“The 74HC/HCT221 are high-speed Si-gate CMOS devices and are pin compatible with low power Schottky TTL(LSTTL). They are specified in compliance with JEDECstandard no. 7A.The 74HC/HCT221 are dual non-retriggerable monostablemultivibrators. Each multivibrator features an activeLOW-going edge input (nA) and an active HIGH-going edge input (nB), either of which can be used as an enableinput.Pulse triggering occurs at a particular voltage level and is not directly related to the transition time of the input pulse.Schmitt-trigger input circuitry for the nB inputs allow jitter-free triggering from inputs with slow transition rates,providing the circuit with excellent noise immunity.Once triggered, the outputs (nQ, nQ) are independent of further transitions of nA and nB inputs and are a function of the timing components. The output pulses can be terminated by the overriding active LOW reset inputs(nRD). Input pulses may be of any duration relative to the output pulse.Pulse width stability is achieved through internal compensation and is virtually independent of VCC and temperature. In most applications pulse stability will only be limited by the accuracy of the external timing components.

Features:

•Pulse width variance is typically less than ±5%
•Pin-out identical to “123”
•Overriding reset terminates output pulse
•nB inputs have hysteresis for improved noise immunity
•Output capability: standard (except for nREXT/CEXT)
•ICC category: MSI
