ICM7216B, ICM7216D
May 2001
8-Digit, Multi-Function,
Frequency Counters/Timers
Description
The ICM7216B is a fully integrated Timer Counters with LED
display drivers. They combine a high frequency oscillator, a
decade timebase counter, an 8-decade data counter and
latches, a 7-segment decoder, digit multiplexers and 8-
segment and 8-digit drivers which directly drive large
multiplexed LED displays. The counter inputs have a
maximum frequency of 10MHz in frequency and unit counter
modes and 2MHz in the other modes. Both inputs are digital
inputs. In many applications, amplification and level shifting
will be required to obtain proper digital signals for these
inputs.
The ICM7216B can function as a frequency counter, period
counter, frequency ratio (f
A
/f
B
) counter, time interval counter
or as a totalizing counter. The counter uses either a 10MHz
or 1MHz quartz crystal timebase. For period and time
interval, the 10MHz timebase gives a 0.1碌s resolution. In
period average and time interval average, the resolution can
be in the nanosecond range. In the frequency mode, the
user can select accumulation times of 0.01s, 0.1s, 1s and
10s. With a 10s accumulation time, the frequency can be
displayed to a resolution of 0.1Hz in the least significant
digit. There is 0.2s between measurements in all ranges.
The ICM7216D functions as a frequency counter only, as
described above.
All versions of the ICM7216 incorporate leading zero
blanking. Frequency is displayed in kHz. In the ICM7216B,
time is displayed in
碌s.
The display is multiplexed at 500Hz
with a 12.2% duty cycle for each digit. The ICM7216B and
ICM7216D are designed for common cathode displays with
typical peak segment currents of 12mA. In the display off
mode, both digit and segment drivers are turned off,
enabling the display to be used for other functions.
