to 16384). Only 10 of the 14 stages have accessible outputs: Q4-Q14. Q1, Q2, and Q3 are internal-only, which means the lowest division ratio available at a pin is divide-by-16 (Q4). The asynchronous reset (MR, pin 12) clears all counter stages and disables the oscillator when HIGH. When MR returns LOW, counting resumes from zero. The Schmitt trigger on the clock input allows unlimited rise and fall times on the clock signal. The CD4060 is the go-to IC for generating long time delays: a 32.768kHz crystal divided by 2^14 (Q14) produces exactly 2Hz; with an additional flip-flop (CD4013), a precise 1Hz clock is obtained. The BE suffix denotes the PDIP-16 package.

Working Principle:CD4060BE Working Principle

The CD4060BE consists of two functional blocks: (1) An oscillator section built around two inverters (pins 9, 10, 11) that can be configured as RC or crystal oscillator. For RC mode: R and C connect between pins 10 and 11, with R from pin 11 to pin 9 and C from pin 10 to pin 9. Frequency ≈ 1/(2.2·R·C). For crystal mode: crystal between pins 10 and 11; capacitors from each pin to ground; feedback resistor from pin 9 to 10. (2) A 14-stage binary ripple counter driven by the oscillator output. Each stage divides by 2. The counter advances on the negative-going transition of the clock. The 14 stages provide division ratios of 2^1 through 2^14, but only Q4 through Q14 have external pins. The missing Q1, Q2, Q3 outputs mean the lowest available output is Q4 (divide by 16). The reset input (MR=HIGH) forces all outputs LOW and stops the oscillator. When MR goes LOW, the oscillator restarts and counting resumes from zero. The Q4-Q14 outputs can be used individually for various frequency divisions or cascaded to other counters for longer counts.

1Hz Clock from 32.768kHz Crystal: 32.768kHz crystal on pins 10-11; Q14 = 2Hz; CD4013 flip-flop divides by 2 = 1Hz; drives digital clock seconds
RC Timer: R=1MΩ, C=10µF → f≈0.045Hz; Q14 period ≈ 16384/0.045 ≈ 364,000s ≈ 101 hours; long time delay with only 3 external components

CD4060 is the CMOS 4000-series 14-stage ripple-carry counter/oscillator operating over the wide 3-18V supply range. The HEF4060 (NXP) and MC144060 (onsemi) are direct pin-compatible equivalents. For higher speed at the cost of narrower voltage range, the 74HC4060 HC/HCT families offer significantly faster propagation delay and lower power consumption at 2-6V. Surface-mount versions use the BM/M suffix (SOIC); through-hole versions use the BE suffix (DIP).
