4060 Binary Counter: CD4060BE

This Binary Counter, the 4060, is commonly used for creating binary LED counters. With 10 outputs that each turn on and off at half the speed of the one before it, you can make cool lighting displays with ease! Just connect 10 LEDs to each of the 10 outputs and watch the first flash at the clock speed, the second at half that speed, the third at a quarter of that speed, etc!

Besides super easy LED displays, the 4060 Binary Counter is a powerful chip that is used in numerous automotive, alarm system, medical electronics, industrial electronics, remote metering and instrumentation environments.

Specifications:

• Operating Voltage: 3V - 18V DC

• 10 outputs (the first goes high and low with clock speed and the following are each half the speed of the previous)
• Inputs: 
• Clock (should alternate between HIGH and LOW every clock cycle to set the speed of the counting)
• Reset (set to HIGH for one Clock Cycle to clear and begin counting from 0 anytime)
• Binary Counter Type: 14-stage Ripple-Carry Binary Counter / Divider and Oscillator
• Max Clock Frequency: 12MHz at 15V
• Minimum Pulse Width: 30 nanoseconds at 15V
• Minimum Reset Pulse Width: 40 nanoseconds at 5V
• Raspberry Pi and Arduino Compatible
