SN74LS221DBR

Texas Instruments · Monostable Multivibrators · SSOP-16-208mil

SN74LS221DBR from Texas Instruments, in a SSOP-16-208mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 1A input Monostable 1 negative-transition-triggered input, which can also be used as an inhibit input; unused inputs must be held at VCC or GND.
2 1B input Monostable 1 positive-transition-triggered Schmitt-trigger input, which can also be used as an inhibit input.
3 1CLR input Monostable 1 active-low overriding clear input that terminates the output pulse.
4 1Q̄ output Monostable 1 complementary (inverted) totem-pole output, high when idle; IOL 8 mA max and IOH -400 µA for the SN74LS221.
5 2Q output Monostable 2 totem-pole output, low when idle and high during the pulse; IOL 8 mA max and IOH -400 µA for the SN74LS221.
6 2Cext passive Monostable 2 external timing capacitor connection; the Rext/Cext terminal is never more positive than this terminal.
7 2Rext/Cext passive Monostable 2 external timing resistor/capacitor junction; Rext 1.4 kΩ min to 100 kΩ max for the SN74LS221, with tw ≈ 0.7·Cext·Rext.
8 GND power_in Ground.
9 2A input Monostable 2 negative-transition-triggered input, which can also be used as an inhibit input.
10 2B input Monostable 2 positive-transition-triggered Schmitt-trigger input, which can also be used as an inhibit input.
11 2CLR input Monostable 2 active-low overriding clear input that terminates the output pulse.
12 2Q̄ output Monostable 2 complementary (inverted) totem-pole output, high when idle; IOL 8 mA max and IOH -400 µA for the SN74LS221.
13 1Q output Monostable 1 totem-pole output, low when idle and high during the pulse; IOL 8 mA max and IOH -400 µA for the SN74LS221.
14 1Cext passive Monostable 1 external timing capacitor connection; the Rext/Cext terminal is never more positive than this terminal.
15 1Rext/Cext passive Monostable 1 external timing resistor/capacitor junction; Rext 1.4 kΩ min to 100 kΩ max for the SN74LS221, with tw ≈ 0.7·Cext·Rext.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage, 4.75 V to 5.25 V recommended for the SN74LS221 (7 V absolute maximum).
