APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)

Many applications, such as computers, require signals for initializing conditions during start-up. Other

applications, such as test equipment, require activation of test signals in sequence. These timing circuits can be

connected to provide such sequential control. The timers can be used in various combinations of astable or

monostable circuit connections, with or without modulation, for extremely flexible waveform control. Figure 22

shows a sequencer circuit with possible applications in many systems, and Figure 23 shows the output

waveforms.
