STMicroelectronics HCF4060M013TR

Overview

HCF4060M013TR from STMicroelectronics is a 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter/divider with integrated oscillator, fabricated in MOS technology. It operates across 3–20 V supply, delivers up to 24 MHz max clock frequency at 15 V, features Schmitt-trigger clock input, buffered I/O, and common asynchronous RESET. Used in timing control circuits for automotive engine management modules requiring stable division of crystal or RC-derived clocks.

For engineers reviewing the HCF4060M013TR datasheet, HCF4060M013TR pinout, HCF4060M013TR application, or HCF4060M013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its -55/+125 °C operating range, SO16 package compatibility, oscillator configuration flexibility (RC/crystal), quiescent current ≤3 mA at 20 V, and guaranteed reset propagation delay ≤100 ns at 15 V.

Technical Context

The HCF4060 implements a synchronous oscillator section followed by 14 cascaded master-slave flip-flops arranged as a binary counter/divider. Oscillator operation supports both RC networks (e.g., Rx = 50 kΩ, Cx = 200 pF yielding ~21.5 kHz at 10 V) and parallel-resonant crystal configurations. The RESET input is active-high and forces all Q outputs low while disabling oscillator output.

All inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action enabling tolerance to slow or noisy clock edges; outputs are fully buffered CMOS with VOH ≥9.95 V and VOL ≤0.05 V at VDD = 10 V. Propagation delays scale inversely with supply voltage: tPHL(Qn→Qn+1) is 100 ns (typ.) at 15 V and 200 ns (typ.) at 5 V.

FAQ

What oscillator configurations does the HCF4060M013TR support?

The HCF4060M013TR supports both RC and parallel-resonant crystal oscillator configurations. Pins Φ0 and Φ1 accept external resistors and capacitors for RC timing (e.g., 50 kΩ + 200 pF yields ~21.5 kHz at 10 V), or a quartz crystal between Φ0 and Φ1 with load capacitors for stable frequency generation. Schmitt-trigger input on Φ0 ensures reliable startup and noise immunity in either mode.

Can the HCF4060M013TR operate directly from a 12 V automotive battery?

Yes. The HCF4060M013TR is rated for 3–20 V supply and qualified for -55/+125 °C operation, making it suitable for direct connection to unregulated 12 V vehicle electrical systems. Its quiescent current remains ≤600 μA at 15 V and 125 °C, ensuring minimal load during engine-off battery drain scenarios.

Which output pins provide the highest division ratio, and how is reset behavior verified?

Q14 (Pin 3) provides the highest division ratio (2¹⁴ = 16384). RESET (Pin 12) is active-high and asynchronously clears all Q outputs to logic 0 while disabling the oscillator. This behavior is confirmed by Figure 2 (Logic Diagram) and Table 2 (Pin Description) in ST's DocID2055 Rev 6, with propagation delay specified as 50–100 ns at 15 V.

Is the SO16 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?

Yes. The HCF4060M013TR in SO16 packaging carries ST's ECOPACK® designation, indicating full compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and lead-free terminations. Mechanical data in Table 8 (SO16 package) and ECOPACK® environmental statements on st.com confirm this status for the tape-and-reel variant.
