Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV4060PW,118

Overview

74LV4060PW,118 from Nexperia is a 14-stage binary ripple counter with integrated RC/crystal oscillator, asynchronous master reset (MR), and ten buffered outputs (Q3–Q9, Q11–Q13). It operates from 1.0 V to 5.5 V, supports TTL-level inputs at 2.7–3.6 V, delivers ≤29 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V/15 pF, and functions across –40 °C to +125 °C - used in precision timing circuits for industrial control panels.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV4060PW,118 datasheet, 74LV4060PW,118 pinout, 74LV4060PW,118 application, or 74LV4060PW,118 equivalent, this device serves as a low-voltage, high-stability frequency divider and oscillator interface in embedded timer subsystems where supply flexibility, rail-to-rail output drive, and oscillator configurability are critical selection criteria.

Technical Context

The 74LV4060PW,118 implements a synchronous-cascade 14-bit ripple counter with clock input at RS and asynchronous MR active-low reset. Its oscillator circuit accepts either external crystal (RTC/CTC pins) or RC network (Rt/Ct), enabling configurable frequency generation without external logic. The internal oscillator can be bypassed by applying an external clock directly to RS while leaving RTC and CTC floating.

Each counter stage drives buffered outputs with CMOS-compatible voltage levels and clamped inputs supporting overvoltage tolerance via current-limiting resistors. Output stages deliver VOH ≥2.8 V and VOL ≤0.2 V at VCC = 3.0 V/IO = –6 mA, ensuring robust noise margins in mixed-signal environments.

FAQ

Can the 74LV4060PW,118 operate with a 1.2 V supply?

Yes - the device is fully functional at 1.2 V, with guaranteed DC characteristics and oscillator operation. Propagation delay increases to 180 ns (RS→Q3), and maximum frequency drops to ~19 MHz, but all 14 counter stages, MR functionality, and output drive remain operational per datasheet Section 9.

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

RTC and CTC must be left floating when RS is driven by an external clock. Connecting them to VCC, GND, or other signals may disrupt internal oscillator biasing, cause erratic counter behavior, or increase supply current. The datasheet explicitly requires these pins to be unconnected in external-clock mode (Section 1).

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

MR is asynchronous and overrides all internal oscillator and counter activity. When MR is LOW, all outputs go LOW immediately, oscillator stops, and counter state is cleared - regardless of RS signal state or oscillator configuration. Counter resumes from zero on next RS falling edge after MR returns HIGH.

Is the 74LV4060PW,118 compatible with 5 V TTL logic inputs?

Yes - at VCC = 2.7 V to 3.6 V, the device accepts standard TTL input levels (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V). At VCC = 5.0 V, VIH threshold rises to 0.8 × VCC = 4.0 V, so direct 5 V TTL outputs (VOH ≈ 3.5 V) may not reliably register as HIGH unless pulled up or interfaced via level shifter.
