MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR FEATURES
General Description
Y
Y
Positive- or negative-edge trigger
CD4047B is capable of operating in either the monostable
or astable mode. It requires an external capacitor (between
pins 1 and 3) and an external resistor (between pins 2 and
3) to determine the output pulse width in the monostable
mode, and the output frequency in the astable mode.
Output pulse width independent of trigger pulse dura-
tion

Y
Retriggerable option for pulse width expansion
Long pulse widths possible using small RC components
by means of external counter provision
Fast recovery time essentially independent of pulse
width
Astable operation is enabled by a high level on the astable
input or low level on the astable input. The output frequency
(at 50% duty cycle) at Q and Q outputs is determined by the
timing components. A frequency twice that of Q is available
at the Oscillator Output; a 50% duty cycle is not guaranteed.
