DM74123
Dual Retriggerable One-Shot with
Clear and Complementary Outputs
General Description
The DM74123 is a dual retriggerable monostable multi-
vibrator capable of generating output pulses from a few
nano-seconds to extremely long duration up to 100% duty
cycle. Each device has three inputs permitting the choice of
either leading-edge or trailing edge triggering. Pin (A) is an
active-LOW transition trigger input and pin (B) is an active-
HIGH transition trigger input. A LOW at the clear (CLR)
input terminates the output pulse: which also inhibits trig-
gering. An internal connection from CLR to the input gate
makes it possible to trigger the circuit by a positive-going
signal on CLR as shown in the Truth Table.
To obtain the best and trouble free operation from this
device please read the Operating Rules as well as the
One鈥揝hot Application Notes carefully and observe recom-
mendations.

Functional Description
The basic output pulse width is determined by selection of
an external resistor (R
X
) and capacitor (C
X
). Once trig-
gered, the basic pulse width may be extended by retrigger-
ing the gated active-LOW transition or active-HIGH
transition inputs or be reduced by use of the active-LOW
transition clear input. Retriggering to 100% duty cycle is
possible by application of an input pulse train whose cycle
time is shorter than the output cycle time such that a con-
tinuous 鈥淗IGH鈥?logic state is maintained at the 鈥淨鈥?output.
