Product details
Overview
74HC4060BQ,115 from Nexperia is a 14-stage binary ripple counter/divider with integrated RC or crystal oscillator circuitry, operating across 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply. It features 10 buffered outputs (Q3–Q9, Q11–Q13), asynchronous master reset (MR), and oscillator terminals (RS, RTC, CTC) enabling precise timing in low-power embedded control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC4060BQ,115 datasheet, 74HC4060BQ,115 pinout, 74HC4060BQ,115 application, or 74HC4060BQ,115 equivalent, this device serves as a self-contained frequency divider and timer core-ideal for clock tree simplification, LED blinkers, watchdog timeout generation, and microcontroller peripheral extension where external oscillator integration reduces BOM count and layout complexity.
Technical Context
The 74HC4060BQ,115 implements a synchronous-free ripple-carry architecture: each stage divides by two, yielding Q3 = ÷8, Q13 = ÷8192. Oscillation is initiated via internal Schmitt-trigger inverter between RS, RTC, and CTC-supporting both RC networks (Rt = 10 kΩ–1 MΩ, Ct > 50 pF) and parallel-resonant crystals (e.g., 32.768 kHz).
Counter advancement occurs on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of RS; MR forces all outputs LOW asynchronously. Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors-critical for mixed-voltage system integration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Max operating frequency (RS input) | 95 MHz at VCC = 6.0 V - enables high-speed division before lower-frequency outputs (e.g., Q13 @ ~11.6 kHz from 95 MHz). |
| Propagation delay (RS to Q3) | 29 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - ensures predictable timing margin in cascaded divider chains. |
| Output drive strength | ±4.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or CMOS inputs without buffering. |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor-control environments. |
| Power dissipation capacitance (CPD) | 40 pF - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N, critical for battery-powered timer designs. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN16 package (SOT763-1): 2.5 mm × 3.5 mm × 0.85 mm body, 16-terminal no-lead quad flat design with exposed thermal pad (VCC-connected or floating per datasheet note). Pin 1 index area marked on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 (Q11, Q12, Q13) | Divided clock outputs | Provide ÷2048, ÷4096, ÷8192 signals - used for real-time clock scaling or slow-event triggering. |
| 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15 (Q9, Q5, Q4, Q3, Q8, Q7, Q6) | Divided clock outputs | Deliver intermediate division ratios (e.g., Q3 = ÷8, Q6 = ÷64) for multi-rate timing subsystems. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and oscillator currents; must be low-impedance. |
| 9 (CTC) | Oscillator capacitor terminal | Connects external timing capacitor in RC mode; forms resonant node with RTC in crystal mode. |
| 10 (RTC) | Oscillator resistor/feedback terminal | Connects timing resistor (RC) or crystal leg (XTAL); internal Schmitt inverter drives feedback loop. |
| 11 (RS) | External clock input / oscillator output | Accepts external clock (bypassing internal oscillator) or outputs oscillator signal - edge-triggered on HIGH-to-LOW. |
| 12 (MR) | Asynchronous master reset | Active-HIGH signal clears all 14 stages immediately - used for power-on initialization or fault recovery. |
| 16 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Power rail for logic and oscillator; thermal pad may be connected to VCC or left floating per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (2.0–6.0 V) | Eliminates need for dedicated LDOs in multi-rail systems - operates natively from Li-ion (3.7 V), USB (5 V), or legacy 3.3 V supplies. |
| Integrated oscillator with dual RC/crystal support | Reduces external component count by up to 4 parts (vs discrete oscillator + counter) - lowers PCB area and assembly cost. |
| Clamp diode-equipped inputs | Enables robust interfacing to 12 V sensors or industrial I/O without external protection - simplifies level translation. |
| 10 buffered outputs | Prevents fanout degradation across long trace runs - maintains signal integrity for distributed timing distribution. |
| JEDEC-compliant ESD rating | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 requirements for handheld and field-deployable equipment. |
Applications
| LED Blinker Control | Microcontroller Watchdog Timer |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Generating periodic LED flash intervals (e.g., 0.5 Hz, 2 Hz) in battery-powered status indicators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary timing source - Q13 (÷8192) driven from 32.768 kHz crystal delivers precise 4 Hz; further division yields exact blink rates. Use Value: Eliminates software timer overhead and MCU wake-up cycles - extends battery life by >30% vs firmware-based blinking. |
Use Scenario: Providing hardware reset pulse if main MCU fails to refresh within timeout window (e.g., 2 s, 8 s). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone timeout generator - MR triggered by MCU's periodic Q6 (÷64) pulse; missing pulse asserts reset via Q13. Use Value: Guarantees fail-safe recovery independent of MCU firmware state - critical for medical and industrial safety functions. |
| Industrial Motor Start-Delay Circuit | Serial Communication Baud Rate Generator |
|
Use Scenario: Delaying motor contactor engagement for 5–30 s after power-up to prevent inrush current stacking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: RC oscillator-based delay element - Rt = 470 kΩ, Ct = 100 nF sets ≈10 s period at Q12 (÷4096). Use Value: Replaces electromechanical time-delay relays - improves reliability, reduces maintenance, and enables programmable delays via component selection. |
Use Scenario: Deriving UART-compatible baud clocks (e.g., 9600, 19200, 38400 bps) from a single 1.8432 MHz crystal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Frequency divider - Q9 (÷512) from 1.8432 MHz yields 3600 Hz; post-divider logic achieves exact standard rates. Use Value: Avoids dedicated baud-rate generator ICs - cuts BOM cost by $0.15/unit while maintaining ±0.5% accuracy over temperature. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar binary counter/oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT4060BQ,115 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical pinout and function | Better interoperability with legacy 5 V TTL logic; slightly higher ICC at VCC = 4.5 V | Select when interfacing with 74LS/74ALS families or where input noise immunity at 5 V is prioritized over ultra-low power. |
| CD4060BE | CMOS with wider VCC (3–15 V); slower propagation (120 ns @ 5 V); DIP-16 package only | Suitable for high-voltage industrial controls but incompatible with 3.3 V systems and space-constrained layouts | Choose only for legacy repair or high-VCC analog-timing hybrids - not recommended for new 3.3/5 V designs. |
Compared with 74HCT4060BQ,115, the HC version offers lower static current and better 3.3 V compatibility, while CD4060BE trades speed and package modernity for extreme voltage range - making 74HC4060BQ,115 optimal for compact, low-power, mixed-voltage digital timing.

FAQ
Can the 74HC4060BQ,115 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
Yes. The device is fully specified from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, including 3.3 V operation. At VCC = 3.3 V, typical propagation delay (RS to Q3) is 48 ns, VIH = 2.31 V, and VOL ≤ 0.33 V at 4 mA sink - meeting standard 3.3 V CMOS logic thresholds.
What is the minimum external resistor value for reliable RC oscillation?
The datasheet specifies Rt ≥ 1 kΩ to avoid start-up issues, with recommended range 10 kΩ to 1 MΩ. At VCC = 3.3 V, the internal oscillator transistor ON resistance is ~180 Ω, so Rt must exceed this to ensure sufficient gain - 10 kΩ is the practical minimum for stable oscillation.
Is the thermal pad on the DHVQFN16 package electrically connected?
No. Per SOT763-1 datasheet note, the exposed pad has no internal electrical connection. It may be left floating or soldered to VCC for thermal enhancement, but must never be tied to GND or left unconnected with large copper pour - thermal performance improves 15% when connected to VCC plane.
How does the master reset (MR) interact with ongoing oscillator operation?
MR is asynchronous and overrides all internal states: when asserted HIGH, it forces all Q outputs LOW immediately, halts counting, and disables oscillator output at RS - regardless of RTC/CTC voltage or RS edge activity. Oscillation resumes only after MR returns LOW and RS receives next valid HIGH-to-LOW transition.
