CD4047BC
Low Power Monostable/Astable Multivibrator
General Description
The CD4047B is capable of operating in either the
monostable or astable mode. It requires an external capacitor (between pins 1 and 3) and an external resistor
(between pins 2 and 3) to determine the output pulse width
in the monostable mode, an d the output frequency in the
astable mode.
Astable operation is ena bled by a high lev el o n th e asta bl e
input or low level on the astable
input. The output fre-
quency (at 50% duty cycle) at Q and Q
outputs is determined by the timing c omp onents. A frequency tw ice that of
Q is available at the Oscillator Output; a 50% duty cycle is
not guaranteed.
Monostable operati on is obtained when t he device is triggered by LOW-to-HIGH transition at + trigger input or
HIGH-to-LOW transition at − tri gger input. The devic e can
be retriggered by applying a simulta neous LOW-to-HIGH
transition to both the + trigger and retrigger inputs.
A high level on Reset input resets the outputs Q to LOW, Q
to HIGH.
