Operating Voltage 2V to 16V 4V to 15V The ICM7242 may be used for a very low frequency square wave reference. For this application the timing components Operating Temperature Range -25 ° C to 85 ° C 0 ° C to 70 ° C are more convenient than those that would be required by a Supply Current, VDD = 5V 0.7mA (Max) 7mA (Max) 555 timer. For very low frequencies, devices may be cascaded (see Figure 3).

MONOSTABLE OPERATION applications include injection molding machine controllers, The ICM7242 is superior in all respects to the 2242 except phonograph record production machines, automatic for initial accuracy and oscillator stability. This is primarily sequencers (no metal contacts or moving parts), milling due to the fact that high value p-resistors have been used on machine controllers, process timers, automatic lubrication the ICM7242 to provide the comparator timing points. systems, etc. Sequence Timing • Process Control • Machine Automation • Electro-Pneumatic Drivers • Multi Operation (Serial or Parallel Controlling) FN2866 Rev 5.00 Page 5 of 11 September 14, 2015
