The ’AHC123A devices are dual retriggerable
monostable multivibrators designed for 2-V to
5.5-V VCC operation.

output pulse-duration control by three methods. In
the first method, the A input is low, and the B input goes high. In the second method, the B input is high, and
the A input goes low. In the third method, the A input is low, the B input is high, and the clear (CLR) input goes
high.
The output pulse duration is programmed by selecting external resistance and capacitance values. The external
timing capacitor must be connected between C

Pulse triggering occurs at a particular voltage level and is not directly related to the transition time of the input
pulse. The A, B, and CLR inputs have Schmitt triggers with sufficient hysteresis to handle slow input transition
rates with jitter-free triggering at the outputs.
Once triggered, the basic pulse duration can be extended by retriggering the gated low-level-active (A) or
high-level-active (B) input. Pulse duration can be reduced by taking CLR low. CLR input can be used to override
A or B inputs. The input/output timing diagram illustrates pulse control by retriggering the inputs and early
clearing.

On products compliant to MIL-PRF-38535, all parameters are tested
unless otherwise noted. On all other products, production
processing does not necessarily include testing of all parameters.
The variance in output pulse duration from device to device typically is less than ±0.5% for given external timing
components. An example of this distribution for the ’AHC123A is shown in Figure 10. V ariations in output pulse
duration versus supply voltage and temperature are shown in Figure 6.
During power up, Q outputs are in the high state, and Q outputs are in the low state. The outputs are glitch free
without applying a reset pulse.
The SN54AHC123A is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.
The SN74AHC123A is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. Voltage values are with respect to the network ground terminal.
2. The input and output voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output current ratings are observed.
3. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51.
