TYPICAL APPLICATION DATA
The output pulse tW is a function of the external
components, C
ext
and R
ext
or C
ext
and R
int
on the LS122.
For values of C
ext
≥ 1000 pF, the output pulse at VCC = 5.0
V and VRC = 5.0 V (see Figures 1, 2, and 3) is given by
tW = K R
ext Cext
where K is nominally 0.45
If C
ext
is on pF and R
ext
is in kΩ then tW is in nanoseconds.
The C
ext
terminal of the LS122 and LS123 is an internal
connection to ground, however for the best system
performance C
ext
should be hard-wired to ground.
Care should be taken to keep R
ext
and C
ext
as close to the
monostable as possible with a minimum amount of
inductance between the R
ext/Cext
junction and the R
ext/Cext
pin. Good groundplane and adequate bypassing should be
designed into the system for optimum performance to ensure
that no false triggering occurs.
It should be noted that the C
ext
pin is internally connected
to ground on the LS122 and LS123, but not on the LS221.
Therefore, if C
ext
is hard-wired externally to ground,
substitution of a LS221 onto a LS123 socket will cause the
LS221 to become non-functional.
The switching diode is not needed for electrolytic
capacitance application and should not be used on the LS122
and LS123.
To find the value of K for C
ext
≥ 1000 pF , refer to Figure 4.
Variations on VCC or VRC can cause the value of K to
change, as can the temperature of the LS123, LS122.
Figures 5 and 6 show the behavior of the circuit shown in
Figures 1 and 2 if separate power supplies are used for V
CC
and VRC. If VCC is tied to VRC, Figure 7 shows how K will
vary with VCC and temperature. Remember, the changes in
R
ext
and C
ext
with temperature are not calculated and
included in the graph.
As long as C
ext
≥ 1000 pF and 5K ≤ R
ext
≤ 260K, the
change in K with respect to R
ext
is negligible.
If C
ext
≤ 1000 pF the graph shown on Figure 8 can be used
to determine the output pulse width. Figure 9 shows how K
will change for C
ext
≤ 1000 pF if VCC and VRC are connected
to the same power supply. The pulse width tW in
nanoseconds is approximated by
tW = 6 + 0.05 C
ext
(pF) + 0.45 R
ext
(kΩ) C
ext
+ 11.6 R
ext
In order to trim the output pulse width, it is necessary to
include a variable resistor between VCC and the R
ext/Cext
pin
or between VCC and the R
ext
pin of the LS122. Figure 10, 11,
and 12 show how this can be done. R
ext
remote should be
kept as close to the monostable as possible.
Retriggering of the part, as shown in Figure 3, must not
occur before C
ext
is discharged or the retrigger pulse will not
have any effect. The discharge time of C
ext
in nanoseconds
is guaranteed to be less than 0.22 C
ext
(pF) and is typically
0.05 C
ext
(pF).
For the smallest possible deviation in output pulse widths
from various devices, it is suggested that C
ext
be kept
≥ 1000 pF.
