CD4060BE datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD4060BE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD4060BE can handle?
  The CD4060BE can handle clock frequencies up to 1 MHz, but it's recommended to keep it below 500 kHz for reliable operation.
• How do I reset the CD4060BE?
  The CD4060BE has a reset pin (R) that can be pulled low to reset the counter. The reset pin must be held low for at least 2 clock cycles to ensure a proper reset.
• What is the purpose of the MR (Master Reset) pin?
  The MR pin is an asynchronous reset input that resets the counter and all outputs to zero when pulled low. It has priority over the clock input and can be used to reset the counter at any time.
• Can I use the CD4060BE as a frequency divider?
  Yes, the CD4060BE can be used as a frequency divider. The Q4-Q11 outputs can be used to divide the clock frequency by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256.
• What is the power consumption of the CD4060BE?
  The CD4060BE has a typical power consumption of 20 mW at 5V and 10 kHz clock frequency. However, this can vary depending on the clock frequency, supply voltage, and output loading.
