The Electronics Bench

This line of products is geared towards the electronics hobbyist. Each integrated circuit is created with the express purpose of relieving some of the peripheral design burden from you. Circuits are provided to drive piezo buzzers and LEDs, to interface to mechanical switches, and to provide stable timing signals.

ELM410 - Triple Debounce Circuit Data Sheet 
pdf
410 Internal pullups simplify the connection of up to three mechanical switches to this device. Each independent circuit provides 25ms of debouncing on both pickup and dropout. A very handy device for interfacing to almost any logic circuit.
Available in: 8-pin PDIP $8.00 CDN, 8-pin SOIC $9.50 CDN



ELM411 - Debounce Circuit with Latch Data Sheet 
pdf
411 Similar to the ELM410, but one of the outputs toggle on and off with each press of a momentary pushbutton. The other two circuits simply provide inverted, debounced outputs.
Available in: 8-pin PDIP $8.00 CDN, 8-pin SOIC $9.50 CDN



ELM412 - Piezo Element Driver Data Sheet 
pdf
412 Ever need to simply turn a piezo buzzer on and off? The ELM412 provides all of the logic to drive a buzzer for you. It has one pin control, and digital selection of eight different operating frequencies. A push-pull output stage is used to provide high output power, even with a 3V supply.
Available in: 8-pin PDIP $8.00 CDN, 8-pin SOIC $9.50 CDN



ELM413 - LED Driver Data Sheet 
pdf
413 A handy device for driving either single or two colour LEDs, based on the state of an input. An auxiliary (delayed) output is provided for sequentially enabling other circuits after 0.1 to 5 seconds. This self contained circuit generates its own timing signals, and can directly drive most LEDs using only a single resistor.

ELM415 - Up/Down Interface Data Sheet 
pdf
415 Connect two pushbuttons to this IC, label one "Up" and the other one "Down", then tie the outputs to your favourite digital potentiometer or counter circuit. All of the logic for switch debouncing, up/down encoding, count pulsing and inversion, and even an auto-repeat function are included in this circuit. Very handy, with many possibilities.

ELM440 - 60Hz Generator Data Sheet 
pdf
440 This circuit generates both 60Hz and 1Hz from a common 3.58MHz NTSC TV crystal. A synchronizing input is also provided for locking the output to a 60Hz line frequency signal if available (recommended for long-term stability). Switching between sync-lock and free-running is automatic. Handy for battery-backed clock circuits.
Available in: 8-pin PDIP $8.00 CDN, 8-pin SOIC $9.50 CDN



ELM446 - 50Hz Generator Data Sheet 
pdf
446 This chip also uses a 3.58MHz NTSC television crystal to generate complementary 50Hz outputs as well as a 1Hz output. Greatly simplifies many timekeeping tasks as the 20ms period is often handier for calculations than 16.67ms. This circuit does not have a sync-lock input.
Available in: 8-pin PDIP $8.00 CDN, 8-pin SOIC $9.50 CDN



ELM380 - Battery Charger Timer Data Sheet 
pdf
380 A single pushbutton press initiates either an eight or a fourteen hour timing cycle for charging Nickel Cadmium batteries. If desired, the period can also be programmed in one hour increments. Requires a full-wave rectified 60Hz signal for timing.
Available in: 8-pin PDIP $8.00 CDN, 8-pin SOIC $9.50 CDN



ELM381 - 60Hz Long Interval Counter Data Sheet 
pdf
381 Reduce circuit board clutter when trying to obtain those very long time delays. The ELM381 provides 1 hour to 1 week periods using a 60Hz clock input. Digitally select one of four desired periods, apply a line frequency signal to the Schmitt clock input, and use the high current outputs to drive your circuit.

ELM382 - 50Hz Long Interval Counter Data Sheet 
pdf
382 Reduce circuit board clutter when trying to obtain those very long time delays. The ELM382 provides 1 hour to 1 week periods using a 50Hz clock input. Digitally select one of four desired periods, apply a line frequency signal to the Schmitt clock input, and use the high current outputs to drive your circuit.
Available in: 8-pin PDIP $8.00 CDN, 8-pin SOIC $9.50 CDN



ELM460 - Impossible Oscillator Data Sheet 
pdf
460 This integrated circuit uses no external timing components to generate signals with periods from 0.1 seconds to 10 minutes. Timing is digitally selected via four input pins, and complementary output signals are provided. It doesn't have as much output drive as a 555, but sure is much easier to use.
