The CD4060 is a versatile 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter with an on-chip oscillator packaged in a standard DIP form factor. It combines both a binary counter and a built-in oscillator, making it a highly useful IC for timing, frequency division, and clock generation applications.
The IC contains a 14-stage divider that takes input from the oscillator section (or an external clock) and produces binary outputs through multiple division ratios. With its wide operating voltage range of 3V to 15V, low power consumption, and high noise immunity, the CD4060 is widely used in digital electronics, automation systems, and embedded designs.
The integrated oscillator can be configured using external resistors and a capacitor, allowing designers to implement reliable timing circuits without requiring a separate oscillator IC.
