HCF4538BEY

The HCF4538BEY is an IC (integrated circuit) component that belongs to the HCF series, which is a family of high-speed CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) devices. It is a precision monostable/astable multivibrator designed for use in a variety of timing and pulse generation applications. Here is an overview and some key features of the HCF4538BEY: 1. Functionality: The HCF4538BEY serves as a monostable (one-shot) or astable (free-running oscillator) multivibrator, depending on the mode of operation selected. 2. Voltage Range: It operates within a wide voltage range from 3 V to 18 V, making it compatible with different power supply configurations. 3. Supply Current: The IC has low power consumption, with a maximum supply current of 2 mA. 4. Output Drive Capability: It features a high output drive capability of 10 V at 100 mA, which allows it to drive various loads. 5. Trigger Inputs: The HCF4538BEY has two independent trigger inputs, labeled TRIGGER (pin 6) and RESET (pin 4). These inputs initiate the timing cycle and can be connected to other devices or control signals. 6. Output Pins: The IC has two main output pins, labelled Q and Q? (complementary outputs), which can be utilized for different applications or connected to other components
