MM74HC123A
Dual Retriggerable Monostable Multivibrator
General Description
Features
The MM74HC123A high speed monostable multivibrators
(one shots) utilize advanced silicon-gate CMOS technol-
ogy. They feature speeds comparable to low power Schot-
tky TTL circuitry while retaining the low power and high
noise immunity characteristic of CMOS circuits.
■ Typical propagation delay: 25 ns
■ Wide power supply range: 2V–6V
■ Low quiescent current: 80 µA maximum (74HC Series)
■ Low input current: 1 µA maximum
■ Fanout of 10 LS-TTL loads
Each multivibrator features both a negative, A, and a posi-
tive, B, transition triggered input, either of which can be
used as an inhibit input. Also included is a clear input that
when taken low resets the one shot. The MM74HC123A
can be triggered on the positive transition of the clear while
A is held LOW and B is held HIGH.
■ Simple pulse width formula T = RC
■ Wide pulse range: 400 ns to ∞ (typ)
■ Part to part variation: 5% (typ)
■ Schmitt Trigger A & B inputs allow rise and fall times to
be as slow as one second
The MM74HC123A is retriggerable. That is it may be trig-
gered repeatedly while their outputs are generating a pulse
and the pulse will be extended.
Pulse width stability over a wide range of temperature and
supply is achieved using linear CMOS techniques. The out-
put pulse equation is simply: PW = (REXT) (CEXT); where
PW is in seconds, R is in ohms, and C is in farads. All
inputs are protected from damage due to static discharge
by diodes to VCC and ground.
