74HC4538 Dual retriggerable precision monostable multivibrator

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 positive, B, transition triggere.

Features

both a negative, A, and a positive, 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 output 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,.
