CD4541BC
Programmable Timer
General Description
The CD4541BC Programmable Timer is designed with a
16-stage binary counter, an integrated oscillator for use
with an external capacitor and two resistors, output control
logic, and a special power-on reset circuit. The special fea-
tures of the power-on reset circuit are first, no additional
static power consumption and second, the part functions
across the full voltage range (3V–15V) whether power-on
reset is enabled or disabled.
Timing and the counter are initialized by turning on power,
if the power-on reset is enabled. When the power is
already on, an external reset pulse will also initialize the
timing and counter. After either reset is accomplished, the
oscillator frequency is determined by the external RC net-
work. The 16-stage counter divides the oscillator frequency
by any of 4 digitally controlled division ratios.

Operating Characteristics
With Auto Reset pin set to a “0” the counter circuit is initial-
ized by turning on power. Or with power already on, the
counter circuit is reset when the Master Reset pin is set to
a “1”. Both types of reset will result in synchronously reset-
ting all counter stages independent of counter state.
The RC oscillator frequency is determined by the external
RC network, i.e.:
However, when B is “0”, normal counting is interrupted and
the 9th counter stage receives its clock directly from the
oscillator (i.e., effectively outputting 2
8
).
The Q/Q select output control pin provides for a choice of
output level. When the counter is in a reset condition and
Q/Q select pin is set to a “0” the Q output is a “0”. Corre-
spondingly, when Q/Q select pin is set to a “1” the Q output
is a “1”.
When the mode control pin is set to a “1”, the selected
count is continually transmitted to the output. But, with
mode pin “0” and after a reset condition the RS flip-flop
resets (see Logic Diagram), counting commences and after
2
n−1
counts the RS flip-flop sets which causes the output to
change state. Hence, after another 2
n−1
counts the output
will not change. Thus, a Master Reset pulse must be
applied or a change in the mode pin level is required to
reset the single cycle operation.

The time select inputs (A and B) provide a two-bit address
to output any one of four counter stages (2
8
, 2
10
, 2
13
, and
2
16
). The 2
n
counts as shown in the Division Ratio Table
represent the Q output of the Nth stage of the counter.
When A is “1”, 2
16
is selected for both states of B.

Note 1:
“Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the
safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. Except for “Operating Tempera-
ture Range” they are not meant to imply that the devices should be oper-
ated at these limits. The table of “Electrical Characteristics” provides
conditions for actual device operation.
