MC14536BCP

Programmable Timer / Long-Time Delay Oscillator manufactured by Motorola (onsemi). This highly versatile timing block combines an on-chip stable oscillator core with a 24-stage binary ripple counter and an 8-bit digital selection matrix inside a 16-pin layout. It functions by allowing engineers to hardwire the selection pins to precisely tap into different internal counter stages, dividing the base oscillator frequency down to generate stable, ultra-long hardware time delays spanning from microseconds up to months. It is prominently engineered into commercial security system alarm loops, industrial battery chargers, automated environmental climate controls, and delayed machinery shutdown safety circuits.
