DESCRIPTION
The U74HC123 is high-speed Si-gate CMOS device and is pin
compatible with low power Schottky TTL (LSTTL).
The U74HC123 is a dual retriggerable monostable
multivibrator with output pulse width control by three methods.
The basic pulse time is programmed by selection of an external
resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT).
Once triggered, the basic output pulse width may be extended
TSSOP-16
by retriggering the gated active LOW-going edge input( n A ) or
the active HIGH-going edge input (nB). By repeating this process,
the output pulse period (nQ=HIGH, n Q =LOW) can be made as long as desired. Alternatively an output delay can be
terminated at any time by a LOW-going edge on input nRD , which also inhibits the triggering.
An internal connection from nRD to the input gates makes it possible to trigger the circuit by a positive-going
signal at input nRD as shown in the function table. The basic output pulse width is essentially determined by the
values of the external timing components REXT and CEXT.
Schmitt-trigger action in the n A and nB inputs, makes the circuit highly tolerant to slower input rise and fall
times.

FEATURES
* DC triggered from active HIGH or active LOW inputs
* Retriggerable for very long pulses up to 100% duty factor
* Direct reset terminates output pulse

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Timing component connections
The basic output pulse width is essentially determined by the values of the external timing components REXT and
CEXT.
Power-up considerations
When the monostable is powered-up it may produce an output pulse, with a pulse width defined by the values of
REXT and CEXT, this output can be eliminated using the circuit below.

APPLICATION INFORMATION(Cont.)
Power-down considerations
A large capacitor (CEXT) may cause problems when powering-down the monostable due to the energy stored in
this capacitor. When a system containing this device is powered-down or a rapid decrease of VCC to zero occurs, the
monostable may substain damage, due to the capacitor discharging through the input protection diodes. To avoid
this possibility, use a damping diode (DEXT) preferably a germanium or Schottky type diode able to withstand large
current surges and connect as shown below.
