PT8A2516NEX

The PT8A2516NEX is a programmable timer and oscillator that allows different applications to be adapted to specific needs with a wide range of operating frequency and timing options. It is a versatile device that can be embedded into a variety of system designs, ranging from clocks/timers/starters to other application specific designs. The device includes two independent programmable oscillator/timer circuits, providing individual outputs for each. It offers a wide range of operating frequency and timing modes, and can be configured for numerous applications.

The PT8A2516NEX offers a wide range of programmable timing and frequency options. Each oscillator circuit has eight programmable counter stages, and the counting time for each stage can be set to either continuous or one-shot. The frequency output can be adjusted throughout the operating range of the device. Additionally, a variety of timing pulse formats are available, allowing users to configure the device for different applications.

The device operates on a 5V supply voltage and is available in PDIP, SOIC, and TSSOP packages. The device is housed in a 28-pin PDIP package, with the two oscillator circuits arranged in two parallel parts (the first oscillator in pins 4-9 and the second oscillator in pins 12-17). The two oscillators are synchronized, meaning that the regulators ensure that the outputs of both oscillators remain in phase and in frequency.

The PT8A2516NEX is programmable via a simple two-wire serial interface. The first oscillator can be programmed independently from the second oscillator, allowing users to customize the operating parameters for each circuit. The device supports both a three-wire programming mode and a four-wire programming mode. The first mode is used for programming the device in-circuit, while the second mode is used for programming the device in a stand-alone mode.

The PT8A2516NEX is a versatile programmable timer and oscillator that can be used in a variety of applications. It is especially suitable for use in clocks, timers, starters, and other application specific designs. The wide range of operating frequency and timing options allow users to configure the device for a wide range of applications. Moreover, the versatile serial programming interface allows users to easily program the device for specific applications.
