DESCRIPTION
The 74AHC/AHCT123A are high-speed Si-gate CMOS
devices and are pin compatible with Low power Schottky
TTL (LSTTL). They are specified in compliance with
JEDEC standard no.7A.
The74AHC/AHCT123Aaredualretriggerablemonostable
multivibrators with output pulse width control by three
methods. The basic pulse time is programmed by
selection of an external resistor (REXT) and capacitor
(CEXT). The external resistor and capacitor are normally
connected as shown in Fig.6.
Once triggered, the basic output pulse width may be
extendedbyretriggeringthegatedactiveLOW-goingedge
input (nA) or the active HIGH-going edge input (nB).
By repeating this process, the output pulse period
(nQ = HIGH, nQ = LOW) can be made as long as desired.
Alternativelyan outputdelay canbe terminatedat anytime
by a LOW-going edge on input nRD, which also inhibits the
triggering.
An internal connection from nRDto the input gate makes it
possible to trigger the circuit by a positive-going signal at
input nRD as shown in the function table. Figs 8 and 9
illustrate pulse control by retriggering and early reset. The
basic output pulse width is essentially determined by the
value of the external timing components REXT and CEXT.
When CEXT ≥10 nF, the typical output pulse width is
definedas: tW=R
EXT ×CEXT wheretW= pulse widthin ns;
REXT = external resistor in kΩ; CEXT = external capacitor
in pF. Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs makes the circuit
highly tolerant to slower input rise and fall times. The ‘123’
is identical to the ‘423’ but can be triggered via the reset
input.
