Pin Descriptions
VDD (pin 1)
This pin is the positive supply pin, and should
always be the most positive point in the circuit.
Internal circuitry connected to this pin is used to
provide power on reset of the microprocessor, so
an external reset signal is normally not required.
Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for
further information.
present. The Schmitt trigger amplifier on the
input simplifies the coupling to slowly varying
signals, while the inherent protection diodes
(shown in the block diagram) allow signals with
peak levels beyond the supply limits to be
connected through a current limiting resistor.
Pulse (pin 6)
D1 (pin 2) and D0 (pin 3)
This output pin is normally at a low level, but is
momentarily driven high at the beginning of
every timing period. The duration of the pulse is
fixed at 50 cycles of the clock input (nominally 1
second with a 50Hz input). This output will not
assume a high level following a circuit reset until
there has been a valid clock transition.
The logic levels on these pins control the divider
ratio, as shown in Table 1. Their levels are stored
in an internal latch on the low to high transistion of
the Pulse output, and are used for that entire
timing period.
reset (pin 4)
Out (pin 7)
An active low input that forces both outputs low,
and causes all counter stages to initialize. If
unused, it can be left open circuited (due to the
internal resistor) or preferrably tied to VDD. Refer to
the minimum timing requirements in the Electrical
Characteristics section.
This is the main timing chain output. It has a
fixed 50% duty cycle, and begins each timing
cycle at a logic low level. Halfway through each
cycle, Out will assume a logic high level and will
remain high until the end of the timing period.
Clock (pin 5)
VSS (pin 8)
The counter stages advance on the falling edge
(VDD to VSS) of this input, if there is no reset signal
Circuit common is connected to this pin. This is
the most negative point in the circuit.
