CD4541BM96

Overview

The CD4541BM96 is a CMOS programmable timer manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 14-SOIC surface-mount package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 18 V and supports a maximum frequency of 100 kHz. The device features a 16-bit binary counter with a maximum count of 65,536. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 10,500 ns, output currents of 4 mA for both high and low states, and a typical operating supply current of 300 µA. It functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• CMOS Programmable Timer with 16-bit binary counter (max count 65,536)
• Wide supply voltage operation: 3 V to 18 V
• Surface-mount SOIC-14 package suitable for automated assembly
• Extended industrial temperature range: -55 °C to +125 °C

Applications

• Precision timing circuits requiring programmable intervals
• Frequency division and counting applications
• Industrial control systems operating in extreme temperatures
• Battery-powered devices due to low static current consumption

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '96' against the official Texas Instruments datasheet to confirm packaging details and RoHS compliance status. Distributor listings may vary in stock availability and lead times. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required tape-and-reel or cut-tape configuration for your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel programmable timer with a wide voltage range is required. Compare the 10,500 ns propagation delay against system timing requirements. Consider the SOIC-14 footprint for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 4 mA output drive capability meets the load requirements of the connected circuitry.

Part Context

The CD4541BMT is the standard reel variant of this timer family. The CD4541BM96 denotes a specific packaging or procurement configuration within the CD4541 series. This series belongs to the broader CD4000/CD4500 CMOS logic families known for high noise immunity and wide operating voltage ranges.

Replacement Considerations

The CD4541BMT is a direct functional equivalent from Texas Instruments. Other manufacturers such as National Semiconductor and Harris Corporation produced compatible parts under the same CD4541BM designation. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
