This is a stress only rating and operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. NOTES: 1. Due to the SCR structure inherent in the CMOS process, connecting any terminal to voltages greater than VDD or less than VSS may cause destructive device latchup. For this reason, it is recommended that no inputs from external sources not operating on the same supply be applied to the device before its supply is established and, that in multiple supply systems, the supply to the ICM7242 be turned on first. 2. θJA is measured with the component mounted on an evaluation PC board in free air.

Application Information Operating Considerations Shorting the RC terminal or output terminals to VDD may exceed dissipation ratings and/or maximum DC current limits (especially at high supply voltages). There is a limitation of 50pF maximum loading on the TB I/O terminal if the timebase is being used to drive the counter section. If higher value loading is used, the counter sections may miscount. For greatest accuracy, use timing component values shown in Figure 8. For highest frequency operation it will be desirable to use very low values for the capacitor; accuracy will decrease for oscillator frequencies in excess of 200kHz. The timing diagram for the ICM7242 is shown in Figure 1. Assuming that the device is in the RESET mode, which occurs on power up or after a positive signal on the RESET terminal (if TRIGGER is low), a positive edge on the trigger input signal will initiate normal operation. The discharge transistor turns on, discharging the timing capacitor C, and all the flip-flops in the counter chain change states. Thus, the outputs on terminals 2 and 3 change from high to low states. After 128 negative timebase edges, the ÷28 output returns to the high state. The timing capacitor should be connected between the RC pin and the positive supply rail, VDD , as shown in Figure 1. When system power is turned off, any charge remaining on the capacitor will be discharged to ground through a large internal diode between the RC node and VSS. Do NOT reference the timing capacitor to ground, since there is no high current path in this direction to safely discharge the capacitor when power is turned off. The discharge current from such a configuration could potentially damage the device. When driving the counter section from an external clock, the optimum drive waveform is a square wave with an amplitude equal to the supply voltage. If the clock is a very slow ramp triangular, sine wave, etc., it will be necessary to “square up” the waveform; this can be done by using two CMOS inverters in series, operating from the same supply voltage as the ICM7242. The ICM7242 is a non-programmable timer whose principal applications will be very low frequency oscillators and long range timers; it makes a much better low frequency oscillator/timer than a 555 or ICM7555, because of the on-chip 8-bit counter. Also, devices can be cascaded to produce extremely low frequency signals. Because outputs will not be ANDed, output inverters are used instead of open drain N-Channel transistors, and the external resistors used for the 2242 will not be required for the ICM7242. The ICM7242 will, however, plug into a socket for the 2242 having these resistors. 8-165 TRIGGER INPUT (TERMINAL 6) TIMEBASE INPUT (TERMINAL 8) ÷ 2 OUTPUT (TERMINAL 2) 128RC ÷ 128/256 OUTPUT (TERMINAL 3) (ASTABLE OR “FREE RUN” MODE) 128RC ÷ 128/256 OUTPUT (TERMINAL 3) (MONOSTABLE OR “ONE SHOT” MODE) 128RC FIGURE 1.

USING THE ICM7242 AS A RIPPLE COUNTER (DIVIDER) ICM7242 To use the 8-bit counter without the timebase, Terminal 7 (RC) should be connected to ground and the outputs taken from Terminals 2 and 3. The ICM7242 may be used for a very low frequency square wave reference. For this application the timing components are more convenient than those that would be required by a 555 timer. For very low frequencies, devices may be cascaded (see Figure 3).

MONOSTABLE OPERATION The ICM7242 is superior in all respects to the 2242 except for initial accuracy and oscillator stability. This is primarily due to the fact that high value p- resistors have been used on the ICM7242 to provide the comparator timing points. By cascading devices, use of low cost CMOS AND/OR gates and appropriate RC delays between stages, numerous sequential control variations can be obtained. Typical applications include injection molding machine controllers, phonograph record production machines, automatic sequencers (no metal contacts or moving parts), milling machine controllers, process timers, automatic lubrication systems, etc. Sequence Timing • Process Control • Machine Automation • Electro-Pneumatic Drivers • Multi Operation (Serial or Parallel Controlling) 8-166 ICM7242 VDD VDD R (NOTE) C TRIGGER VDD R (NOTE) C A 6 S1 50K 3 ICM7242 A 33K 10K ICM7242 B 33K 10K 100pF 3 ICM7242 C 5 100pF 6 33K 5 10K D 100pF TRIGGER 128RC OUTPUT A (NOTE) 128RC OUTPUT B (NOTE) 128RC OUTPUT C (NOTE) 128RC OUTPUT D (NOTE) NOTE: Select RC values for desired “ON TIME” for each ICM7242.
