DESCRIPTION:
The LS7210 is a monolithic MOS integrated circuit programmable
digital timer that can generate a delay in the range of 6ms to infinity.
The delay is programmed by 5 binary weighted input bits in combina-
tion with the time base provided. The chip can be operated in four
different modes: Delayed Operate, Delayed Release, Dual Delay
and One Shot. These modes are selected by the control inputs A
and B.
INPUT/OUTPUT DESCRIPTION:
OSCILLATOR Input
(Pin 5)
The frequency of the internal oscillator is set by an RC network con-
nected to the OSC input, as shown in Figure 2. The nominal os-
cillator frequency, f, at room temperature is given by f
≈
1/RC where R
values range from a minimum of 47K
to a maximum 3M
.
NOTE:
Oscillation accuracy from chip to chip for a fixed value of RC,
is + 10%. (Parts can supplied to tighter tolerances.)
EXTERNAL CLOCK Input
(Pin 6)
If the internal oscillator is not used, the chip can be driven by an ex-
ternal clock applied to this input.
CLOCK SELECT Input
(Pin 4)
The internal oscillator or the external clock is selected by the proper
logic level applied to this input. A logic 1 selects the external clock
and logic 0 selects the internal oscillator. (See Note 1)
TRIGGER Input
(Pin 3)
A positive or a negative transition at the trigger input initiates a delay
in turning on or off the output. A negative transition always turns on
the output with or without delay depending on the selected mode. A
positive transition at the trigger input always turns off the output (with
the exception of one-shot mode) with or without delay depending on
the selected mode. The delay is a function of the time base fre-
quency and the weighting factor programmed at the weighting bit in-
puts. The trigger input is clocked into the input latch with the neg-
ative edge of the selected time base clock. All timings begin after the
latch has been set up. (See Note 1)
WEIGHTING FACTOR Inputs, WB0-WB4
(Pins 12-8)
A delay from the trigger input to the output is programmed by ap-
plying 1's complement binary weighted numbers at these 5 inputs.
(See Note 1) The exact equation for the delay is:

Example
: For a weighting factor of 25, inputs WB4, WB3, and
WB0 should be programmed to logic 0.
MODE SELECT Inputs A, B
(Pins 2, 1)
The chip can be programmed to operate in four different modes
by applying the logic levels to inputs A and B as indicated in
Table 2. The mode select inputs are clocked into the input latch-
es with the negative edge of the time base clock. These inputs
should not be changed while a delay timing is in progress. (See
Note 1)

OUT Output
(Pin 13)
The output is an open drain FET. To obtain proper switching of
the output between Logic 0 and 1 levels, an external pull down re-
sistor to V
DD
must be used. If the output is used only as a current
source, no such pull down is needed. The output is logically in-
verted with respect to the trigger input.
