HEF4060BT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the HEF4060BT?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the HEF4060BT is 3V to 15V, although it can operate down to 2V with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure that the HEF4060BT oscillator circuit starts up reliably?
  To ensure reliable startup of the oscillator circuit, make sure to use a high-quality quartz crystal with a suitable load capacitance, and ensure that the oscillator pins (pins 1 and 2) are properly decoupled from the power supply.
• Can I use the HEF4060BT as a clock divider only, without using the counter function?
  Yes, you can use the HEF4060BT as a clock divider only by not using the counter output (pins 3-6) and only using the clock output (pin 9).
• How do I handle the reset pin (pin 12) during power-up?
  During power-up, the reset pin (pin 12) should be pulled high to ensure that the device resets properly. A 1kΩ to 10kΩ pull-up resistor is recommended.
• What is the maximum clock frequency that the HEF4060BT can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency that the HEF4060BT can handle is approximately 10MHz, although this may vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
