DM74121
One-Shot with Clear and Complementary Outputs
General Description
The DM74121 is a monostable multivibrator featuring both
positive and negative edge triggering with complementary
outputs. An internal 2k
timing resistor is provided for
design convenience minimizing component count and lay-
out problems. this device can be used with a single exter-
nal capacitor. Inputs (A) are active-LOW trigger transition
inputs and input (B) is and active-HIGH transition Schmitt-
trigger input that allows jitter-free triggering from inputs with
transition rates as slow as 1 volt/second. A high immunity
to V
CC
noise of typically 1.5V is also provided by internal
circuitry at the input stage.
To obtain optimum and trouble free operation please read
operating rules and one-shot application notes carefully
and observe recommendations.

Functional Description
The basic output pulse width is determined by selection of
an internal resistor R
INT
or an external resistor (R
X
) and
capacitor (C
X
). Once triggered the output pulse width is
independent of further transitions of the inputs and is func-
tion of the timing components. Pulse width can vary from a
few nano-seconds to 28 seconds by choosing appropriate
R
X
and C
X
combinations. There are three trigger inputs
from the device, two negative edge-triggering (A) inputs,
one positive edge Schmitt-triggering (B) input.
