GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 74HC/HCT423 are high-speed Si-gate CMOS devices
and are pin compatible with low power Schottky TTL
(LSTTL). They are specified in compliance with JEDEC
standard no. 7A.
The 74HC/HCT423 are dual retriggerable monostable
multivibrators with output pulse width control by two
methods. The basic pulse time is programmed by
selection of an external resistor (R
) and capacitor

(C
). The external resistor and capacitor are normally
EXT
connected as shown in Fig.6.
Once triggered, the basic output pulse width may be
extended by retriggering the gated active LOW-going edge
input (nA) or the active HIGH-going edge input (nB). By
repeating this process, the output pulse period
(nQ = HIGH, nQ = LOW) can be made as long as desired.
When nRDis LOW, it forces the nQ output LOW, the
nQ output HIGH and also inhibits the triggering.
Figures 7 and 8 illustrate pulse control by reset. The basic
output pulse width is essentially determined by the values
of the external timing components R
For pulse widths, when C

Schmitt-trigger action in the nA and nB inputs, makes the
circuit highly tolerant to slower input rise and fall times.
The “423” is identical to the “123” but cannot be triggered
via the reset input.
