Overview
The CD4060BMW-MIL is a 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter integrated circuit produced by National Semiconductor. This component is part of the CD4060B series, which is known for its versatility in counting and oscillator applications. The IC includes an oscillator section that can be configured as either an RC or crystal oscillator, making it suitable for a wide range of timing and counting tasks. The counter stages are master-slave flip-flops, and the state of the counter advances one step in binary order on the negative transition of the input pulse.
