The MC54/74HC4538A is identical in pinout to the MC14538B. The device
inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs; with pullup resistors,
they are compatible with LSTTL outputs.
This dual monostable multivibrator may be triggered by either the positive
or the negative edge of an input pulse, and produces a precision output
pulse over a wide range of pulse widths. Because the device has conditioned
trigger inputs, there are no trigger–input rise and fall time restrictions. The
output pulse width is determined by the external timing components, Rx and
Cx. The device has a reset function which forces the Q output low and the Q
output high, regardless of the state of the output pulse circuitry.
• Unlimited Rise and Fall Times Allowed on the Trigger Inputs
• Output Pulse is Independent of the Trigger Pulse Width
• ± 10% Guaranteed Pulse Width Variation from Part to Part (Using the
Same Test Jig)
• Output Drive Capability: 10 LSTTL Loads
• Outputs Directly Interface to CMOS, NMOS and TTL
• Operating Voltage Range: 3.0 to 6.0 V
• Low Input Current: 1.0 µA
• High Noise Immunity Characteristic of CMOS Devices
• In Compliance with the Requirements Defined by JEDEC Standard
No. 7A
• Chip Complexity: 145 FETs or 36 Equivalent Gates

*The maximum allowable values of Rx and Cx are a function of the leakage of capacitor Cx, the leakage of the HC4538A, and leakage due to
board layout and surface resistance. For most applications, Cx/Rx should be limited to a maximum value of 10 µF/1.0 MΩ. V alues of Cx > 1.0 µF
may cause a problem during power down (see Power Down Considerations). Susceptibility to externally induced noise signals may occur for
Rx > 1.0 MΩ.
**The HC4538A will function at 2.0 V but for optimum pulse width stability, VCC should be above 3.0 V.
NOTE: Information on typical parametric values can be found in Chapter 2 of the Motorola High–Speed CMOS Data Book (DL129/D).
This device contains protection
circuitry to guard against damage
due to high static voltages or electric
fields. However, precautions must
be taken to avoid applications of any
voltage higher than maximum rated
voltages to this high–impedance circuit. For proper operation, Vin and
V
out
should be constrained to the
range GND v (Vin or V
out
) v VCC.
Unused inputs must always be
tied to an appropriate logic voltage
level (e.g., either GND or VCC).
Unused outputs must be left open.
