Product details
Overview
74LV4060DB,112 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 generation in low-power embedded systems. Used in programmable timers and frequency division circuits requiring stable 14-bit division ratios up to 16384.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV4060DB,112 datasheet, 74LV4060DB,112 pinout, 74LV4060DB,112 application, or 74LV4060DB,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide VCC range (1.0–5.5 V), guaranteed operation down to 1.2 V for DC characteristics, 16-pin SO16 package, and oscillator flexibility supporting both crystal and RC configurations without external logic.
Technical Context
The 74LV4060DB,112 implements a synchronous-free ripple-carry architecture where each stage advances on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of the RS input - either from internal oscillator output or external clock. Its oscillator section supports two modes: RC network (Rt/CTC + Ct/RTC) or parallel-resonant crystal (with bias resistor Rbias and load capacitors C2/C3), with startup reliability ensured by internal clamp diodes and optimized transconductance.
All 14 counter stages are asynchronously cleared by MR, forcing Q3–Q13 LOW regardless of RS state. Input thresholds comply with TTL levels at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, and output drive capability is specified at ±6 mA for VOH/VOL under 3.0 V operation, with propagation delays as low as 6 ns (Qn→Qn+1, VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct interface with 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Counter Stages | 14-stage binary ripple counter - Provides division ratios from 2³ (Q3) to 2¹³ (Q13), i.e., 8 to 8192, plus Q14 implied in timing diagram (16384). |
| Output Count | 10 buffered outputs (Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9, Q11, Q12, Q13) - Eliminates need for external buffers in fan-out-sensitive timing chains. |
| Max Oscillator Frequency | 99 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - Supports high-resolution timing in real-time control loops and clock synthesis. |
| Propagation Delay (Qn→Qn+1) | 6 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V - Ensures minimal skew accumulation across cascaded stages for predictable timing margins. |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - Allows safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC using current-limiting resistors, simplifying mixed-voltage system design. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without external protection components. |
Pinout & Package
74LV4060DB,112 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16), SOT109-1, with 16 leads and 3.9 mm body width. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; the package is lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 (Q11, Q12, Q13) | Counter output | High-impedance buffered outputs delivering divided clock signals with defined VOH/VOL at ±6 mA drive. |
| 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15 (Q9, Q7, Q5, Q4, Q8, Q6, Q3) | Counter output | Seven additional buffered outputs covering all major division ratios from 2³ to 2⁹. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary 0 V return path for all internal logic and oscillator circuitry; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 9 (CTC) | Oscillator capacitor terminal | Connects external timing capacitor (Ct) for RC mode; also serves as crystal load capacitor node in crystal mode. |
| 10 (RTC) | Oscillator resistor terminal | Connects external timing resistor (Rt) in RC mode; functions as crystal feedback node in crystal configuration. |
| 11 (RS) | Reset-synchronized clock input | Accepts external clock or internal oscillator signal; counter advances on HIGH-to-LOW edge; floats when using crystal. |
| 12 (MR) | Asynchronous master reset | Active-HIGH reset that clears all 14 stages immediately, overriding RS and oscillator activity. |
| 16 (VCC) | Power supply | Single-supply rail supporting 1.0–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin for stable oscillator operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC operation | Functional from 1.0 V (logic levels GND/VCC) with DC specs guaranteed from 1.2 V - enables ultra-low-power battery-operated timers. |
| Dual oscillator support | Configurable RC or crystal topology via same pins (RS/RTC/CTC) - reduces BOM count and PCB footprint vs. discrete oscillator + counter solutions. |
| Input voltage tolerance | TTL-compatible inputs at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V - allows direct connection to legacy microcontroller GPIOs without level translation. |
| Output drive strength | ±6 mA output current at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive multiple 74LVC inputs or small LED indicators without external drivers. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 40 pF - enables sub-μW/MHz dynamic power consumption at 1.8 V, critical for energy-harvesting applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-stage binary counter with oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4060BE | CMOS process, 3–15 V supply, slower max frequency (12 MHz @ 10 V), no TTL-level compatibility | Requires higher VCC for reliable operation; unsuitable for 1.8 V or 2.5 V systems | Select only if legacy 5 V/12 V designs require pin-for-pin replacement and speed < 12 MHz suffices. |
| SN74LV4060D | Identical electrical specs and pinout; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (no functional difference) | No application impact - fully interchangeable in circuit design and layout | Preferred for automated SMT assembly due to standard reel packaging; identical performance and qualification. |
Compared with CD4060BE and SN74LV4060D, the 74LV4060DB,112 uniquely supports operation down to 1.0 V while maintaining TTL compatibility at 3.3 V, offers 99 MHz max frequency, and uses the same SO16 footprint as both alternatives - making it the optimal choice for modern low-voltage, high-speed timing applications.

FAQ
Can the 74LV4060DB,112 operate with a 1.2 V supply?
Yes - the device is fully functional at 1.2 V, with logic levels defined as GND and VCC. DC electrical characteristics (VIH/VIL, VOH/VOL) are guaranteed from 1.2 V to 5.5 V, and oscillator operation is verified down to 1.2 V per datasheet Section 9. This makes it suitable for ultra-low-power applications such as coin-cell-powered timers.
What happens to the oscillator pins (RTC and CTC) when using an external clock on RS?
When an external clock drives the RS pin, RTC and CTC must be left floating - not tied to VCC, GND, or any other node. The internal oscillator circuitry is disabled in this mode, and connecting RTC/CTC risks unpredictable behavior or increased power consumption. This requirement is explicitly stated in Section 1 of the datasheet.
Is the 74LV4060DB,112 pin-compatible with older 4060 variants like CD4060?
No - although functionally similar, the 74LV4060DB,112 uses a different pinout than CD4060BE. For example, CD4060 has Q4 on pin 3 and Q3 on pin 2, whereas 74LV4060DB,112 places Q11 on pin 1 and Q12 on pin 2. Direct substitution requires PCB redesign; always verify pin mapping against the respective datasheets before replacement.
How does the master reset (MR) interact with ongoing oscillator activity?
The MR input is asynchronous and overrides all internal states: when MR = HIGH, all 14 counter stages clear immediately to zero and all outputs (Q3–Q13) go LOW, regardless of RS state or oscillator running condition. The oscillator continues running during reset but its output is ignored by the counter chain until MR returns LOW.
