54121/DM54121/DM74121 One-Shot with
Clear and Complementary Outputs
General Description
The DM54/74121 is a monostable multivibrator featuring
both positive and negative edge triggering with complementary outputs. An internal 2kX timing resistor is provided for
design convenience minimizing component count and layout problems. This device can be used with a single external
capacitor. Inputs (A) are active-low trigger transition inputs
and input (B) is an active-high transition Schmitt-trigger input that allows jitter-free triggering from inputs with transition rates as slow as 1 volt/second. A high immunity to
V
CC
noise of typically 1.5V is also provided by internal cir-
cuitry at the input stage.
To obtain optimum and trouble free operation please read
operating rules and NSC one-shot application notes carefully and observe recommendations.

Functional Description
The basic output pulse width is determined by selection of
an internal resistor R
INT
or an external resistor (RX) and
capacitor (C
X
). Once triggered the output pulse width is independent of further transitions of the inputs and is a function of the timing components. Pulse width can vary from a
few nano-seconds to 28 seconds by choosing appropriate
R
X
and CXcombinations. There are three trigger inputs from
the device, two negative edge-triggering (A) inputs, one positive edge Schmitt-triggering (B) input.
