FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the CD4060BE?

The CD4060BE can operate reliably up to approximately 5 MHz, depending on the supply voltage and load conditions. For most timing and division applications, staying below 3 MHz ensures optimal stability.

Can the IC be used in a battery‑powered circuit?

Yes, its low‑power consumption makes it well‑suited for battery‑operated devices. When powered from a 5 V source, the typical quiescent current is under 100 µA, allowing long runtimes.

Is the CD4060BE compatible with other 16‑pin DIP logic families?

Absolutely. The pinout follows standard CMOS conventions, so it can be interchanged with other DIP‑16 logic ICs without redesigning the board layout, provided the functional requirements match.

How do I handle the IC if I need to replace a faulty unit?

Because the package is a standard DIP‑16, you can simply desolder the defective component using a solder wick or hot‑air tool and insert a new one. DBParts supplies replacement units with the same specifications, and our support team can guide you through the process if needed.

What warranty does DBParts offer for this product?

DBParts provides a 12‑month limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you encounter any issues within this period, contact our support team for a replacement or refund, subject to verification of the defect.
