Nexperia USA Inc. HEF4060BTTJ

Overview

HEF4060BTTJ from Nexperia is a 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter/divider with integrated RC/crystal oscillator circuitry, operating across 3.0 V to 15.0 V supply, delivering buffered Q3–Q9 and Q11–Q13 outputs, and featuring asynchronous master reset (MR) for deterministic state clearing - used in timing reference generation, LED flash sequencing, and low-frequency clock division in industrial control panels.

For engineers reviewing the HEF4060BTTJ datasheet, HEF4060BTTJ pinout, HEF4060BTTJ application, or HEF4060BTTJ equivalent, key selection criteria include oscillator configuration flexibility (RC vs. crystal), wide VDD tolerance, propagation delay consistency across temperature, and direct compatibility with legacy 4000-series logic interfaces.

Technical Context

The HEF4060BTTJ implements a cascaded asynchronous flip-flop architecture where each stage divides by two, yielding 14-bit division (2¹⁴ = 16,384) with output taps at Q3–Q9 and Q11–Q13. Its oscillator section supports both external RC networks (REXT/CEXT) and crystal-based configurations, with RS serving as either oscillator input or external clock source.

Operation is fully static and tolerant of slow input edge rates; MR forces all outputs LOW independently of clock phase, and internal clamp diodes permit safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VDD when current-limiting resistors are used. The device complies with JEDEC JESD13-B and operates from −40 °C to +85 °C.

FAQ

Can HEF4060BTTJ operate with a crystal oscillator?

Yes - the HEF4060BTTJ supports crystal oscillator configuration using RS, REXT, and CEXT pins. A typical setup uses a 32.768 kHz crystal with 22–37 pF load capacitors and a 100 kΩ bias resistor, as shown in Figure 8 of the datasheet. No external inverter is required, as the on-chip oscillator circuit provides necessary gain and feedback.

What is the maximum clock frequency supported at 5 V supply?

At VDD = 5 V, the HEF4060BTTJ supports a maximum input clock frequency of 4 MHz (typical) and 2 MHz (guaranteed) on the RS pin. This value is derived from dynamic characteristics Table 7, where fmax is specified as 4 MHz min at 5 V with CL = 50 pF and Tamb = 25 °C.

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

The MR pin is active-HIGH and asynchronous. During power-up, if MR is held HIGH until VDD stabilizes above 3.0 V, all outputs remain LOW until MR is deasserted. To ensure reliable initialization, tie MR to VDD through a 100 kΩ pull-up and add a 100 nF capacitor to ground for ~10 ms reset pulse - matching the trec specification of 60 ns min.

Is HEF4060BTTJ pin-compatible with older HEF4060BT variants?

Yes - HEF4060BTTJ (TSSOP16/SOT403-1) shares identical pinout and electrical behavior with HEF4060BT (SO16/SOT109-1), as confirmed in Figures 3 and 4 of the datasheet. Both use the same functional pin mapping, allowing direct PCB footprint substitution without logic or timing changes.
