Product data sheet
1. General description
The 74HC4538; 74HCT4538 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 74HC4538; 74HCT4538 are dual retriggerable-resettable monostable multivibrators.
Each multivibrator has an active LOW trigger/retrigger input (nA), an active HIGH
trigger/retrigger input (nB), an overriding active LOW direct reset input (nCD), an output
(nQ) and its complement (nQ), and two pins (nREXT/CEXT and nCEXT) for connecting
the external timing components C_EXT and R_EXT. Typical pulse width variation over the
specified temperature range is ±0.2 %.
The multivibrator may be triggered by either the positive or the negative edges of the input
pulse. The duration and accuracy of the output pulse are determined by the external
timing components C_EXT and R_EXT. The output pulse width (t_W) is equal to
0.7 × R_EXT × C_EXT. The linear design techniques guarantee precise control of the output
pulse width. A LOW level at nCD terminates the output pulse immediately. Schmitt trigger
action on pins nA and nB makes the circuit highly tolerant of slower rise and fall times.
