Hi All!

Looking at the pinout of the CD4060B and can't figure out why there is no Q0, Q1, Q2, or Q11???

Thank you very much for any tips!!

or Q3

The designers wanted to keep the chip in a standard 16-pin package.
And, they wanted to make available outputs for the largest divisions, and other common divisions.

 

Basically as answered, it was to fit it is a small package. I primarily use it as a xtl oscillator myself.

Digital clocks

I have also used it a lot for precision timer circuits, such as a 24 hour relay actuator.

 

oops! sorry nvmd all good!

 

If you need all stages use 4060 as clock to drive a 4040 which has all 12 stages available.
