MM74HC4538

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may occur.
Note 2: Unless otherwise specified all voltages are referenced to ground.
Note 3: Power Dissipation temperature derating - plastic "N" package: -12 mW/°C from 65°C to 85.

The MM74HC4538 high speed monostable multivibrator (one shots) is implemented in advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology. They feature speeds comparable to low power Schottky TTL circuitry while retaining the low power and high noise immunity characteristic of CMOS circuits.

Each multivibrator MM74HC4538 features both a negative, A, and a positive, B, transition triggered input, either of which can be used as an inhibit input. Also included is a clear input that when taken low resets the one shot. The MM74HC4538 is retriggerable. That is, it may be triggered repeatedly while their outputs are generating a pulse and the pulse will be extended.

Pulse width stability of MM74HC4538 over a wide range 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 is in ohms, and C is in farads. This MM74HC4538 is pin compatible with the CD4528, and the CD4538 one shots. All inputs are protected from damage due to static discharge by diodes to V_CC and ground.
