Programmable timer with 100 kHz ceiling and 16-bit counter
The Texas Instruments CD4541BM96 is a programmable timer IC that generates accurate time delays or oscillator signals up to 100 kHz. It integrates a 16-bit counter (65536 count) that divides the internal or external clock frequency, making it suitable for timing sequences in industrial control, instrumentation, and consumer electronics where a single-chip timer replaces discrete RC networks.
Wide supply range and military temperature grade
Operating from 3 V to 20 V, this timer accommodates both 5 V logic rails and higher-voltage industrial supplies without an external regulator. The 14-SOIC package (3.90 mm width) suits automated surface-mount assembly on standard PCB footprints. The supplier device package is 14-SOIC, matching the JEDEC MO-012 variation for this body width.
