Overview
The SN74HC4060PWR, produced by Texas Instruments, is a 14-stage asynchronous binary counter and oscillator integrated circuit. This device combines an oscillator section with 14 ripple-carry binary counter stages, making it versatile for various timing and counting applications. The oscillator configuration allows for the design of either RC- or crystal-oscillator circuits, providing flexibility in system design. A high-to-low transition on the clock (CLKI) input increments the counter, while a high level at the clear (CLR) input disables the oscillator and resets the counter to zero.
