Product details
Overview
M74HC4060RM13TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS 14-stage binary counter/oscillator in SO16 package, operating from 2 V to 6 V supply, delivering fMAX = 65 MHz (typ.) at VCC = 6 V, with Q12 providing 1/16384 frequency division, used for timing generation in automotive clock trees and industrial control reset sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC4060RM13TR datasheet, M74HC4060RM13TR pinout, M74HC4060RM13TR application, or M74HC4060RM13TR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, oscillator configuration options (RC/crystal), CLEAR-driven synchronous reset behavior, and SO16 package–specific timing margins across -55 °C to +125 °C.
Technical Context
The device integrates an on-chip oscillator with ∅I input and external ∅O/∅O pins for RC or crystal-based clock source implementation; propagation delays are balanced (TPLH ≅ TPHL) with tPD(∅I→Q4) = 30 ns (typ.) at VCC = 6 V and TA = 25 °C.
It features symmetrical output drive (|IOH| = IOL = 4 mA min.), high noise immunity (VNIH/VNIL = 28% VCC min.), and master CLEAR that forces all Q outputs low while disabling oscillator operation - no internal state retention during reset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports single-supply operation across battery-powered and industrial rail systems |
| fMAX | 65 MHz (typ.) at VCC = 6 V - enables high-resolution timing up to ~15 ns resolution per count step |
| Q12 Division Ratio | 1/16384 - provides precise low-frequency timing (e.g., 1 Hz from 16.384 kHz crystal) |
| IOH/IOL | ±4 mA min. - drives standard TTL/CMOS loads without external buffers |
| Operating Temp | -55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and under-hood automotive use |
| ESD HBM | 2 kV - meets basic handling robustness for assembly environments |
| tPHL(CLEAR→Qn) | 17 ns (typ.) at VCC = 6 V - ensures fast, deterministic system reset propagation |
Pinout & Package
SO16 (Small Outline, 16-pin) package with 1.27 mm pitch, body width 3.9 mm, height 1.75 mm, and ECOPACK® RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Q12, Q13, Q14 | Divided clock outputs - Q12 = ÷16384, Q13 = ÷32768, Q14 = ÷65536 |
| 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15 | Q4 to Q10 | Intermediate division taps - support multi-rate timing (e.g., Q4 = ÷16, Q10 = ÷1024) |
| 9, 10 | ∅O, ∅O | Oscillator external node - connects to capacitor (9) and resistor (10) for RC mode, or crystal between them for crystal mode |
| 11 | ∅I | Oscillator input / clock input - accepts external clock or feeds back oscillator signal |
| 12 | CLEAR | Active-high synchronous reset - forces all Q outputs low and halts oscillator when high |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance return path for oscillator and output switching currents |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal logic and output drivers; decoupling required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RC/Crystal Oscillator Configurability | External ∅O/∅O pins allow either RC network (low-cost timing) or parallel-resonant crystal (high-accuracy clock source) |
| Synchronous Master Reset | CLEAR input resets all 14 stages and disables oscillator - eliminates metastability in power-up or fault recovery |
| Balanced Propagation Delays | TPLH ≅ TPHL ensures 50% duty cycle preservation across all Q outputs - critical for clock distribution |
| Wide Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V operation enables direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and legacy 5 V logic without level shifters |
| High Noise Immunity | VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28% VCC minimizes false triggering in electrically noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-stage binary counter/oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74HC4060E | PDIP16 package only; -55 °C to +125 °C rating; no automotive qualification | Limited to lab prototyping or non-automotive industrial use due to through-hole packaging and lack of AEC-Q100 screening | Select when DIP socket testing or legacy board compatibility is required |
| SN74HC4060DR | SO16 package; rated -40 °C to +85 °C; lower max fMAX = 50 MHz (typ.) at VCC = 6 V | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer electronics but not extended-temp industrial or automotive deployments | Choose for cost-sensitive, ambient-temperature applications where full -55 °C rating is unnecessary |
Compared with CD74HC4060E and SN74HC4060DR, M74HC4060RM13TR uniquely combines SO16 surface-mount compatibility, -55 °C to +125 °C operation, and 65 MHz speed - making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive timing and harsh-environment industrial control.

FAQ
Can M74HC4060RM13TR operate with a 3.3 V supply?
Yes - the device is fully specified from 2 V to 6 V, including 3.3 V operation. At VCC = 3.3 V, fMAX is 24 MHz (min.) per datasheet Table 7, and output drive remains compliant with 3.3 V logic thresholds (VOH ≥ 3.1 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IO = ±4 mA).
What is the minimum external resistor value for RC oscillator mode?
The minimum recommended R for RC oscillator is 2 kΩ, based on oscillator startup reliability and current limits. With C = 22 pF and R = 10 kΩ, typical frequency is ~1.5 MHz; values below 2 kΩ risk excessive current draw and reduced noise margin per Figure 9 and electrical characteristics.
Does CLEAR affect the oscillator section independently of the counter?
Yes - when CLEAR is high, both the counter state resets to zero and the oscillator is disabled (no activity on ∅O/∅O). The oscillator resumes only after CLEAR returns low and a valid oscillation condition (RC network or crystal) is present, ensuring clean restart without spurious edges.
Is there a version with AEC-Q100 qualification?
Yes - M74HC4060YRM13TR is the automotive-qualified variant, screened per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (-40 °C to +125 °C) and AEC-Q001/Q002 advanced stress testing. It shares identical pinout and functionality but adds traceability, lot-level test data, and enhanced reliability reporting for automotive programs.
