Dual precision monostable
multivibrator
BU4538B
The BU4538B is a monostable multivibrator that can be reset and retriggered. It is triggered from either edge of an
input pulse. As the output pulse width and accuracy are determined by the external timing constants Cx and Rx, a
wide range of accurate output pulse widths is available. Linear CMOS technology makes it possible to control the
output pulse width with greater accuracy. Determination is made based on t
WOUT = Rx · Cx throughout the entire
power supply voltage range, eliminating the necessity for other coefficients.
•
Features
1) Low power dissipation.
2) Wide range of operating power supply voltages.
3) High input impedance.
4) High fan-out.
5) Direct drive of 2 L-TTL inputs and 1 LS-TTL input.
