General Description
The VHC221A is an advanced high speed CMOS
Monostable Multivibrator fabricated with silicon gate
CMOS technology. It achieves the high speed operation
similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low power dissipation. Each multivibrator 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 VHC221A can be
triggered on the positive transition of the clear while A is
held LOW and B is held HIGH. The VHC221A is nonretriggerable, and therefore cannot be retriggered until
the output pulse times out. The output pulse width is
determined by the equation:
PW = (Rx)(Cx)
where,
PW is in seconds, R is in ohms, and C is in farads.
Limits for R
External capacitor, C
External resistors, R
An input protection circuit ensures that 0 to 7V can be
applied to the input pins without regard to the supply
voltage. This device can be used to interface 5V to 3V
systems and two supply systems such as battery back
up. This circuit prevents device destruction due to mismatched supply and input voltages.

If the supply voltage is turned off, Cx discharges mainly
through the internal (parasitic) diode. If Cx is sufficiently
large and V
drops rapidly, there will be some possibil-
CC
ity of damaging the IC through in rush current or latchup. If the capacitance of the supply voltage filter is large
enough and V
drops slowly, the in rush current is
CC
automatically limited and damage to the IC is avoided.
The maximum value of forward current through the para-
sitic diode is ±20 mA. In the case of a large Cx, the limit
of fall time of the supply voltage is determined as follows:
t
(V
f
(t
supply voltage reaching 0.4 V
– 0.7) Cx / 20mA
CC
is the time between the supply voltage turn off and the
f
CC
)
In the event a system does not satisfy the above condition, an external clamping diode (Dx) is needed to
protect the IC from rush current.

The external capacitor (Cx) is fully charged to V

the Q

Rx/Cx node are in the off state. Two comparators that
relate to the timing of the output pulse, and two reference voltage supplies turn off. The total supply current is only leakage current.
2. Trigger Operation
Trigger operation is effective in any of the following
three cases. First, the condition where the A
LOW, and B input has a rising signal; second, where
the B input is HIGH, and the A input has a falling signal; and third, where the A
input is HIGH, and the CLR
