CD74HC221M96 is an integrated circuit belonging to the Logic - Multivibrator family. It is a two-stage asynchronous digital timer that is used to generate a frequency or a slow pulse or two trains of high-speed pulses, depending on the application. This component can be used in various digital circuits, especially in the circuits that require a train of pulses with varying width of each pulse.

Application Field

The CD74HC221M96 is used in many applications, including pulse modulation, pulse width modulation, pulse sensing, logic tests, and digital logic games. It is also suitable for for generating time delays and switching outputs.

In pulse modulation, this component is used to detect and generate clock signals or to modulate or demodulate pulse signals. This can help designers control the pulse width of signals, which is important in many communication applications.

In pulse width modulation, this component is used to generate a variable pulse width. In this application, the output is a series of pulses with a variable duty cycle, depending on the desired pulse width.

In pulse sensing, this component is used to detect pulse edges and to convert them into signals that can be processed by a digital system.

The CD74HC221M96 is also used for testing digital logic functions, such as memory and other circuits. It can also be used in digital logic games as a timer or a counter.

Finally, this component can be used for generating time delays, in the cases when regular time intervals and speed of the circuit is necessary. It can also be used for switching outputs, for example in the Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC).

Working Principle

The CD74HC221M96 has two stages: the counter and the control. The counter stage is a synchronous type, while the control stage is an asynchronous type. When power is applied, the counter stage first gives an output pulse. This pulse is used to activate the control stage. The control stage then serves as the output and provides an output train.

The timing of the two stages can be adjusted in order to get the desired output pulse width. The timer can be configured to produce a series of equally spaced pulses (free running timer), or to generate pulses after each other until the output is inhibited (non-free running timer).

The CD74HC221M96 can be used in logic circuits that require a reset input, thus, it functions as a multivibrator. The reset input is used to reset the counter stage and it also finds applications in timing and frequency control. The benefit of this component is that it doesn’t require external components and it generates a uniform and stable output pulse train.

In conclusion, the CD74HC221M96 is a two-stage digital timer that is suitable for various applications. It is an integrated component and doesn’t require external components. The timer is mainly used for pulse modulation, pulse width modulation, pulse sensing, logic tests and digital logic games. It is also used for generating time delays and switching outputs. The timer is composed of a counter stage and a control stage and can be adjusted to generate either a free running timer or a non-free running timer.
