1. General description
The 74HC123; 74HCT123 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.
The 74HC123; 74HCT123 are dual retriggerable monostable multivibrators with output
pulse width control by three methods:
1. The basic pulse is programmed by selection of an external resistor (REXT) and
capacitor (CEXT).
2. Once triggered, the basic output pulse width may be extended by retriggering the
gated active LOW-going edge 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. Alternatively an output delay can be terminated at any time by a
LOW-going edge on input nRD, which also inhibits the triggering.
3. An internal connection from nRD to the input gates makes it possible to trigger the
circuit by a HIGH-going signal at input nRD as shown in the function table.
Schmitt-trigger action in the nA and nB inputs, makes the circuit highly tolerant to slower
input rise and fall times.
The 74HC123; 74HCT123 are identical to the 74HC423; 74HCT423 but can be triggered
via the reset input.
2. Features

Dual retriggerable monostable multivibrator with reset
[1] tpd is the same as tPHL and tPLH; tt is the same as tTHL and tTLH
[2] For other REXT and CEXT combinations see Figure 7. If CEXT > 10 nF, the next formula is valid.
tW=K×REXT ×CEXT, where:
tW= typical output pulse width in ns;
REXT = external resistor in kΩ;
CEXT = external capacitor in pF;
K = constant = 0.45 for VCC = 5.0 V and 0.55 for VCC = 2.0 V.
The inherent test jig and pin capacitance at pins 15 and 7 (nREXT/CEXT) is approximately 7 pF.
[3] The time to retrigger the monostable multivibrator depends on the values of REXT and CEXT. The output pulse width will only be
extended when the time between the active-going edges of the trigger input pulses meets the minimum retrigger time. If CEXT >10 pF,
the next formula (at VCC = 5.0 V) for the setup time of a retrigger pulse is valid:
trtrig = 30 + 0.19 ×REXT ×CEXT0.9 +13×REXT1.05, where:
trtrig = retrigger time in ns;
CEXT = external capacitor in pF; REXT = external resistor in kΩ.
The inherent test jig and pin capacitance at pins 15 and 7 (nREXT/CEXT) is 7 pF.
[4] When the device is powered-up, initiate the device via a reset pulse, when CEXT <50pF.
[5] CPD is used to determine the dynamic power dissipation (PD in µW).

12. Application information
12.1 Timing component connections
The basic output pulse width is essentially determined by the values of the external timing
components REXT and CEXT.
12.2 Power-up considerations
When the monostable is powered-up it may produce an output pulse, with a pulse width
defined by the values of REXT and CEXT. This output pulse can be eliminated using the
circuit shown in Figure 14.
(1) For minimum noise generation it is recommended to ground pins 6 (2CEXT) and 14 (1CEXT)
externally to pin 8 (GND).

12.3 Power-down considerations
A large capacitor CEXT may cause problems when powering-down the monostable due to
the energy stored in this capacitor. When a system containing this device is
powered-down or a rapid decrease of VCC to zero occurs, the monostable may sustain
damage, due to the capacitor discharging through the input protection diodes. To avoid
this possibility, use a damping diode (DEXT) preferably a germanium or Schottky type
diode able to withstand large current surges and connect as shown in Figure 15.
