DESCRIPTION
The HCC/HCF4541B Programmable Timer is com-
posed of a 16-stage binary counter, an oscillator
controlled by 2 external resistors and a capacitor, an
output control logic and an automatic power-on
reset circuit. The counter varies on positive-edge
clock transation and it can be cleared by the MAS-
TER RESET input. The output from this timer is the
Q or Q output from the 8th, 13th, or 16th counter
stage. The choice of the stage depends on the time-
select inputs A or B (see frequency selection table).
The output is available in one of the two modes that
can be selected via the MODE input, pin 10 (see
truth table). The output turns out as a continuous
square wave, with a frequency equal to the oscillator
frequency divided by 2N. When this MODE input is

TER RESET is started, and Q output has been se- power operation is wanted.
lected, the output goes up to a high state after 2N-1 The frequency of the oscillator depends on the RC
counts. It remains in that state till another MASTER network. It can be calculated using the following for-
RESET pulse is apply or the mode input is a logic ” mula:
1 ”. The process starts by setting the AUTO RESET 1
input (pin 5) to logic ” 0 ” and switching power on. If f=
2.3 RTC CTC
pin 5 is set to logic ” 1 ”, the AUTO RESET circuit is
not enabled and counting cannot start till a positive where f is between 1 kHz and 100 kHz
MASTER RESET pulse is applied, returning to a low and RS ≥ 10 kΩ and ≈ 2 RTC
level. The AUTO RESET consumes a remarkable
RC Oscillator Circuit.

DIGITAL TIMER APPLICATION

A positive MASTER RESET pulse clears the

counters and latch. The output goes high and keeps
up till the number of pulses, selected by A and B, are
counted. This circuit is retriggerable and is as accur-
ate as the input frequency. If a more accurate circuit
is desired, an external clock can be used on pin 3.
A set-up time equal to the width of the one shot out-
put is required immediately following initial power
up, during which time the output will be high.
