    or 555 Timer As A One-Shot

    Uploaded by

    The 74121 and 555 timer can both be used as one-shot devices to generate a single pulse of a defined length. The 74121 has three trigger inputs that will activate the one-shot pulse on the output pin. The length of the one-shot pulse for both devices is determined by an external resistor and capacitor connected to pins on the chip. Once triggered, the one-shot will output a high signal on the output pin for a duration of 0.33 * REXT * CEXT seconds before returning low. Both the 74121 and 555 timer can only be triggered once per activation and do not retrigger during the pulse.

    The 74121 and 555 timer can both be used as monostable multivibrators or one-shot devices. The pulse width is determined by an external resistor and capacitor.

    The 74121 will generate a single high output pulse when triggered by a low to high transition on one of its trigger inputs. The pulse width is determined by an external resistor and capacitor connected to pins REXT and CEXT.

    The pulse width (tw) of the 74121 is determined by the formula tw = 0.33 * REXT * CEXT, where REXT is the external resistor and CEXT is the external capacitor.

    74121 Monostable Multivibrator
    Shown below is the pin out diagram for the 74121. There are three trigger inputs from the device, two negative edge-triggering (A) inputs, one positive edge Schmitt-triggering (B) input. If A1 or A2 is LOW and B goes HIGH, OR if B is HIGH and A1 or A2 go LOW, the one-shot will fire. Notice also that pins 2, 8, 12, and 13 are not connected to anything inside the IC. Therefore, these pins are labeled "NC" for "No Connection". The time of the pulse is determined by an external resistor and capacitor connected to REXT, and REXT/CEXT. If the value of capacitor connected to CEXT is greater than 1uF the pulse width (tw) is equal to .33 * REXT * CEXT The 74121 is a non -retrigerable one-shot.

    The schematic diagram below shows how a 74121 may be wired. Here we are using pin 5 (B) for the input trigger signal which will fire on a high input pulse. When a trigger input activates the device, the Q output will go HIGH as illustrated in the timing diagram. The length of the pulse is determined by the formula Tw = .33 * Cext * Rext.

    Tw = .33 * 20uF * 10K = .066 Seconds
