MC14538B
Dual Precision
Retriggerable/Resettable
Monostable Multivibrator
The MC14538B is a dual, retriggerable, resettable monostable
multivibrator. It may be triggered from either edge of an input pulse,
and produces an accurate output pulse over a wide range of widths, the
duration and accuracy of which are determined by the external timing
components, C
RX =

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur.
Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not
normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are
exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and
reliability may be affected.

Plastic “P and D/DW” Packages: – 7.0 mW/C From 65C To 125C
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, V
