SN74HC4060PWR datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74HC4060PWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN74HC4060PWR can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency of the SN74HC4060PWR is 10 MHz, but it can vary depending on the application and the capacitive load on the clock input.
• How do I ensure that the oscillator circuit starts up reliably?
  To ensure reliable startup, make sure to use a high-quality quartz crystal with a suitable load capacitance, and ensure that the oscillator circuit is properly biased and decoupled.
• What is the purpose of the reset pin (RST) on the SN74HC4060PWR?
  The reset pin (RST) is used to reset the internal counters and oscillators to their initial state. It can be used to synchronize multiple devices or to recover from a fault condition.
• Can I use the SN74HC4060PWR as a clock generator for a microcontroller?
  Yes, the SN74HC4060PWR can be used as a clock generator for a microcontroller. However, ensure that the clock frequency and output drive capability meet the requirements of the microcontroller.
• How do I calculate the frequency of the output clock signals?
  The frequency of the output clock signals can be calculated using the formula: f_OUT = f_IN / (2^n), where f_IN is the input clock frequency and n is the division ratio (1, 2, 4, 8, or 16).
