DESCRIPTION

The M54/74HC4538 is a high speed CMOS DUAL
MONOSTABLEMULTIVIBRATOR fabricatedinsili­con gate C2MOStechnology. It has the same high
speed performance of LSTTL combined with true
CMOS low power consumption. Eachmultivibrator
featuresboth a negative, A, and a positive, B, edge
triggered input, either ofwhichcanbeused asanin­hibit input. Also included is a clear input that when
taken low resets the one shot. The monostable
multivibrators areretriggerable. Thatis,theymay be
triggered reapeatedly while theiroutputsare gener­atinga pulseand thepulse will beextended. Pulse
widthstability overa widerange of temperature and
supply is achieved using linear CMOS techniques.
The output pulse equation is simply :
PW = 0.7 (R)(C) where PW is in seconds, R in
Ohms, andC is in Farads.

All inputs are equipped with protection circuits
against static discharge and transient excess volt­age.

Notes : 1. Cx, Rx, Dx areexternal components.

2. Dx isa clamping diode.

3. The external capacitor is chargedto VCCinthe stand-by state, i.e. no trigger.When the supply voltage is turned off Cx is discharged
mainlythrough aninternalparasitic diode(seefigures). IfCxissufficiently largeandVCCdecreases rapidy, therewillbesomepossibility
of damaging theI.C.witha surgecurrentor latch-up. If the voltagesupplyfiltercapacitor is large enough andVCCdecrease slowly,
thesurgecurrent is automatically limitedand damage the I.C.is avoided.Themaximumforward currentof the parasitic diodeis ap­proximately 20mA.In cases whereCx is largethe time takenfor the supply voltage to fallto 0.4VCCcan be calculated as follows :
tf≥ (VCC–0.7) ⋅ Cx/20mA
In cases where tfistooshortan externalchamping diode is requiredto protectthe I.C. from the surgecurrent.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

STAND-BY STATE
The external capacitor, Cx, is fully charged to V

CC

inthe stand-bystate.Hence, beforetriggering, tran­sistorQp andQn (connected totheRx/Cxnode)are
bothturnedoff.Thetwo comparatorsthatcontrolthe
timing and the two reference voltage sources stop
operating. The total supply current is therefore only
leakage current.

TRIGGEROPERATION
Triggering occurs when :
1 st)A is ”low” and B has a falling edge ;
2 nd) B is ”high” and A has a risingedge;
After the multivibrator has been retriggered com-

paratorC1 and C2 start operating and Qn isturned
on. Cx then discharges throughQn.The voltage at
the node Rx/Cx external falls.

Whenit reaches V

theoutputof comparator C1

REFL

becomeslow. Thisin turn resets theflip-flop andQn
is turnedoff.

At this point C1 stops functioning but C2 continues
tooperate.ThevoltageatR/Cexternalbeginstorise
witha timeconstant setbytheexternal components
Rx, Cx.

Triggering themultivibratorcausesQtogohigh after
internal delay dueto the flip-flop and thegate. Qre­mains high until the voltage at R/C external rises
againto V

. Atthis pointC2outputgoeslow and

REFH

G goes low. C2 stops operating. That means that
aftertriggering whenthe voltageat R/Cexternal re­turns to V

the multivibrator has returned to its

REFH

MONOSTABLE STATE. Inthe casewhere Rx • Cx
are large enoughand thedischarge time ofthe ca­pacitorand thedelay timeintheI.C. can be ignored,
the width ofthe output pulse tw (out) is as follows:

t

W(OUT)

= 0.72 Cx • Rx

RE-TRIGGEROPERATION
When a second trigger pulse follows the first its ef-

fect will depend on the state of the multivibrator. If
the capacitor Cx is being charged the voltage level
ofRx/Cx externalfalls toV

againandQ remains

REFL

high i.e.the retrigger pulse arrivesin a time shorter
than the period Rx • Cx seconds, the capacitor
charging time constant. If the second trigger pulse
is veryclosetothe initialtrigger pulse itis ineffective
; i.e.,the second trigger must arrive inthe capacitor
discharge cycle to be ineffective.

Hence the minimum time fora secondtrigger to be
effective,trr (Min.) depends on VCCand Cx.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (continued)

RESETOPERATION
CD isnormally high. If CD is low, the trigger is not
effective because Q output goes low and trigger
controlflip-flop is reset.

Also transistor Op is turned on and Cx is charged
quickyto VCC. Thismeans if CDinput goes low,the
IC becomeswaitingstateboth in operating andnon
operating state.
