DM74LS221 Dual Non-Retriggerable One-Shot with Clear and Complementary Outputs

DM74LS221 Dual Non-Retriggerable One-Shot

with Clear and Complementary Outputs

General Description

The DM74LS221 is a dual monostable multivibrator with

Schmitt-trigger input. E ach devi ce has three inp uts permi t-

ting the choice of either leading-edge or trailing-e dge trig-

gering. Pin (A) is an active-LOW trigger transition input and

pin (B) is an active-HI GH transition Schmitt-trigger input

that allows jitter free triggering for inputs with transition

rates as slow as 1 volt/second. This provides the input with

excellent noise immunity. Additionally an internal latching

circuit at the input stage also provid es a high immunity to

V

CC

noise. The clear (CLR) input can terminate the output

pulse at a predetermined tim e independent of the timing

components. This (CLR) input also serves as a trigger

input when it is pulsed with a low level pulse transition

(

child Semiconductor one-shot application notes carefully

DM74LS221 Dual Non-Retriggerable One-Shot

Functional Description

The basic output pulse width is determined by selection of

an external resistor (R

X

) and capacitor (C

X

). Once trig-

gered, the basic puls e w idth is independent of f urt her i np ut

transitions and is a functio n of the timing compon ents, or it

may be reduced or termin ated by use of the active low

CLEAR input. Stable output pulse width ranging from 30 ns

to 70 seconds is readily obtainable.

Operating Rules

1. An external resistor (R

X

) and an external capacitor

(C

X

) are required for prop er op er ati on . Th e val u e of C

X

may vary from 0 to approxima tely 1000 µF. For small

time constants h igh-grade mica, glass, polyp ropylene,

polycarbonate, or polystyrene material capacitor may

be used. For large time c onst ant s use ta nta lum or spe -

cial aluminum capacitor s. If timing capacitor has leak-

ages approaching 10 0 nA or if stray capacit ance from

either terminal to gr ound is gr eater than 5 0 pF the tim -

ing equations may not repre sent the pulse width the

device generates.

2. When an electrol ytic capa ci to r is us ed for C

X

a switch-

ing diode is often requir ed for standard TTL one-shots

to prevent high inverse leakage current . Thi s switchin g

diode is not need ed for the DM7 4LS221 one- shot and

should not be used.

Furthermore, if a polarized timing capacitor is used on

the DM74LS221, the positive side of the capacitor

should be connected to the “C

EXT

” pin (Figure 1).

3. For C

X

>> 1000 pF, the output pulse width (t

W

) is

defined as follows:

t

W

= KR

X

C

X

where [R

X

is in kΩ]

[C

X

is in pF]

[t

W

is in ns]

K ≈ Ln2 = 0.70

4. The multiplicative factor K is plotted as a function of C

X

for design considerations: (See Figure 4).

5. For C

X

< 1000 pF see F igure 3 for t

W

vs. C

X

family

curves with R

X

as a parameter.

6. To obtain variable pulse widths by remote trim ming,

the following circuit is recommended: (See Figure 2).

7. Output pulse width versus V

CC

and temperatures: Fig-

ure 5 depicts the relationship between pulse width vari-

ation versu s V

CC

. Figure 6 depicts pulse width variation

versus temperatures.

8. Duty cycle is defined as t

W

/T × 100 in percentage, if it

goes above 50% the output pulse width will become

shorter. If the duty cycle varies between LOW and

HIGH values, this causes out put pulse w idth to var y, or

jitter (a function of the R

EXT

only). To reduce jitter, R

EXT

should be as large as possible, for example, with

R

EXT

= 100k jitter is not appreciable until the duty cycle

approaches 90%.

9. Under any operating condition C

X

and R

X

must be kept

as close to the one-shot device pins as possible to min-

imize stray capacitance, to reduce noise pick-up, and

to reduce I-R and Ldi/d t voltage devel oped along th eir

connecting paths. If the lead leng th from C

X

to pins (6)

and (7) or pins (14) an d (15) is greate r than 3 cm, for

example, the output pulse width might be quite different

from values predicte d from the appropriat e equations.

A non-inductive and low capacitive path is necessary to

ensure complete discharge of C

X

in each cycle of its

operation so that the output pulse width will b e accu-

rate.

10. Although the DM74LS221's pin-out is id entical to the

DM74LS123 it should be remembered that they are not

functionally identica l. The DM74LS123 is a retrigger-

able device such that the output is dependent upon the

input transitions when its output “Q” is at the “High”

state. Furthermore, it is recommended for the

DM74LS123 to externally ground the C

EXT

pin for

improved system performance. However, this pin on

the DM74LS221 is not an int ernal connection to the

device gro un d. He nc e , if s u bst i tu tion of an DM 74LS221

onto an DM74LS123 d esi g n la yout w he re the C

EXT

pin

is wired to the ground, the device will not function.

11. V

CC

and ground wiring shoul d conform to good high-

frequency standards and practices so that switching

transients on the V

CC

and ground return leads do not

cause interaction between one-shots. A 0.01 µF to 0.10

µF bypass capacitor (disk ce ramic or monolithic type)

from V

CC

to ground is necessar y on each de vice. Fur-

thermore, the bypass capacitor sho uld be located as

close to the V

CC

-pin as spac e permits.
