DM74LS123 Dual Retriggerable One-Shot
with Clear and Complementary Outputs
General Description
The DM74LS123 is a dual retriggerable monostable multivi-
brator 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 tran-
sition trigger input The clear (CLR) input terminates the out-
put pulse at a predetermined time independent of the timing
components The clear input also serves as a trigger input
when it is pulsed with a low level pulse transition (

Functional Description
The basic output pulse width is determined by selection of
an external resistor (R
X
) and capacitor (C
X
) Once triggered
the basic pulse width may be extended by retriggering the
gated active-low transition or active-high transition inputs or
be reduced by use of the active-low or CLEAR input Retrig-
gering 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 continuous 鈥樷€楬IGH鈥欌€?logic state is
maintained at the 鈥樷€楺鈥欌€?output
