The 74VHC123AMX is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74VHC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It is a dual retriggerable monostable multivibrator, also known as a one-shot timer, which is widely used in various applications requiring precision timing and delay generation.
Key features of the 74VHC123AMX include:
1. Dual Monostable Multivibrator: This IC contains two monostable multivibrators or timers in a single package, allowing simultaneous operation or independent timing applications.
2. Retriggerable Operation: The retriggerable feature enables the timer to be retriggered during its output pulse, thereby extending the output pulse width if additional trigger pulses are detected. This allows for precise control over the overall delay time.
3. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The 74VHC123AMX operates within a wide voltage range of 2.0V to 5.5V, making it suitable for use in various low-power and battery-operated applications.
4. High-Speed Operation: This IC is designed to operate at high speeds, providing fast propagation delay and short output transition times. It offers significantly improved performance compared to its predecessor, the 74HC123
