Product details
Overview
74HC4060DB,112 from Nexperia is a 14-stage binary ripple counter/divider with integrated RC or crystal oscillator circuitry, featuring asynchronous master reset (MR), 10 buffered outputs (Q3–Q9, Q11–Q13), and oscillator terminals (RS, RTC, CTC). It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, delivers propagation delays as low as 6 ns at VCC = 6.0 V, and supports industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C). It is used in precision timing circuits such as real-time clock prescalers and LED flasher controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC4060DB,112 datasheet, 74HC4060DB,112 pinout, 74HC4060DB,112 application, or 74HC4060DB,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include oscillator configuration flexibility (RC vs. crystal), output stage count (14-bit division up to 2¹⁴), TTL/CMOS input compatibility, and SO16 package thermal performance under continuous duty-cycle timing loads.
Technical Context
The 74HC4060DB,112 implements a synchronous-free ripple-carry architecture where each flip-flop triggers on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of RS, enabling predictable cumulative delay stacking across Q3–Q13. Its oscillator section uses internal Schmitt-trigger inverter with external RTC/CTC components to generate stable clock signals without requiring external logic.
Input clamping diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are applied; MR overrides all counter states asynchronously and forces all outputs LOW regardless of RS or oscillator activity. The device complies with JEDEC JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) standards and meets HBM ESD >2000 V per JS-001 Class 2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems without level translation. |
| Max clock frequency | 95 MHz at VCC = 6.0 V - supports high-speed division for microcontroller clock prescaling. |
| Propagation delay (RS→Q3) | 29 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - defines minimum achievable timing resolution in divider chains. |
| Output drive strength | ±5.2 mA at VCC = 6.0 V - sufficient to directly drive multiple 74HC inputs or small LEDs via series resistor. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| Power dissipation capacitance | 40 pF - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N. |
| Input leakage current | ±0.1 μA max at VCC = 6.0 V - ensures minimal loading on high-impedance oscillator networks. |
Pinout & Package
74HC4060DB,112 is supplied in SO16 (SOT109-1) plastic small outline package: 16-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads. Thermal resistance θJA = 120 K/W (JEDEC standard board).

| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and oscillator current; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 9 (CTC) | Oscillator capacitor terminal | Connects to external timing capacitor in RC or crystal oscillator configurations; high-impedance node. |
| 10 (RTC) | Oscillator resistor terminal | Connects to external timing resistor; internal Schmitt inverter input with hysteresis ~0.4×VCC. |
| 11 (RS) | Master clock input / oscillator output | Accepts external clock or drives crystal/RC network; advances counter on HIGH-to-LOW edge. |
| 12 (MR) | Asynchronous master reset | Active-HIGH signal that clears all 14 stages immediately, overriding RS and oscillator state. |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power rail for all logic and oscillator circuitry; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V operation enables interoperability across legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V systems. |
| Integrated oscillator | Configurable RC or crystal topology eliminates need for external oscillator IC or discrete gate-based oscillators. |
| Asynchronous reset | MR pin forces immediate zero-state reset independent of clock phase or oscillator stability. |
| High noise immunity | CMOS input thresholds (VIH ≥ 70 % VCC, VIL ≤ 30 % VCC) reject transient coupling in noisy industrial environments. |
| Latch-up robustness | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during supply transients or ESD events. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-stage ripple counter with oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC4060D,112 | Same die, SO16 package but without "B" suffix - identical electrical specs and pinout. | No functional difference; "DB" denotes tape-and-reel packaging variant per Nexperia ordering convention. | Select 74HC4060D,112 only if bulk tube or alternate reel format is required; otherwise 74HC4060DB,112 is standard. |
| CD4060BE | Wider VCC range (3 V–18 V), slower speed (max 3 MHz at 10 V), higher propagation delay (>100 ns), no TTL-compatible input option. | Suitable for high-voltage industrial controls but incompatible with 3.3 V systems or high-frequency division. | Choose CD4060BE only for legacy 12 V/15 V designs where HC speed and low-voltage operation are unnecessary. |
Compared with 74HC4060DB,112, the 74HC4060D,112 offers identical functionality in the same package, while CD4060BE trades speed and low-voltage support for extended supply range - making it viable only in high-VCC legacy contexts where timing precision and power efficiency are secondary.

FAQ
Can the 74HC4060DB,112 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
Yes - the 74HC4060DB,112 is fully specified from 2.0 V to 6.0 V. At VCC = 3.3 V, VIH is 2.31 V (min), VIL is 0.99 V (max), and typical propagation delay RS→Q3 is 48 ns. All 10 outputs maintain rail-to-rail swing and ±4 mA drive capability, ensuring compatibility with 3.3 V FPGA and MCU I/O.
What is the recommended crystal configuration for stable 1 Hz output?
Use a 32.768 kHz tuning-fork crystal between RS and RTC pins, with 12 pF load capacitors to GND on both sides and a 2.2 kΩ bias resistor from RTC to VCC. This configuration leverages the internal oscillator inverter's low-power, high-Q resonance mode, achieving ±20 ppm stability over −40 °C to +85 °C without external amplification.
How does the MR pin interact with the oscillator during reset?
MR is asynchronous and overrides all internal states: when asserted HIGH, it forces Q3–Q13 LOW immediately, halts oscillator activity (RS, RTC, CTC become high-impedance), and holds the counter at zero until MR returns LOW. Oscillation resumes only after MR deassertion and one valid RS edge - no re-start delay or initialization sequence is required.
Is the SO16 package (SOT109-1) RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the 74HC4060DB,112 in SO16 (SOT109-1) meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured with 100 % matte tin lead finish. Peak reflow temperature is 260 °C (JEDEC J-STD-020), and moisture sensitivity level is MSL3 - standard handling applies without baking requirement for typical SMT assembly.
