Nexperia USA Inc. HEF4060BT-Q100J

Overview

HEF4060BT-Q100 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter/divider with integrated oscillator circuitry, operating from 3.0 V to 15.0 V supply, delivering buffered Q3–Q9 and Q11–Q13 outputs, and featuring asynchronous master reset (MR) and RC/crystal oscillator configuration via REXT, CEXT, and RS pins - used in automotive body control modules for periodic wake-up timing and LED flash sequencing.

For engineers reviewing the HEF4060BT-Q100 datasheet, HEF4060BT-Q100 pinout, HEF4060BT-Q100 application, or HEF4060BT-Q100 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SO16 pin mapping, automotive-grade thermal and ESD specs, oscillator design constraints, and validated alternatives for timing-critical embedded counters.

Technical Context

The HEF4060BT-Q100 implements a static CMOS ripple-carry architecture with 14 cascaded flip-flops, advancing on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of RS. Its oscillator section supports both RC networks (Rt ≥ 10 kΩ, Ct ≥ 100 pF) and parallel-resonant crystal configurations, with frequency stability ±12% over −40 °C to +85 °C at VDD = 5–15 V.

Inputs include clamp diodes enabling interface to voltages exceeding VDD using current-limiting resistors; outputs exhibit symmetrical VOH/VOL (e.g., VOH ≥ 4.95 V @ VDD = 5 V, VOL ≤ 0.05 V), with propagation delays as low as 50 ns (Qn → Qn+1 @ VDD = 15 V, CL = 50 pF) and fmax up to 30 MHz at 15 V.

FAQ

Can HEF4060BT-Q100 operate with a crystal oscillator?

Yes - the device supports parallel-resonant crystal oscillators connected between RS and CEXT pins, with recommended load capacitance of 22–37 pF and bias resistor (100 kΩ to 1 MΩ) on REXT. Crystal mode eliminates external RC component drift and improves long-term timing accuracy compared to RC configuration.

What is the minimum REXT value for stable RC oscillation at 15 V?

At VDD = 15 V, REXT must exceed the LOCMOS ON-resistance (~200 Ω) to avoid loading effects; the datasheet recommends REXT ≥ 10 kΩ for reliable startup and frequency stability. Values below 10 kΩ risk inconsistent oscillation or failure to start, especially at temperature extremes.

How does the master reset (MR) behave during power-up?

MR is active-HIGH and asynchronous: asserting MR forces all Q outputs LOW immediately, regardless of RS state or power-rail ramp rate. For reliable power-on reset, tie MR to a dedicated RC delay network or automotive reset IC to ensure MR remains HIGH until VDD stabilizes above 3.0 V.

Is HEF4060BT-Q100 compatible with 3.3 V logic systems?

No - the device has a minimum VDD of 3.0 V but is not specified for 3.3 V operation: VIH min is 11.0 V at VDD = 15 V, 7.0 V at VDD = 10 V, and 3.5 V at VDD = 5 V. Driving inputs from 3.3 V logic may result in undefined behavior; level translation is required for interoperability.
