Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV4060D,118

Overview

74LV4060D,118 from Nexperia is a 14-stage binary ripple counter/divider with integrated RC or crystal oscillator circuitry, operating from 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply. It features asynchronous master reset (MR), 10 buffered outputs (Q3–Q9, Q11–Q13), and oscillator terminals (RS, RTC, CTC) enabling precise timing control in low-power embedded systems. Used in real-time clock division, LED blink timing, and microcontroller peripheral clock scaling.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV4060D,118 datasheet, 74LV4060D,118 pinout, 74LV4060D,118 application, or 74LV4060D,118 equivalent, this device delivers verified 14-bit binary division (÷8192), sub-100 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, and robust ±2000 V HBM ESD protection - critical for industrial timer and frequency divider designs requiring stable low-voltage operation.

Technical Context

The 74LV4060D implements asynchronous ripple-carry counting logic where each stage divides by two, advancing on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of the RS input. Its oscillator section supports both external clock injection (at RS) and self-timed operation via RTC/CTC pins with configurable RC or crystal networks.

Inputs include clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC using current-limiting resistors. The MR pin forces all outputs LOW asynchronously, independent of clock state, ensuring deterministic reset behavior across the full −40 °C to +125 °C temperature range.

FAQ

Can the 74LV4060D,118 operate with a 1.2 V supply?

Yes - the device is fully functional at 1.2 V supply, with guaranteed static and dynamic performance including MR and RS input thresholds, VOH/VOL levels, and propagation delays. DC characteristics are specified from 1.2 V to 5.5 V, and oscillation is supported down to 1.0 V with reduced frequency stability.

What happens if RTC and CTC pins are left unconnected when using an external clock on RS?

When RS is driven by an external clock, RTC and CTC must be left floating (unconnected). Connecting them to VCC, GND, or other signals may disrupt internal oscillator biasing, cause excessive current draw, or induce metastability in the first flip-flop stage - leading to erratic counting or failure to advance.

How does the master reset (MR) interact with the oscillator section?

MR is asynchronous and overrides all internal states: it forces all Q outputs LOW and halts oscillator activity immediately. When MR returns LOW, the oscillator resumes from its natural startup condition - no re-triggering or phase alignment is required, and counting begins on the next RS falling edge.

Is the 74LV4060D,118 compatible with 32.768 kHz tuning-fork crystals?

Yes - the oscillator circuit supports 32.768 kHz crystals via RTC and CTC pins with recommended load capacitance of 22 pF to 37 pF and series resistor R2 ≈ 2.2 kΩ. Startup time is typically < 1 s at 25 °C, and frequency stability meets ±20 ppm over −40 °C to +85 °C when using grade-1 crystals.
