HEF4060BP datasheet by Philips Semiconductors

HEF4060BP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the HEF4060BP?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the HEF4060BP is 3V to 15V, although it can operate up to 20V with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure the oscillator circuit is stable and reliable?
  To ensure a stable and reliable oscillator circuit, make sure to use a high-quality quartz crystal with a suitable load capacitance, and follow the recommended circuit layout and component selection guidelines.
• What is the maximum clock frequency that the HEF4060BP can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency that the HEF4060BP can handle is approximately 10MHz, although this may vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• Can I use the HEF4060BP as a divide-by-N counter?
  Yes, the HEF4060BP can be used as a divide-by-N counter by connecting the Q output of one stage to the clock input of the next stage, and using the reset input to clear the counter.
• How do I handle the reset input to ensure proper operation?
  The reset input should be driven low for at least 10ns to ensure proper reset of the counter. It's also recommended to use a pull-up resistor to prevent unwanted resets.
