Timer IC is accurate, easy to use

The TS3001 timer IC uses only 1-µA supply current, claimed 15 times less than its closest competitor. The device is simple to program, and accurate. The part’s timer frequency is set with just one resistor.

The device’s frequency-out period drift is a very low 0.021%/°C. Additional specs include a supply voltage operation of 0.9 to 1.8 V and a PWMOUT duty cycle range of 12% to 90%. (From $1.14 ea/1,000 — available now.)
