Determined by external resistors and capacitors (wide range possible)
Output Drive Current
Up to 200 mA
Operating Voltage
4.5V to 16V (typical)
Power Consumption
Low power consumption
Output Options
Open-drain outputs for flexibility in interfacing with other circuits
Trigger and Reset Inputs
Each timer has dedicated trigger and reset inputs for control
Package
Typically DIP-14 or SOIC-14
