CD4060BE / CD4060BN — CMOS 14-Stage Binary Ripple Counter with Oscillator, DIP-16
The CD4060 (marked CD4060BE or CD4060BN) is a CMOS 14-stage binary ripple counter with a built-in oscillator/clock generator in DIP-16 through-hole package. The integrated oscillator accepts an external RC or crystal network, making it a complete self-contained timer and frequency divider — no external clock source needed. Operating from 3V to 15V, it divides the oscillator frequency by powers of 2 (up to 2^14 = 16,384). Each pack contains 5 pieces.

Why Choose CD4060?
- Built-in oscillator — no external clock IC needed, just add RC or crystal
- 14 division stages — divide by 8 to 16,384 in binary steps
- 3-15V supply — works with 3.3V, 5V, 9V, and 12V systems
- DIP-16 package — breadboard-friendly, no SMD soldering required
- 5-pack value — enough for multiple timer and clock projects
Typical Applications
- Long-duration timer — divide 32.768kHz crystal to get 1Hz, then count seconds/minutes/hours
- Frequency divider — divide oscillator frequency by binary powers for sub-frequency generation
- Clock generator — generate precise clock signals for digital circuits
- Watchdog timer — generate periodic reset pulses for microcontroller watchdog
- LED flasher — slow-flash LED at precise intervals from RC oscillator
- Electronics education — teach binary counting, oscillators, and frequency division
FAQ
Q: How do I make a 1Hz output from CD4060?
A: Use a 32.768kHz crystal with the built-in oscillator. Q15 (divide by 32768) gives exactly 1Hz. Note: Q14 and Q15 are not available as outputs on CD4060 — use Q13 (divide by 8192) with a 8.192kHz oscillator for 1Hz, or use CD4060 + CD4040 in cascade for 32.768kHz to 1Hz.
Q: What is the difference between CD4060BE and CD4060BN?
A: Both are DIP-16 through-hole packages. BE is the standard commercial temperature range (-40 to +85C), BN is an older designation. Electrically equivalent.
Q: Can CD4060 be used with a crystal oscillator?
A: Yes. Connect a crystal between OSC1 and OSC2 pins with appropriate load capacitors (typically 22pF). The built-in inverter amplifier sustains crystal oscillation.
