The CD4521BM is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component, specifically a 24-stage frequency divider and oscillator with serial control. It is widely used in various electronic applications and offers several key features. Here is an overview of the CD4521BM along with its main features:
1. Frequency Divider: The CD4521BM acts as a frequency divider, taking an input clock signal and dividing it into 24 separate stages. Each stage divides the frequency by 2, allowing for precise frequency scaling or synchronization.
2. Oscillator: In addition to being a frequency divider, the CD4521BM also includes an internal oscillator. This oscillator allows you to generate a clock signal internally, eliminating the need for an external clock source in certain applications.
3. Serial Control: The CD4521BM can be controlled using a serial input. This means that the frequency division and oscillator settings can be programmed using a simple serial interface, making it easy to integrate into larger electronic systems.
4. External Reset: The IC component also offers an external reset input. This input allows you to reset the internal state and restart the frequency divider or oscillator, providing control and synchronization flexibility.
5. Low Power Consumption: The CD4521BM is designed with low power consumption in mind. This makes it suitable for battery-powered devices or applications that require efficient energy usage.
6. Wide Supply Voltage Range: The IC can operate over a wide supply voltage range, typically from 3V to 15V
