SN74HC4060DBR datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74HC4060DBR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN74HC4060DBR can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency of the SN74HC4060DBR is 10 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure that the SN74HC4060DBR is properly powered and decoupled?
  To ensure proper power and decoupling, use a 5V power supply, add a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor between VCC and GND, and use a 10uF bulk capacitor between VCC and GND.
• What is the purpose of the reset pin (RST) on the SN74HC4060DBR?
  The reset pin (RST) is used to asynchronously reset the counter and all outputs to their initial state. It is active-low, meaning it is triggered when the pin is pulled low.
• Can I use the SN74HC4060DBR as a frequency divider?
  Yes, the SN74HC4060DBR can be used as a frequency divider. It has a built-in binary counter that can divide the input clock frequency by 2, 4, 8, or 16.
• How do I choose the correct load capacitance for the SN74HC4060DBR?
  The load capacitance depends on the specific application and the clock frequency. A general rule of thumb is to use a load capacitance of 15-30 pF for frequencies up to 10 MHz.
