SN74121D

Texas Instruments · Monostable Multivibrators · SOIC-14

SN74121D from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-14. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 ~Q output Complementary monostable output; goes high during quiescent state and low during output pulse.
2 NC unconnected No internal connection.
3 A1 input Negative-transition-triggered logic input A1; Req = 4 kΩ NOM; V_IH ≥ 2 V, V_IL ≤ 0.8 V.
4 A2 input Negative-transition-triggered logic input A2; Req = 4 kΩ NOM; V_IH ≥ 2 V, V_IL ≤ 0.8 V.
5 B input Schmitt-trigger positive-transition-triggered input (also used as inhibit); Req = 2 kΩ NOM, V_T+ typ 1.55 V, V_T- min 0.8 V, hysteresis typ 0.2 V.
6 Q output Non-inverting monostable output; goes low during quiescent state and high during output pulse; I_OH max -0.4 mA, I_OL max 16 mA.
7 GND power_in Ground reference for all voltage values in the device.
8 NC unconnected No internal connection.
9 RINT passive Internal timing resistor pin; connect to V_CC to use internal 2 kΩ NOM resistor; leave open or connect external resistor between this pin and R_ext/C_ext for external timing.
10 CEXT passive External timing capacitor connection (positive terminal); capacitor is connected between C_ext and R_ext/C_ext; C_ext range 0 to 1000 µF.
11 REXT_CEXT passive External timing resistor/capacitor node; connect external resistor R_T (2 kΩ to 40 kΩ for SN74121) between this pin and V_CC; also serves as negative terminal of C_ext.
12 NC unconnected No internal connection.
13 NC unconnected No internal connection.
14 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage; recommended operating range 4.75 V to 5.25 V (74 Family), absolute maximum 7 V.
