Key Features
- 24-stage binary ripple counter with outputs tapped from the last 7 stages, providing selectable divide ratios up to 2^24 from a single IC
- Wide supply voltage range (3 V to 18 V) and CMOS 4000-series compatibility for easy integration in battery-powered and mixed-voltage timing designs
- 16-pin SOIC package with 2 MHz maximum input frequency, suitable for low-power clock division and precision long-duration timing circuits
Applications
The CD4521BM is used in clock division, frequency scaling, and long-interval timer circuits in industrial and consumer electronics. Its 24-stage binary counter architecture allows generation of very long time delays from a high-frequency oscillator, making it ideal for real-time clock dividers, programmable timers, and frequency synthesis pre-scalers. The wide supply range and low quiescent current suit battery-operated portable instruments and remote sensor nodes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many divider stages does the CD4521BM have?
The CD4521BM contains 24 binary divider stages arranged as an up-counter. Outputs from the last 7 stages are externally accessible, allowing the designer to select divide ratios of 2^18 through 2^24 depending on the application's required output frequency.
What is the maximum input frequency the CD4521BM can handle?
The CD4521BM supports a maximum input clock frequency of 2 MHz (2,000,000 Hz) at nominal supply voltage. This makes it suitable for dividing standard crystal oscillator frequencies down to audio-range or sub-Hz output frequencies for timing and control circuits.
What supply voltage range does the CD4521BM support?
As a member of the CMOS 4000-series logic family, the CD4521BM operates over a wide supply voltage range of 3 V to 18 V. This flexibility allows it to work directly with 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V system power rails without additional level shifting.
What package does the CD4521BM use?
The CD4521BM is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, identified by JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G16. The surface-mount SOIC footprint is widely compatible with standard PCB assembly processes and is suitable for compact board designs.
