NSC CD4538

CD4538BM/CD4538BC Dual Precision Monostable
General Description
Features
The CD4538B is a dual, precision monostable multivibrator
with independent trigger and reset controls. The device is
retriggerable and resettable, and the control inputs are internally latched. Two trigger inputs are provided to allow either
rising or falling edge triggering. The reset inputs are active
low and prevent triggering while active. Precise control of
output pulse-width has been achieved using linear CMOS
techniques. The pulse duration and accuracy are determined by external components RX and CX. The device does
not allow the timing capacitor to discharge through the timing pin on power-down condition. For this reason, no external protection resistor is required in series with the timing
pin. Input protection from static discharge is provided on all
pins.

Theory of Operation
TL/F/6000 – 4
FIGURE 2
Trigger Operation
via the input trigger without regard to the capacitor voltage.
Thus, propagation delay from trigger to Q is independent of
the value of CX, RX, or the duty cycle of the input waveform.
The block diagram of the CD4538B is shown in Figure 1 ,
with circuit operation following.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2 , before an input trigger occurs,
the monostable is in the quiescent state with the Q output
low, and the timing capacitor CX completely charged to
VDD. When the trigger input A goes from VSS to VDD (while
inputs B and CD are held to VDD) a valid trigger is recognized, which turns on comparator C1 and N-Channel transistor N1 j . At the same time the output latch is set. With
transistor N1 on, the capacitor CX rapidly discharges toward
VSS until VREF1 is reached. At this point the output of comparator C1 changes state and transistor N1 turns off. Comparator C1 then turns off while at the same time comparator
C2 turns on. With transistor N1 off, the capacitor CX begins
to charge through the timing resistor, RX, toward VDD. When
the voltage across CX equals VREF2, comparator C2 changes state causing the output latch to reset (Q goes low) while
at the same time disabling comparator C2. This ends the
timing cycle with the monostable in the quiescent state,
waiting for the next trigger.
A valid trigger is also recognized when trigger input B goes
from VDD to VSS (while input A is at VSS and input CD is at
VDD) k .
It should be noted that in the quiescent state CX is fully
charged to VDD, causing the current through resistor RX to
be zero. Both comparators are ‘‘off’’ with the total device
current due only to reverse junction leakages. An added
feature of the CD4538B is that the output latch is set
Retrigger Operation
The CD4538B is retriggered if a valid trigger occurs l followed by another valid trigger m before the Q output has
returned to the quiescent (zero) state. Any retrigger, after
the timing node voltage at pin 2 or 14 has begun to rise from
VREF1, but has not yet reached VREF2, will cause an increase in output pulse width T. When a valid retrigger is
initiated m , the voltage at T2 will again drop to VREF1 before
progressing along the RC charging curve toward VDD. The
Q output will remain high until time T, after the last valid
retrigger.
Reset Operation
The CD4538B may be reset during the generation of the
output pulse. In the reset mode of operation, an input pulse
on CD sets the reset latch and causes the capacitor to be
fast charged to VDD by turning on transistor Q1 n . When
the voltage on the capacitor reaches VREF2, the reset latch
will clear and then be ready to accept another pulse. If the
CD input is held low, any trigger inputs that occur will be
inhibited and the Q and Q outputs of the output latch will not
change. Since the Q output is reset when an input low level
is detected on the CD input, the output pulse T can be made
significantly shorter than the minimum pulse width specification.
