Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 1CX passive External timing capacitor CX for monostable 1; CX minimum is 0pF, and a protection diode or 51Ω series resistor is required when CX is 0.5µF or more.
2 1RXCX passive Common RX/CX timing node for monostable 1; RX minimum is 5kΩ, and the current into this pin must not exceed 30mA.
3 1R input Reset input for monostable 1, which resets the output independently of RX and CX.
4 1A input Leading-edge trigger input for monostable 1 with Schmitt-trigger action; an unused A input must be tied to GND.
5 1B input Trailing-edge trigger input for monostable 1 with Schmitt-trigger action; an unused B input must be tied to VCC.
6 1Q output Buffered output of monostable 1, giving the timed output pulse width set by RX and CX.
7 ~{1Q} output Buffered complementary output of monostable 1.
8 GND power_in Ground reference; all voltages are referenced to ground.
9 ~{2Q} output Buffered complementary output of monostable 2.
10 2Q output Buffered output of monostable 2, giving the timed output pulse width set by RX and CX.
11 2B input Trailing-edge trigger input for monostable 2 with Schmitt-trigger action; an unused B input must be tied to VCC.
12 2A input Leading-edge trigger input for monostable 2 with Schmitt-trigger action; an unused A input must be tied to GND.
13 2R input Reset input for monostable 2, which resets the output independently of RX and CX.
14 2RXCX passive Common RX/CX timing node for monostable 2; RX minimum is 5kΩ, and the current into this pin must not exceed 30mA.
15 2CX passive External timing capacitor CX for monostable 2; CX minimum is 0pF, and a protection diode or 51Ω series resistor is required when CX is 0.5µF or more.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage: 2V to 6V for HC types and 4.5V to 5.5V for HCT types.
