PT8A2544/PT8A2545 Universal Timer
Application Note
Introduction PT8A2544/PT8A2545 is a mixed signal CMOS IC designed for a fixed timer to drive RELAY to implement
safety power control. It supports 120/240V and 50/60Hz AC power supply. The device automatically shuts
off load in order to prevent undesired condition of the system. Internal timer is capable of several timer
settings, such as 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, etc.
Figure 1 shows a typical application diagram for 120V/60Hz power supply application, where U1 is
the control IC PT8A2544/PT8A2545. Adjusting the TS0/1/2 input voltage level will result with
different timer-out values.

Note1: ACSEL pin is for 50/60Hz selection, default 60Hz by internal pull down, connecting to VCC will select
50Hz.
Note2: TS2 internal pull down, TS1 & TS0 internal pull up. The default timer is 60 minutes.

Note3: IC will sample the button’s operation during first 100ms after power on. If the button K1 is pressed over
3sec just after power on, chip will enter quick test mode as soon as the button K1 is released.
