The HEF4060BTTJ is an integrated circuit (IC) component commonly used in digital electronics applications. It is a 14-stage ripple carry binary counter/divider with a built-in oscillator. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Binary Counter: The HEF4060BTTJ is designed as a 14-stage binary counter, which means it can count up to 2^14 or 16,384 different states. This feature allows it to perform various counting and timing functions in digital circuits.
2. Ripple Carry Output: The IC provides a ripple carry output (RCO) signal that can be used to cascade multiple counters together for additional counting stages. This allows for extending the counting range beyond the 14 stages of a single IC.
3. Oscillator: The HEF4060BTTJ includes a built-in oscillator with frequency control. The oscillator can be configured to generate precise square wave signals using external resistors and capacitors. This feature eliminates the need for an external clock source, making it convenient for many applications.
4. Frequency Divider: The IC can also function as a frequency divider by connecting an external clock source to the oscillator input pin. The division ratio can be set using external resistors/capacitors, allowing for dividing the input frequency by various factors.
5. Reset and Control Pins: The HEF4060BTTJ offers reset (RESET) and control (CTRL) pins to provide additional functionality
