MC14541B

Programmable Timer
The MC14541B programmable timer consists of a 16stage binary
counter, an integrated oscillator for use with an external capacitor and
two resistors, an automatic poweron reset circuit, and output control
logic.
Timing is initialized by turning on power, whereupon the poweron http://onsemi.com
reset is enabled and initializes the counter, within the specified VDD
range. With the power already on, an external reset pulse can be MARKING
applied. Upon release of the initial reset command, the oscillator will DIAGRAMS
oscillate with a frequency determined by the external RC network. The
16stage counter divides the oscillator frequency (fosc) with the nth 14
stage frequency being fosc/2n. PDIP14
