Dual precision monostable multivibrator
Product specification
HEF4538B
MSI
DESCRIPTION
The HEF4538B is a dual retriggerable-resettable
monostable multivibrator. Each multivibrator has an active
LOW trigger/retrigger input (I0), an active HIGH
trigger/retrigger input (I1), an overriding active LOW direct
reset input (CD), an output (O) and its complement (O),
and two pins (CTC,(1) RCTC) for connecting the external
timing components Ct and Rt. Typical pulse width variation
over temperature range is ± 0,2%.
The HEF4538B may be triggered by either the positive or
the negative edges of the input pulse and will produce an
accurate output pulse with a pulse width range of 10 µs to
infinity. The duration and accuracy of the output pulse are
determined by the external timing components Ct and Rt.
The output pulse width (T) is equal to Rt × Ct. The linear
design techniques in LOCMOS guarantee precise control
of the output pulse width.
A LOW level at CD terminates the output pulse
immediately. Schmitt-trigger action in the trigger inputs
makes the circuit highly tolerant to slower rise and fall
times.
