ante Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hi binkabir,There are many things you can do with the 555 that can’t be done with the 4060! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binkabir Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 that's true but when you are looking for an advancment in terms of functionality and efficency 555 should be counted out. do you know the you can make 4060 anhave 7 output with different ocsillating frequencies whereas the 555 can only utilize just one.

audioguru Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 A CD4541 timer IC is like a CD4060 in that it has an oscillator and digital counter.But it works better than a CD4060 as a timer because it has automatic power-on reset, has a built-in mono-stable and your choice of output polarity. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
