FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The oscillator configuration allows the
design of RC or crystal oscillator
circuits. The device can operate from
an external clock signal applied to the
RS input (RTC and CTC must not be
connected). The oscillator frequency
is determined by the external timing
components (RT and CT), within the
frequency range 1 Hz to 4 MHz
(32 kHz to 20 MHz with crystal
oscillator).
In the HCT version the MR input is
TTL compatible but the RS input has
CMOS input switching levels. The RS
input can be driven by TTL input
levels if RS is tied to VCC via a pull-up
resistor.
The counter divides the frequency to
obtain a long pulse duration. The
24-stage is digitally programmed via
the select inputs (S0 to S3). Pin S3 can
also be used to select the test mode,
which is a convenient way of
functionally testing the counter.
The “5555” is triggered on either the
positive-edge, negative-edge or both.
• Trigger pulse applied to input A for
positive-edge triggering
Fig.3 Functional diagram.
• Trigger pulse applied input
B for
negative-edge triggering
• Trigger pulse applied to inputs A
and B (tied together) for both
positive-edge and negative
triggering.
The Schmitt trigger action in the
trigger inputs, transforms slowly
changing input signals into sharply
defined jitter-free output signals and
provides the circuit with excellent
noise immunity.
The OSC CON input is used to select
the oscillator mode, either
continuously running (OSC CON =
HIGH) or triggered start mode (OSC
CON = LOW). The continuously
running mode is selected where a
start-up delay is an undesirable
feature and the triggered start mode
is selected where very low power
consumption is the primary concern.
The start of the programmed time
delay occurs when output Q goes
HIGH (in the triggered start mode, the
previously disabled oscillator will
start-up). After the programmed time
delay, the flip-flop stages are reset
and the output returns to its original
state.
An internal power-on reset is used to
reset all flip-flop stages.
The output pulse can be terminated
by the asynchronous overriding
master reset (MR), this results in all
flip-flop stages being reset. The
output signal is capable of driving a
power transistor. The output time
delay is calculated using the following
formula (minimum time delay is
100 ns):
1
division ratio (s).×
-- f
i
Once triggered, the output width may
be extended by retriggering the
gated, active HIGH-going input A or
the active LOW-going input
B. By
repeating this process, the output
pulse period (Q = HIGH, Q = LOW)
can be made as long as desired. This
mode is selected by RTR/RTR =
HIGH. A LOW on RTR/RTR makes,
once triggered, the outputs (Q, Q)
independent of further transitions of
inputs A and B.

TEST MODE
Set S3 to a logic LOW level, this will divide the 24 stage counter into three, parallel clocking, 8-stage counters. Set S0,
S1 and S2 to a logic HIGH level, this programs the counter to divide-by 28 (256). Apply a trigger pulse and clock in 255
pulses, this sets all flip-flop stages to a logic HIGH level. Set S3 to a logic HIGH level, this causes the counter to divide-by
224. Clock one more pulse into the RS input, this causes a logic 0 to ripple through the counter and output Q/Q goes from
HIGH-to-LOW level. This method of testing the delay counter is faster than clocking in 224 (16 777 216) clock pulses.

Notes
1. One stage selected.
2. It is possible to retrigger directly after the trigger pulse, however the pulse will only be extended, if the time period
exceeds the clock input cycle time divided by 2.
3. One stage selected. The termination of the output pulse remains synchronized with respect to the falling edge of the
RS clock input.
4. One stage selected. The termination of the output pulse is no longer synchronized with respect to the falling edge of
the RS clock input.

Timing Component Limitations
The oscillator frequency is mainly
determined by RtCt, provided R2 ≈
2Rt and R2C2 << RtCt. The function
of R2 is to minimize the influence of
the forward voltage across the input
protection diodes on the frequency.
The stray capacitance C2 should be
kept as small as possible. In
consideration of accuracy, Ct must be
larger than the inherent stray
capacitance. Rt must be larger than
the “ON” resistance in series with it,
which typically is 280 Ω at
VCC= 2 V, 130 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V and
100 Ω at VCC = 6 V. The
recommended values for these
components to maintain agreement
with the typical oscillation formula are:
Ct> 50 pF, up to any practical value,
10 kΩ< Rt< 1 MΩ.
In order to avoid start-up problems,
Rt>> 1 kΩ.
Typical Crystal Oscillator
In Fig.15, R2 is the power limiting
resistor. For starting and maintaining
oscillation a minimum
transconductance is necessary, so
R2 should not be too large. A practical
value for R2 is 2.2 kΩ. Above 14 MHz
it is recommended replacement of R2
by a capacitor with a typical value of
35 pF.
Accuracy
Device accuracy is very precise for
long time delays and has an accuracy
of better than 1% for short time delays
(1% applies to values ≥ 400 ns).
Tolerances are dependent on the
external components used, either RC
network or crystal oscillator.
Start-up Using External Clock
The start of the timing pulse is
initiated directly by the trigger pulse
(asynchronously with respect to the
oscillator clock). Triggering on a clock
HIGH or clock LOW results in the
following:
• clock = HIGH; the timing pulse may
be lengthened by a maximum of
tW/2 (tW = clock pulse width)
• clock = LOW; the timing pulse may
be shortened by a maximum of tW/2
(tW = clock pulse width).
This effect can be minimized by
selecting more delay stages. When
using only one or two delay stages, it
is recommended to use an external
time base that is synchronized with
the negative-edge of the clock.
Start-up Using RC Oscillator
The first clock cycle is ≈35% of a time
period too long. This effect can also
be minimized by selecting more delay
stages.
Start-up Using Crystal Oscillator
A crystal oscillator requires at least
two clock cycles to start-up plus an
unspecified period (ms) before the
amplitude of the clock signal
increases to its expected level.
Although this device also operates at
lower clock amplitudes, it is
recommended to select the
continuously running mode
(OSC CON = HIGH) to prevent
start-up delays.
Termination of the Timing Pulse
The end of the timing pulse is
synchronized with the falling edge of
the oscillator clock. The timing pulse
may lose synchronization under the
following conditions:
• high clock frequency and large
number of stages are selected.
This depends on the dynamic
relationship that exists between the
clock frequency and the ripple
through delay of the subsequent
stages.
Synchronization
When frequencies higher than those
specified in the Table
'Synchronization limits' are used, the
termination of timing pulse will lose
synchronization with the falling edge
of the oscillator. The unsynchronized
timing pulse introduces errors, which
can be minimized by increasing the
number of stages used e.g. a 20 MHz
clock frequency using all 24 stages
will result in a frequency division of
16 777 225 instead of 16 777 216, an
error of 0.0005%.
The amount of error increases at high
clock frequencies as the number of
stages decrease. A clock frequency
of 40 MHz and 4 stages selected
results in a division of 18 instead of
16, a 12.5% error. Application
example:
• If a 400 ns timing pulse was
required it would be more accurate
to utilize a 5 MHz clock frequency
using 1 stage or a 10 MHz clock
frequency using 2 stages (due to
synchronization with falling edge of
the oscillator) than a 40 MHz clock
frequency and 4 stages
(synchronization is lost).

Minimum Output Pulse Width
The minimum output pulse width is
determined by the minimum clock
pulse width, plus the maximum
propagation delay of A, B to Q. The
rising edge of Q is dominated by the
A,B to Q propagation delay, while the
falling edge of Q is dominated by RS
to Q propagation delay. These
propagation delays are not equal. The
SYNCHRONIZATION LIMITS
NUMBER OF STAGES SELECTEDCLOCK FREQUENCY (TYPICAL)
RS to Q propagation delay is some
what longer, resulting in inaccurate
outputs for extremely short pulses.
The propagation delays are listed in
the section 'AC Characteristics'. With
these numbers it is possible to
calculate the maximum deviation (an
example is shown in Fig.16).
Figure 16 is valid for an external clock
where the trigger is synchronized to
the falling edge of the clock only. The
graph shows that the minimum
programmed pulse width of 100 ns is:
• minimum of 4% too long
• typically 7% too long
• maximum of 10% too long.
