MM74HC4538
Dual Retriggerable Monostable Multivibrator
General Description
The MM74HC4538 high speed monostable multivibrator
(one shots) is implemented in advanced silicon-gate
CMOS technology. They feature speeds comparable to low
power Schottky TTL circuitry while retaining the low power
and high noise immunity characteristic of CMOS circuits.
Each multivibrator features both a negative, A, and a posi-
tive, B, transition triggered input, either of which can be
used as an inhibit input. Also included is a clear input that
when taken low resets the one shot. The MM74HC4538 is
retriggerable. That is, it may be triggered repeatedly while
their outputs are generating a pulse and the pulse will be
extended.
Pulse width stability over a wide range of temperature and
supply is achieved using linear CMOS techniques. The out-
put pulse equation is simply: PW
=
0.7(R)(C) where PW is
in seconds, R is in ohms, and C is in farads. This device is
pin compatible with the CD4528, and the CD4538 one
shots. All inputs are protected from damage due to static
discharge by diodes to V
CC
and ground.
