DM74LS123
Dual Retriggerable One-Shot
with Clear and Complementary Outputs
General Description
The DM74LS123 is a dual retriggerable monostable multi-
vibrator capable of generating output pulses from a few
nano-seconds to extremely long duration up to 100% duty
cycle. Each device has three inputs permitting the choice of
either leading edge or trailing edge triggering. Pin (A) is an
active-LOW transition trigger input and pin (B) is an active-
HIGH transition trigger input. The clear (CLR) input termi-
nates the output pulse at a predetermined time indepen-
dent of the timing components. The clear input also serves
as a trigger input when it is pulsed with a low level pulse
transition ( ). To obtain the best trouble free operation
from this device please read the operating rules as well as
the Fairchild Semiconductor one-shot application notes
carefully and observe recommendations.

Functional Description
The basic output pulse width is determined by selection of
an external resistor (R
X
) and capacitor (C
X
). Once trig-
gered, the basic pulse width may be extended by retrigger-
ing the gated active-LOW transition or active-HIGH
transition inputs or be reduced by use of the active-LOW or
CLEAR input. Retriggering to 100% duty cycle is possible
by application of an input pulse train whose cycle time is
shorter than the output cycle time such that a continuous
“HIGH” logic state is maintained at the “Q” output.
Operating Rules
1. An external resistor (R
X
) and an external capacitor (C
X
)
are required for proper operation. The value of C
X
may
vary from 0 to any necessary value. For small time con-
stants high-grade mica, glass, polypropylene, polycar-
bonate, or polystyrene material capacitors may be
used. For large time constants use tantalum or special
aluminum capacitors. If the timing capacitors have
leakages approaching 100 nA or if stray capacitance
from either terminal to ground is greater than 50 pF the
timing equations may not represent the pulse width the
device generates.
2. When an electrolytic capacitor is used for C
X
a switch-
ing diode is often required for standard TTL one-shots
to prevent high inverse leakage current. This switching
diode is not needed for the DM74LS123 one-shot and
should not be used. In general the use of the switching
diode is not recommended with retriggerable operation.
Furthermore, if a polarized timing capacitor is used on
the DM74LS123 the negative terminal of the capacitor
should be connected to the “C
EXT
” pin of the device
(Figure 1).

following circuit is recommended:

The retriggered pulse width is equal to the pulse width

8. Output pulse width variation versus V
CC
and tempera-
tures: Figure 6 depicts the relationship between pulse
width variation versus V
CC
, and Figure 7 depicts pulse
width variation versus temperatures.
9. Under any operating condition C
X
and R
X
must be kept
as close to the one-shot device pins as possible to min-
imize stray capacitance, to reduce noise pick-up, and
to reduce I-R and Ldi/dt voltage developed along their
connecting paths. If the lead length from C
X
to pins (6)
and (7) or pins (14) and (15) is greater than 3 cm, for
example, the output pulse width might be quite different
from values predicted from the appropriate equations.
A non-inductive and low capacitive path is necessary to
ensure complete discharge of C
X
in each cycle of its
operation so that the output pulse width will be accu-
rate.
10. The C
EXT
pins of this device are internally connected to
the internal ground. For optimum system performance
they should be hard wired to the system’s return
ground plane.
FIGURE 6.
11. V
CC
and ground wiring should conform to good high-
frequency standards and practices so that switching
transients on the V
CC
and ground return leads do not
cause interaction between one-shots. A 0.01
µF
to 0.10
µF
bypass capacitor (disk ceramic or monolithic type)
from V
CC
to ground is necessary on each device. Fur-
thermore, the bypass capacitor should be located as
close to the V
CC
-pin as space permits.
Note: For further detailed device characteristics and output per-
formance please refer to the Fairchild Semiconductor one-shot
application note AN-372.
