Operating Rules
1. An external resistor (RX) and external capacitor (CX)
are required as shown in the Logic Diagram.
2. The value of CX may vary from 0 to any necessary
value available. If, however, the capacitor has leakages
approaching 3.0 µA or if stray capacitance from either
terminal to ground is more than 50 pF, the timing equa-
tions may not represent the pulse width obtained.
3. The output pulse with (t) is defined as follows:
where: RX is in kΩ, CX is in pF
t is in ns
for CX < 103 pF, see Figure 1.
for K vs. CX see Figure 6.
4. If electrolytic type capacitors are to be used, the follow-
ing three configurations are recommended:
1. Use with low leakage capacitors:
The no rmal RC con figuration can b e used pred ict-
ably only if the forward capacitor leakage at 5.0V is
less than 3 µA, and the inverse ca pacitor leakage
at 1.0V is less than 5 µA over the operation al tem-
peratu re range.
R < 0.6 RX (Max)
2. Use with high inverse leakage current electrolytic
capacitors:
The diode in this configuration prevents high
inverse leakage currents through the capacitor by
preventing an i n ver se vo ltage across the cap aci to r.
The use of this configuration is not recommended
with retriggerable operation.
t ≈ 0.3 RCX
3. Use to obtain extended pulse widths:
This configuration ca n be used to obtain extende d
pulse widths, because of th e larger timing resistor
allowed by beta multiplication. Electrolytics with
high inverse leakage currents can be used.
R < RX (0.7) ( hFE Q1 ) o r < 2.5 MΩ, whichever is the
lesser
RX (min) < RY < RX (max)
(5 kΩ ≤ RY ≤ 10 kΩ is recommended)
Q1: NPN silicon transistor with hFE requirements of
above equations, such as 2N5961 or 2N5962.
t ≈ 0.3 RCX
This con figuration is no t recommend ed with retrigg erable ope ra-
tion.
5. To obtain varia ble pulse width by remote trim ming, the
following circuit is recommended:
6. Under any operating condition, CX and RX (min) must
be kept as close to the circuit as possible t o minimize
stray capacitance and reduce noise pickup.
7. Input Trigger Pulse Rules (See Triggering Truth Table)
Input to Pin 5(11) , (Pin 3(13) = HIGH)
Pin 4(12) = LOW
t1, t3 = Min. Positive Input Pulse Width > 40 ns
t2, t4 = Min. Negative Input Pulse Width > 40 ns
Input to Pin 4(12) (Pin 3(13) = HIGH)
Pin 5(11) = HIGH
8. The retriggerable pulse width is calculated as shown
below:
The re trigger pulse width is equ al to the pulse width (t) plus a dela y
time. For pulse widths greater than 500 ns, tW can be approximated as
t. Retrig gering wil l not occu r if the retrigger p ulse come s within ≈ 0.3
CX (ns) aft er t he initial trig ger pulse (i. e. , during th e dischar ge cy c le).
9. Reset Operation—An overriding clear (active LOW
level) is provided on each one shot. By applying a LOW
to the rese t, any ti ming cy cle can be termi nated or any
new cycle inhibited until the LOW reset input is
removed. Trigger inputs will not produce spikes in the
output when the reset is held LOW.
10. VCC and Ground wiring should conform to good high
frequency standards so that switching transients on
VCC and Ground leads do not cause interaction
between one shots. Use of a 0.01 to 0.1 µF bypass
capacitor between VCC and Ground located near the
DM9602 is recommended.
