74HC4060D,653 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the 74HC4060D can handle?
  The 74HC4060D can handle clock frequencies up to 30 MHz.
• How do I reset the counter?
  The counter can be reset by applying a low pulse to the reset input (RST) pin.
• What is the purpose of the carry-out (CO) pin?
  The carry-out (CO) pin is used to cascade multiple counters. When the counter overflows, the CO pin goes high, indicating that the counter has overflowed.
• Can I use the 74HC4060D as a frequency divider?
  Yes, the 74HC4060D can be used as a frequency divider by connecting the clock input to the clock output of a previous stage, and using the divided clock output as the input to the next stage.
• How do I ensure that the counter starts counting from zero?
  To ensure that the counter starts counting from zero, apply a low pulse to the reset input (RST) pin before applying the clock signal.
