Product Overview

The TLC552 is a Texas Instruments dual LinCMOS timer for Signal_Chain designs requiring timer, trigger, threshold, discharge, and output-drive functions. It is available in SOIC (D)-14 and PDIP (N)-14 package options, giving assembly choices for surface-mount and through-hole layouts.

Recommended operation covers a 1 V to 18 V supply range, with the TLC552C characterized over 0 to 70 °C free-air temperature. Absolute maximum ratings include 18 V supply voltage, input voltage from -0.3 V to VDD, -65 to 150 °C storage temperature, and ESD protection up to 2000 V by MIL-STD-883C Method 3105.2.

Electrical data spans 1 V, 2 V, 5 V, 15 V, and 18 V operation. At 5 V, threshold and trigger levels are 3.3 V typical and 1.66 V typical, respectively, with 340 µA typical supply current. Timing data includes 1% typical initial timing interval error, 0.1 %/V typical supply-voltage sensitivity, 20 ns typical rise time, 15 ns typical fall time, and 1.2 MHz typical astable frequency under the stated test conditions.
