QUAD PRECISION HIGH SPEED MICROPOWER TIMER
ALD4501
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALD4501 timer is a high performance QUAD monolithic timing circuit
built with advanced silicon gate CMOS technology. It offers the benefits of
high input impedance, thereby allowing smaller timing capacitors and
longer timing cycle; high speed with typical cycle time of 500ns; low power
dissipation for battery operated environment; and reduced supply current
spikes allowing smaller and lower cost decoupling capacitors. Each of the
four timers can be independently operated in either the monostable,
astable, or 50% duty cycle mode.
Each timer is capable of producing accurate time delays and oscillations in
both monostable and astable operation. It operates in the one-shot
(monostable) mode or 50% duty cycle free running oscillation mode with a
single resistor and one capacitor. The inputs and outputs are fully
compatible with CMOS, NMOS or TTL logic.
There are three matched internal resistors (approximately 200KΩ each)
that set the threshold and trigger levels at two-thirds and one-third respec-
tively of V⁺. These levels can be adjusted by using the control terminal.
When the trigger input is below the trigger level, the output is in the high
state and sourcing 2mA. When the threshold input is above the threshold
level at the same time the trigger input is above the trigger level, the internal
flip-flop is reset, the output goes to the low state and sinks up to 10mA. The
reset input overrides all other inputs and when it is active (reset voltage less
than 1V), the output is in the low state. All four timers share the same control
and reset pins so that timing functions are synchronized.
FEATURES
• High speed operation -- 2MHz typical oscillation at 5V
• Each discharge output sinking current: 40mA at 5V
• Guaranteed low operating supply voltage of 2 to 12V
• Each timer is functionally equivalent to NE555 with greatly expanded
high and low frequency ranges
• High speed, low power, monolithic CMOS technology
• Low supply current 150µA typical
• Extremely low trigger, threshold and reset currents -- 10pA typical
• Operates in both monostable and astable modes
• Fixed 50% duty cycle or adjustable duty cycle
• CMOS, NMOS and TTL compatible input/output
• Low supply current spikes
