CD4536BE

The RCA CD4536BE is a programmable timer based on the CD4000 CMOS technology family. It consists of 24 ripple-binary counter stages, offering flexibility in counting from 1 to 2^24. The device allows bypassing the first 8 stages, enabling outputs selectable by a 4-bit BCD code from the remaining 16 stages.

Key features include an on-chip RC oscillator provision, a clock inhibit input, and a Schmitt-trigger input for the clock line, which allows operation with long rise and fall times. It also provides an on-chip monostable output for variable pulse width generation. The CD4536BE can be driven by an external clock or its on-chip RC oscillator. Input IN1 serves as the clock or oscillator input, while OUT1 and OUT2 are terminals for external RC components.

This programmable timer is available in multiple package types including PDIP, SOP, SOIC, and TSSOP. It is rated for an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The device is suitable for various timing functions and can drive low power TTL loads.

Designed for flexibility, the CD4536BE is a robust component for applications requiring precise timing control. Its ability to be configured for different counting lengths and its integrated oscillator make it a valuable choice for electronic designs.
