The HCF4060BEY is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is a 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter/divider and oscillator with three oscillator terminals, ten buffered outputs, and an active-low reset input. Here are some key features and functionalities of the HCF4060BEY:
1. Binary Counter/Divider: The HCF4060BEY is capable of counting in binary from 0 to 2^14 (16,384) and can divide an input frequency by powers of 2 utilizing its internal flip-flops.
2. Integrated Oscillator: It includes an internal oscillator that can operate in a wide range of frequencies determined by external components. The oscillator requires an external resistor and capacitor to set the frequency.
3. Ripple-Carry Outputs: The IC has ten buffered outputs called Q3 to Q14, which provide a binary representation of the current count. These outputs can be utilized for various applications such as driving other circuitry or multiplexing.
4. Active-Low Reset Input: The HCF4060BEY features a RESET input, which allows resetting the counter to zero when it is pulled low (logic 0). This input overrides all other inputs and stops the oscillator.
5. Low Power Consumption: It is designed to operate in a wide voltage range (from 3V to 18V) and consumes low power, making it suitable for battery-operated applications
