ADVANCED LINEAR DEVICES, INC. ALD555 HIGH SPEED CMOS TIMER GENERAL DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS The ALD555 timer is a high performance 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; reduced supply current spikes, allowing smaller and lower cost decoupling capacitors. It 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. • High speed one-shot (monostable) There are three matched internal resistors (approximately 200KΩ each) that set the threshold and trigger levels at two-thirds and one-third respectively of V +. These levels can be adjusted by using the control terminal (pin 5). When the trigger input is below the trigger level, the output is in the high state and sourcing 2mA. When 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. pulse generation Precision timing Sequential timing Long delay timer Pulse width and pulse position modulation • Missing pulse detector • Frequency divider • • • • PIN CONFIGURATION GROUND 1 8 V+ TRIGGER 2 7 DISCHARGE OUTPUT 3 6 THRESHOLD RESET 4 5 CONTROL TOP VIEW DA, PA, SA PACKAGE FEATURES • Functional equivalent to NE555 with greatly expanded high and low frequency ranges • High speed, low power, monolithic CMOS technology • Low supply current 100µA typical • Extremely low trigger, threshold and reset currents -- 1pA typical • High speed operation -- 2MHz oscillation • Low operating supply voltage 2 to 12V • Operates in both monostable and astable modes • Fixed 50% duty cycle or adjustable duty cycle CMOS, NMOS and TTL compatible input/output • High discharge sinking current (80mA) • Low supply current spikes BLOCK DIAGRAM V+ (8) RESET (4) THRESHOLD (6) CONTROL (5) R R OUTPUT (3) R ORDERING INFORMATION S TRIGGER (2) Operating Temperature Range * -55°C to +125°C 0°C to +70°C 0°C to +70°C 8-Pin CERDIP Package 8-Pin Small Outline Package (SOIC) 8-Pin Plastic Dip Package ALD555 DA ALD555 SA ALD555 PA DISCHARGE (7) R GND (1) * Contact factory for industrial temperature range © 1998 Advanced Linear Devices, Inc. 415 Tasman Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94089 -1706 Tel: (408) 747-1155 Fax: (408) 747-1286 http://www.aldinc.com ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Supply voltage, V+ Input voltage range Power dissipation Operating temperature range 13.2V -0.3V to V+ +0.3V 600 mW 0°C to +70°C -55°C to +125°C -65°C to +150°C +260°C PA,SA package DA package Storage temperature range Lead temperature, 10 seconds OPERATING ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS TA = 25 oC V + = +5V unless otherwise specified Parameter Symbol Supply Voltage V+ Supply Current IS Timing error / Astable mode Initial Accuracy terr Drift with Temperature 1 Drift with Supply Voltage 1 ∆t/∆T ∆t/∆V+ Threshold Voltage VTH 3.273 3.333 3.393 V Trigger Voltage VTRIG 1.607 1.667 1.737 V Trigger Current 2 ITRIG .001 0.2 nA Reset Voltage VRST 0.7 1.0 V Reset Current 2 IRST .001 0.2 nA Threshold Current 2 ITH .001 0.2 nA Control Voltage Level VCONT 3.333 3.393 V Output Voltage Drop (Low) VOL 0.2 0.4 V ISINK = 10mA Output Voltage Drop (High) VOH 4.2 V ISOURCE = -2mA Rise Time of Output 1 tr 15 30 ns RL = 10MΩ Fall Time of Output 1 tf 10 20 ns CL = 10pF Discharge Transistor Leakage Current IDL .01 Discharge Voltage Drop VDISC 0.5 0.2 Maximum Frequency Astable Mode fMAX Notes: 1 2 ALD555 Min Typ 2 Max 3.273 1.4 Test Conditions 12 V 100 180 µA Outputs Unloaded 1.0 2.2 % C = 0.1µF ppm/°C %/V RA = 1KΩ RB = 1KΩ 10.0 0.1 0.4 Unit nA 1.0 0.4 2 V V I DISCHARGE = 80mA I DISCHARGE = 30mA MHz RA = 470Ω RB = 200Ω CT = 200pF Sample tested parameters.
