CD4060BCN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD4060BCN is a 14-bit binary counter IC manufactured by onsemi, housed in a 16-DIP package. This device functions as a negative-edge-triggered counter with asynchronous reset, capable of counting at rates up to 12 MHz across a wide supply voltage range of 3V to 15V. The CD4060BCN is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations where this component is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD4060BCN is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic function: Binary counter with identical bit width (14-bit)
• Trigger mechanism: Negative edge triggering
• Reset functionality: Asynchronous reset capability
• Maximum count rate: 12 MHz minimum
• Package configuration: 16-DIP form factor with identical pinout
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Supply voltage compatibility: Overlapping operational voltage window

The CD4060BE from Texas Instruments meets all substitution criteria. Both devices share the base product number CD4060 and are members of the 4000B logic series, ensuring functional and pin-level compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CD4060BE serves as the direct functional equivalent for CD4060BCN applications. The Texas Instruments variant maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The CD4060BE demonstrates ROHS3 compliance, meeting modern environmental and regulatory requirements. The extended supply voltage range of 3V to 18V in the CD4060BE provides additional operational margin compared to the CD4060BCN specification of 3V to 15V. Both devices share identical electrical performance specifications for count rate, trigger characteristics, and temperature operating range. Pin-level compatibility is guaranteed through shared 16-DIP packaging and base product number designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CD4060BCN and CD4060BE pin-compatible? A: Yes. Both devices use the 16-DIP package with identical pinout configuration. Direct socket substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute CD4060BCN? A: The CD4060BCN is classified as obsolete. The CD4060BE provides equivalent functionality with active manufacturing status and improved regulatory compliance.

Q: Does the CD4060BE operate across the same voltage range as CD4060BCN? A: The CD4060BE supports 3V to 18V operation, which encompasses the CD4060BCN range of 3V to 15V. The extended upper limit provides additional design flexibility without compromising compatibility.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these devices? A: No. Both devices specify identical count rate (12 MHz), trigger type (negative edge), reset mechanism (asynchronous), and temperature operating range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: What packaging options are available? A: Both the CD4060BCN and CD4060BE are supplied in 16-DIP through-hole packages. The CD4060BE is available in tube packaging format.

Q: Is the CD4060BE compliant with modern environmental standards? A: Yes. The CD4060BE is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
