CD74HC123PWR from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-16. 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 1A input Monostable 1 trigger input A. Schmitt-trigger input; a HIGH-to-LOW (falling-edge) transition on 1A while 1B is HIGH and 1R is HIGH initiates the MONO 1 output pulse. VIH/VIL per HC-type DC specs (VIH ≥ 0.7·VCC, VIL ≤ 0.3·VCC at VCC = 4.5 V).
2 1B input Monostable 1 trigger input B. Schmitt-trigger input; a LOW-to-HIGH (rising-edge) transition on 1B while 1A is LOW and 1R is HIGH initiates the MONO 1 output pulse.
3 1R input Monostable 1 Reset (active LOW). Driving 1R LOW asynchronously terminates the MONO 1 output pulse and forces 1Q LOW / 1Q̄ HIGH; on the 'HC123, a LOW-to-HIGH transition on 1R with 1A LOW and 1B HIGH can also trigger the mono.
4 1Q̄ output Monostable 1 complementary (inverting) output. Idles HIGH; pulses LOW for the programmed pulse width tW ≈ 0.45·Rx·Cx following a valid trigger. Drives up to 15 LSTTL loads (bus-driver output).
5 2Q output Monostable 2 non-inverting output. Idles LOW; pulses HIGH for the programmed pulse width tW ≈ 0.45·Rx·Cx following a valid trigger on MONO 2.
6 2Cx passive External timing-capacitor connection for MONO 2. Connect the timing capacitor Cx between 2Cx (pin 6) and 2Rx/Cx (pin 7); the polarised terminal (if electrolytic) goes on 2Rx/Cx. Cx,min ≈ 0 pF.
7 2Rx/Cx passive External timing-resistor / capacitor junction for MONO 2. Connect Cx between pin 6 and this pin, and Rx between this pin and VCC. Rx,min ≈ 5 kΩ; pulse width tW ≈ 0.45·Rx·Cx at VCC = 5 V.
8 GND power_in Ground / 0 V reference for the device.
9 2R input Monostable 2 Reset (active LOW). Driving 2R LOW asynchronously terminates the MONO 2 output pulse; on the 'HC123, a LOW-to-HIGH transition on 2R can also trigger the mono.
10 2B input Monostable 2 trigger input B. Schmitt-trigger input; a LOW-to-HIGH transition on 2B while 2A is LOW and 2R is HIGH initiates the MONO 2 output pulse.
11 2A input Monostable 2 trigger input A. Schmitt-trigger input; a HIGH-to-LOW transition on 2A while 2B is HIGH and 2R is HIGH initiates the MONO 2 output pulse.
12 2Q̄ output Monostable 2 complementary (inverting) output. Idles HIGH; pulses LOW for tW ≈ 0.45·Rx·Cx following a valid trigger. Drives up to 15 LSTTL loads.
13 1Q output Monostable 1 non-inverting output. Idles LOW; pulses HIGH for the programmed pulse width tW ≈ 0.45·Rx·Cx following a valid trigger on MONO 1.
14 1Cx passive External timing-capacitor connection for MONO 1. Connect Cx between 1Cx (pin 14) and 1Rx/Cx (pin 15). Cx,min ≈ 0 pF.
15 1Rx/Cx passive External timing-resistor / capacitor junction for MONO 1. Cx between pin 14 and this pin, Rx between this pin and VCC. Rx,min ≈ 5 kΩ.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply. 2 V to 6 V for 'HC types (this device); typical 5 V. Bypass with a local 100 nF ceramic to GND.
