The DM74LS123 is a dual retriggerable monostable multivi-
brator capable of generating output pulses from a few nano-
seconds to extremely long duration up to 100% duty cycle.
Each device has three inputs permitting the choice of either
leading edge or trailing edge triggering. Pin (A) is an active-
low transition trigger input and pin (B) is an active-high tran-
sition trigger input. The clear (CLR) input terminates the out-
put pulse at a predetermined time independent of the timing
components. The clear input also serves as a trigger input
when it is pulsed with a low level pulse transition (ß). To
obtain the best trouble free operation from this device
please read the operating rules as well as the NSC one-shot
application notes carefully and observe recommendations.

Functional Description
The basic output pulse width is determined by selection of
an external resistor (R ) and capacitor (C ). Once triggered,

the basic pulse width may be extended by retriggering the
gated active-low transition or active-high transition inputs or
be reduced by use of the active-low or CLEAR input. Retrig-
gering to 100% duty cycle is possible by application of an
input pulse train whose cycle time is shorter than the output
cycle time such that a continuous ‘‘HIGH’’ logic state is
maintained at the ‘‘Q’’ output.
