HEF4538B: 1. General Description
HEF4538B: 1. General Description
General description
The HEF4538B is a dual retriggerable-resettable monostable multivibrator. Each
multivibrator has an active LOW trigger/retrigger input (nA), an active HIGH
trigger/retrigger input (nB), an overriding active LOW direct reset input (nCD), an output
(nQ) and its complement (nQ), and two pins (nREXT/CEXT, and nCEXT, always
connected to ground) for connecting the external timing components C
EXT
and R
EXT
.
Typical pulse width variation over the specified temperature range is 0.2 %.
The multivibrator may be triggered by either the positive or the negative edges of the input
pulse and will produce an accurate output pulse with a pulse width range of 10 s to
infinity. The duration and accuracy of the output pulse are determined by the external
timing components C
EXT
and R
EXT
. The output pulse width (t
W
) is equal to R
EXT
C
EXT
.
The linear design techniques in LOCMOS (Local Oxide CMOS) guarantee precise control
of the output pulse width. A LOW level at nCD terminates the output pulse immediately.
The trigger inputs Schmitt trigger action makes the circuit highly tolerant of slower rise
and fall times.
It operates over a recommended V
DD
power supply range of 3 V to 15 V referenced to V
SS
(usually ground). Unused inputs must be connected to V
DD
, V
SS
, or another input.
2. Features and benefits

customer(s). NXP does not accept any liability in this respect.
Limiting values Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent
damage to the device. Limiting values are stress ratings only and (proper)
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those given in
the Recommended operating conditions section (if present) or the
Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or
repeated exposure to limiting values will permanently and irreversibly affect
the quality and reliability of the device.
