Philips Semiconductors Preliminary specification
Dual precision monostable multivibrator HEF4938B
FEA TURES
• Separate reset inputs
• Triggering from leading or
trailing edge
• ICCcategory: MSI
DESCRIPTION
The HEF4938B is a dual
retriggerable-resettable monostable
multivibrator. Each multivibrator has
an active LOW trigger/retrigger input
(
I0), an active HIGH trigger/retrigger
input (I1), an overriding active LOW
direct reset input (CD), an output (O)
and its complement (O), and two pins
(CTCand RCTC) for connecting the
external timing components Ct and
Rt. Typical pulse width variation over
temperature range is ±0.2%.
The HEF4938B may be triggered by
either the positive or the negative
edges of the input pulse and will
produce an accurate output pulse
with a pulse width range of 10 µsto
infinity. The duration and accuracy of
the output pulse are determined by
the external timing components
Ctand Rt. The output pulse width (T)
is equal to Rt× Ct. The linear design
techniques in LOCMOS guarantee
precise control of the output pulse
width. A LOW level at CDterminates
the output pulse immediately.
Schmitt-trigger action in the inputs
makes the circuit highly tolerant for
slower rise and fall times.
