LM567 Specifications

Review LM567 electrical specifications, operating conditions and package details.

Package view

Key specifications

The oscillator and phase detectors track an input near the selected center. External filters determine how quickly and selectively the output responds.

Operating supply3.5–8.5 V · 5 V example
Example center909 Hz · nominal
Selected ambient0–70 °C · CN / CM
Detection outputLOW Open collector · add pull-up

ParameterValueConditions / notes
Operating supply3.5–8.5 VRecommended operating table; use 5 V for the example
Selected ambient0 to +70°CCN / CM ordering options
Quiescent supply current7 mA typical; 10 mA maximumRL = 20 kΩ
Activated supply current12 mA typical; 15 mA maximumRL = 20 kΩ
Input resistance15 kΩ minimum; 20 kΩ typicalTone input pin 3
Smallest detected input20 mV RMS typical; 25 mV RMS maximumInput at center frequency; manufacturer IL = 100 mA condition

Detection depends on frequency, amplitude, filtering and the manufacturer test conditions.

Timing and selectivity

External components define the application

ParameterValueConditions / notes
Approximate center frequency1 / (1.1 × R1 × C1)R in ohms; C in farads; result in hertz
Timing resistorPins 5 to 610 kΩ in the example
Timing capacitorPin 6 to ground100 nF in the example
Highest center frequency100 kHz minimum; 500 kHz typical500 kHz is not a guaranteed limit for every unit
Largest detection bandwidth14% typical; 10–18% limitsMaximum-setting test; not the width of every filter network
Fastest on/off cyclingf₀ / 20 typicalReference condition, not instantaneous detection

R/C tolerance shifts the center; filter values and signal amplitude determine the usable detection band.

ParameterValueConditions / notes
Output LOW at 30 mA0.2 V typical; 0.4 V maximum25 mV test input
Output LOW at 100 mA0.6 V typical; 1.0 V maximum25 mV test input
Output leakage0.01 µA typical; 25 µA maximumOutput at 15 V
Output rise / fall time150 ns / 30 ns typicalElectrical test circuit
Example pull-up10 kΩ to +5 VLess than 0.5 mA when LOW
Released outputHIGH through the pull-upThe IC does not actively source that HIGH voltage

Large sink currents increase power dissipation; the lightly loaded example avoids that condition.
