I haven’t found any official info on why those outputs are omitted, but the most probable theory I’ve read is that the 4060 is an upgrade of the 4040. The Missing Outputs Q0, Q1, Q2, Q10įor some reason, the CD4060 lacks the outputs Q0 to Q2 and Q10. Or for a delay of 2 hours and 16 minutes (8192 seconds), you can use output Q13. So for an 8-second delay, you can use output Q3. This makes the CD4060 a timer circuit that can be used to select between different time delays (or frequencies), depending on which Q-output you use.įor example, if you choose values for the resistor and capacitor so that the oscillator creates a clock pulse of 1 Hz, it means it will increase the counter every second. It also has a built-in oscillator that makes it possible to create a clock pulse to automatically increase the counter. This means it can count up to 16383 (the maximum value of 14 bits). Instead of just four flip-flops like in the example above, the CD4060 has 14 flip-flops in series. The CLK input of the flip-flop on the left is the counter input. The output of one is connected to the CLK input of the next.

Pin overview for the CD4060 What is a Binary Counter with Oscillator?Ī binary ripple counter is a circuit made up of D flip-flops in series. That makes it a very interesting chip, especially for those interested in audio and synthesizers. This is because it has a built-in oscillator module that only requires a few passive electronic components.įrom only two resistors and one capacitor it can create 10 different frequencies. It can be used to produce selectable time delays or to create signals of different frequencies. The CD4060 is a CMOS chip with a binary counter and oscillator included.
