CD4541 belongs to the 4000 Series CMOS Logic Family of Integrated Circuits (IC’s) constructed with N- and P-channel enhancement mode transistors. CD4541 has an Oscillator/Programmable Timer
CD4541 has a supply voltage range of 5V to 20V, which is much higher than any contemporary logic family. It has buffered output which improves transfer characteristics by providing very high gain. All inputs are protected against static discharge with diodes to VDD and VSS.

CD4541 Features
- Low Symmetrical Output Resistance, Typically 100Ω at VDD = 15V
- Built-In Low-Power RC Oscillator
- Oscillator Frequency Range: DC to 100kHz
- External Clock (Applied to Pin 3) can be Used Instead of Oscillator
- Operates as 2N Frequency Divider or as a SingleTransition Timer
- Standard Symmetrical Output Characteristics
- 100% Tested for Maximum Quiescent Current at 20V
- 5V, 10V, and 15V Parametric Ratings
