The CD4060 is a 14-stage ripple carry binary counters. The IC belongs to the CD4000 IC series and is made by using Complementary MOS (CMOS) technology. The counters are advanced one count on the negative transition of each clock pulse. The counters are reset to the zero state by a logical “1” at the reset input independent of the clock. The IUC is always available in a 14 – pin hermetically sealed dual in line package (DIP). The output of the IC always comes in TTL, which makes it to be interfaced with other TTL, CMOS, and NMOS devices.
What is a Binary Ripple Counter?
A binary ripple counter generally uses a bistable multivibrator circuit so that cache input applied to the counter causes the count to advance or decrease. The Q and Q output terminals are always logically opposite. If the Q output is logical 1 (SET), the Q output then logical 0, If the Q output is logical 0 (REST), then the output is logical 1. A simple Binary ripple counter can easily be made by rigging at least two D – type flip flops.
