CD74HCT4060E datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD74HCT4060E Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD74HCT4060E can handle?
  The CD74HCT4060E can handle clock frequencies up to 30 MHz, but it's recommended to check the timing specifications in the datasheet for specific frequency ranges.
• How do I ensure that the CD74HCT4060E is properly powered and decoupled?
  To ensure proper power and decoupling, use a 5V power supply, add a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND, and consider adding a 10uF electrolytic capacitor for additional filtering.
• What is the maximum output current that the CD74HCT4060E can sink or source?
  The CD74HCT4060E can sink or source up to 6mA per output pin, but it's recommended to check the output current specifications in the datasheet for specific applications.
• How do I reset the CD74HCT4060E counter?
  The CD74HCT4060E has an asynchronous reset input (MR) that can be used to reset the counter to zero. Simply pull the MR pin low to reset the counter.
• Can I use the CD74HCT4060E as a frequency divider?
  Yes, the CD74HCT4060E can be used as a frequency divider by connecting the output of one stage to the input of the next stage. However, be aware of the maximum clock frequency and output loading limitations.
