DESCRIPTION
The M54/74HC221/221A are high speed CMOS
MONOSTABLE multivibrators fabricated with silicon gate C2MOS technology. It achieves the high
speed operation similar to equivalent LSTTL while
maintainingtheCMOSlowpowerdissipation.There
aretwotriggerinputs,AINPUT (negativeedge) and
B INPUT (positive edge). Triggering on theB input
occursata particularvoltage thresholdandisnotrelatedto the rise and falltime oftheapplied pulse.
The device mayalso be triggeredbyusing the CLR
input(positive-edge) because ofthe Schmitt-trigger
input ; after triggering the output maintains the
MONOSTABLEstateforthetimeperiod determined
by theexternal resistor Rx andcapacitor Cx.Taking
CLR lowbreaksthis MONOSTABLESTATE. If the
nexttrigger pulse occursduring theMONOSTABLE
period it makes the MONOSTABLE period longer.
Limit forvalues of CxandRx :
Cx : NO LIMIT
Rx : VCC<3.0 V 5K Ω to 1 M Ω
VCC≥ 3.0 V 1 K Ω to 1 M Ω
Two different pulse width constants are available:
K ≅ 0.7 for HC221
K ≅ 1 for HC221A
All inputs are equipped with protection circuits
against static discharge and transient excess voltage.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note:
(1)Cx, Rx, Dx are externalcomponents.
(2)Dx isa clampingdiode.
Theexternalcapacitor ischarged toVCCinthestand-by state,i.e.notrigger.Whenthesupply voltageis turned offCxis dischargedmainly
throughan internalparasiticdiode (see figures). IfCx issufficientlylarge and VCCdecreases rapidy,therewill besomepossibility of damagingtheI.C.witha surgecurrentor latch-up. If the voltagesupply filtercapacitor is largeenough and VCCdecrease slowly,the surge
currentis automaticallylimitedand damage the I.C. is avoided. Themaximumforwardcurrentof the parasiticdiodeisapproximately 20
mA.In caseswhereCx is large the timetakenfor the supply voltageto fallto 0.4VCCcanbecalculated asfollows:
tf≥ (VCC–0.7)⋅Cx/20mA

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
STAND-BYSTATE
The external capacitor, Cx, is fully charged to V
CC
inthe stand-bystate.Hence, beforetriggering,transistorQp andQn (connected tothe Rx/Cxnode)are
both turned-off. The two comparators that control
the timing and the two reference voltage sources
stop operating. The totalsupply current istherefore
only leakage current.
TRIGGEROPERATION
Triggering occurswhen :
1st) A is ”low” and B hasa falling edge;
2nd) B is”high” and Ahas a rising edge ;
3rd) A islowand Bis highand C1hasa risingedge.
After the multivibrator has been retriggered comparatorC1 and C2 start operating and Qn isturned
on. Cx then discharges through Qn.The voltageat
the node R/Cexternal falls.
Whenit reaches V
theoutputof comparatorC1
REFL
becomeslow. Thisin turnresetstheflip-flopandQn
is turnedoff.
At this pointC1 stopsfunctioning but C2 continues
to operate.
ThevoltageatR/Cexternalbeginstorisewithatime
constantset by the externalcomponents Rx, Cx.
Triggering themultivibratorcausesQto gohighafter
internal delay dueto the flip-flop and the gate. Qremains high until the voltage at R/C external rises
againto V
. AtthispointC2outputgoeslow and
REFH
O goes low. C2 stop operating. That means that
after triggering when the voltage R/C external returns to V
the multivibrator has returned to its
REFH
MONOSTABLESTATE. In the case whereRx ⋅ Cx
are large enough and thedischargetime of the capacitorand thedelaytime inthe I.C.can beignored,
the width ofthe output pulse tw (out) is as follows :
t
W(OUT)
= 0.70 Cx ⋅ Rx (HC221)
t
W(OUT)
=Cx⋅Rx (HC221A)
RESETOPERATION
CL isnormallyhigh.If CLislow,the triggeris not ef-
fectivebecauseQoutput goeslow and trigger control flip-flopis reset.
Also transistor Op is turned on and Cx is charged
quickyto VCC. Thismeans if CL inputgoes low,the
IC becomeswaiting state both inoperating andnon
operating state.
