The 74HCT423DB,118 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74HCT series of high-speed CMOS devices. It is a 16-pin dual retriggerable monostable multivibrator, also known as a pulse stretcher or a one-shot. This IC is commonly used in various electronic circuits where precise timing and pulse generation are required.
Key Features:
1. Retriggerable Operation: The 74HCT423DB,118 has two independent and retriggerable monostable multivibrators. Each multivibrator can be triggered by an external pulse signal, and subsequent triggering extends the output pulse width.
2. Wide Operating Voltage Range: It operates within a wide voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with most common supply voltages in digital systems.
3. High-Speed Operation: With the HCT family, this IC offers fast operation speed and short signal propagation delay, making it suitable for high-frequency applications.
4. Schmitt Trigger Inputs: The Schmitt trigger inputs provide hysteresis, ensuring robust and noise-tolerant signal reception even in noisy environments.
5. Monostable and Bistable Operation: The 74HCT423DB,118 can function as both a monostable multivibrator and a bistable (flip-flop) circuit. This versatility allows it to be used in a wide range of applications
