DM96S02
Operation Notes
TIMING
1. An external resistor (R
X
) and an external capacitor (CX)
are required as shown in the Logic Diagram. The value
of R
X
may vary from 1.0 kΩ to 2.0 MΩ (DM96S02).
2. The value of C
X
may vary from 0 to any necessary
value available. If however, the capacitor has significant leakage relative t o V
CC/RX
the timing equat ions
may not represent the pulse width obtained.
3. Polarized capacitors ma y be used d irectly. The (+) terminal of a polarized capacitor is connected to pin 1(15),
the (−) terminal to pin 2(14) and R
X
. Pin 1(15) will
remain positive with respect to pin 2(14) during the timing cycle. However, during quiescent (non-triggered)
conditions, pin 1(15) may go negative with r espect to
pin 2(14) depending on values of R
X
and VCC. for val-
ues of R
X
≥ 10 kΩ the maximum amount of capacitor
reverse polarity, pin 1(15) negative wit h respect to pin
2(14) is 500 mV. Most tantalum electrolytic capacitors
are rated for safe reve rse bias operation up to 5% of
their working forward voltage ra ting; therefor e, capacitors having a rating of 10 WVdc or higher should be
used with the DM96S02 when R
X
≥ 10 kΩ.
4. The output pulse width t
W
for RX ≥ 10 kΩ and CX ≥
1000 pF is determined as follows:
t
W
= 0.55 RXC
X
Where RX is in kΩ, CX is in pF, t is in ns or RTX is in kΩ,
CX is in µF, t is in ms.
5. The output pulse width for R
X
< 10 kΩ or CX < 1000 pF
should be determined from pulse width versus C
X
or
R
X
graphs.
6. To obtain variable pulse width by remote trim ming, the
following circuit is recommended:
7. Under any operating condition, C
X
and RX (Min) must
be kept as close to the circui t as possible to min imize
stray capacitance and reduce noise pickup.
8. V
CC
and ground wiri ng should conform to good high
frequency standards so that switching transients on
V
CC
and ground leads do not cause interaction
between one shots. Use of a 0.01 µF to 0.1µF bypass
capacitor between V
CC
and ground located near the
circuit is recommended.
TRIGGERING
1. The minimum negative pulse width into I
0 is 8.0 ns; the
minimum positive pulse width into I1 is 12 ns.
2. Input signals to the DM96S 02 exhibiting slow or noisy
transitions should use the positive trigger input I1 which
contains a Schmitt trigger.
3. When non-retriggerable operation is required, i.e.,
when input triggers are to be ignored duri ng quasi-stable state, input latching is used to inhibit retriggering.
4. An overriding active LOW l evel direct cle ar is provi ded
on each multivibrator. By applying a LOW to the clear,
any timing cycle can be termina ted or any new cycle
inhibited until the LOW reset input is removed. Trigger
inputs will not produce spikes in the output when the
reset is held LOW. A LOW-to-HIGH transition o n C
D
will not trigger the DM96S02. If the CD input goes HIGH
coincident with a trigger transition, the circuit will
respond to the trigger.
