74HC423

Dual retriggerable monostable multivibrator with reset

Rev. 7 — 11 February 2016 Product data sheet

1. General description
The 74HC423 is a dual retriggerable monostable multivibrator with output pulse width
control by two methods. The basic pulse time is programmed by selection of an external
resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT). Once triggered, the basic output pulse width may be
extended by retriggering (nA) or (nB). By repeating this process, the output pulse period
(nQ = HIGH, nQ = LOW) can be made as long as desired. When nRD is LOW, it forces
the nQ output LOW, the nQ output HIGH and also inhibits the triggering. Schmitt-trigger
action in the nA and nB inputs, makes the circuit highly tolerant to slower input rise and fall
times. The '423' is identical to the '123' but cannot be triggered via the reset input. Inputs
include clamp diodes. This enables the use of current limiting resistors to interface inputs
to voltages in excess of VCC.

[1] tpd is the same as tPHL and tPLH.

[2] tt is the same as tTHL and tTLH.
[3] For other REXT and CEXT combinations see Figure 8. If CEXT > 10 pF, the next formula is valid:
tW = K  REXT  CEXT (typ.), where:
tW = output pulse width in ns;
REXT = external resistor in k;
CEXT = external capacitor in pF;
K = 0.55 for VCC = 2.0 V and 0.45 for VCC = 5.0 V; see Figure 9.
Inherent test jig and pin capacitance at pins 15 and 7 (nREXT/CEXT) is 7 pF.
[4] The time to retrigger the monostable multivibrator depends on the values of REXT and CEXT. The output pulse width will only be
extended when the time between the active-going edges of the trigger input pulses meets the minimum retrigger time.
If CEXT > 10 pF, the next formula (at VCC = 5.0 V) for the set-up time of a retrigger pulse is valid:
trtrig = 30 + 0.19  REXT  CEXT0.9 + 13  REXT1.05 (typ.); where:
trtrig = retrigger time in ns;
CEXT = external capacitor in pF;
REXT = external resistor in k.
Inherent test jig and pin capacitance at pins 15 and 7 (nREXT/CEXT) is 7 pF.
[5] When the device is powered-up, initiate the device via a reset pulse, when CEXT < 50 pF.
[6] CPD is used to determine the dynamic power dissipation (PD in W):
PD = CPD  VCC2  fi  N + (CL  VCC2  fo); where:
fi = input frequency in MHz;
fo = output frequency in MHz;
CL = output load capacitance in pF;
VCC = supply voltage in V;
N = number of inputs switching;
(CL  VCC2  fo) = sum of outputs.

The basic output pulse width is essentially determined by the values of the external timing
components REXT and CEXT.

(1) For minimum noise generation it is recommended that the nCEXT pins (6, 14) are connected to ground externally to
the GND pin (8).
Fig 13. Timing component connections

12.1.1 Minimum monostable pulse width

To set the minimum pulse width, when CEXT < 10 nF, see Figure 8 and
when CEXT > 10 nF, the output pulse width is defined as:

tW = 0.45  REXT  CEXT (typ.), where:

tW = pulse width in s;

REXT = external resistor in k;

CEXT = external capacitor in nF.

12.2 Power-up considerations

When the monostable is powered-up it may produce an output pulse, with a pulse width
defined by the values of REXT and CEXT, this output pulse can be eliminated using the
circuit shown in Figure 14.

12.3 Power-down considerations

A large capacitor CEXT may cause problems when powering-down the monostable due to
the capacitor’s stored energy. When a system containing this device is powered-down or a
rapid decrease of VCC to zero occurs, the monostable may sustain damage, due to the
capacitor discharging through the input protection diodes. To avoid this possibility, use a
damping diode DEXT preferably a germanium or Schottky type diode able to withstand
large current surges and connect as shown in Figure 15.
