UM9151 Pulse Dialer 5V IC DIP-18
The UM9151 IC DIP-18 is an integrated circuit that provides telephone pulse dialing functionality for telecommunication equipment.
It accepts keypad inputs from a standard 4×3 matrix keypad and converts them into corresponding pulse sequences to interface with legacy telephone systems that use pulse dialing.
The IC is housed in a through-hole 18-pin DIP package, making it easy to prototype and integrate into PCB designs.
Features:
- 4 x 3 matrix single contact keyboard.
- Supply voltage range 2.5V to 5V.
- Inexpensive RC oscillator.
- Low power standby mode for redial.
- 22 digit capacity far redial.
- 18 lead dual-in-line package.
- Redial with either • or # key.
- Dialer reset for line power break → 200 msec.
- Pin selectable inter-digital pause (IDP).
- Pin selectable make/break (M/B).
- High speed test capability.
- Direct telephone line operation.
