Does the CD4060B need a reset every 2^14 counts if I am using it as a
1/2^14 frequency divider?
Thanks, Chris

1/2^14 frequency divider?
Hi Cris,
no
Marte
--- Dunno what you mean exactly, but if you reset the 4060 and then start sending it clocks, 8192 clocks later Q13 (the output of the 14th stage) will go high, then 8192 clocks later it'll go low, then 8192 clocks later it'll go high again, and so on, forever.
Well, as long as you don't reset it...
So, since there are 8192 HF clocks between when Q13 goes high and then goes low, and 8192 more clocks between when it went low and then goes high again, there are 16384 high frequency clock periods in one low frequency period, so the 4060 is dividing by 16384 or, 2^14.

No, all the flipflops just keep counting.

No. I am using a 4060 myself in a current project with a 32768 Hz crystal to get continuous half-second pulses.
