12 years ago60hz clock for Max 7000s?
Can someone recommend a 60hz clock for Max 7000s? I was looking to use 555 timer, but I can't get the duration high to match the duration low. Ideally part would be 5v and through hole.

For a 1mhz clock you'd need 1000000/60=16666 = 15 bits. Not ideal but it's available in 5v and through-hole :-) -Mux
