74HC123D

Nexperia · Monostable Multivibrators · SOIC-16

74HC123D from Nexperia, in a SOIC-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 Negative-edge triggered input for monostable 1 (Schmitt-trigger input). A HIGH-to-LOW transition on 1A triggers a pulse when 1B is HIGH and 1RD is HIGH.
2 1B input Positive-edge triggered input for monostable 1 (Schmitt-trigger input). A LOW-to-HIGH transition on 1B triggers a pulse when 1A is LOW and 1RD is HIGH.
3 1RD input Direct reset (active LOW) and positive-edge triggered input for monostable 1. Driving LOW terminates the output pulse; a LOW-to-HIGH transition can also trigger a pulse.
4 1Q output Active LOW inverted output of monostable 1. Complement of 1Q; goes HIGH during the timed output pulse.
5 2Q output Active HIGH output of monostable 2. Goes HIGH for the programmed pulse width when triggered.
6 2CEXT passive External timing capacitor connection for monostable 2. Connect CEXT between this pin and 2REXT/CEXT (pin 7); pulse width = K x REXT x CEXT.
7 2REXT/CEXT passive External timing resistor and capacitor connection for monostable 2. REXT ties from this pin to VCC (2 kOhm to 1000 kOhm typical); CEXT ties from this pin to 2CEXT (pin 6).
8 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V).
9 2A input Negative-edge triggered input for monostable 2 (Schmitt-trigger input). A HIGH-to-LOW transition on 2A triggers a pulse when 2B is HIGH and 2RD is HIGH.
10 2B input Positive-edge triggered input for monostable 2 (Schmitt-trigger input). A LOW-to-HIGH transition on 2B triggers a pulse when 2A is LOW and 2RD is HIGH.
11 2RD input Direct reset (active LOW) and positive-edge triggered input for monostable 2. Driving LOW terminates the output pulse; a LOW-to-HIGH transition can also trigger a pulse.
12 2Q output Active LOW inverted output of monostable 2. Complement of 2Q; goes HIGH during the timed output pulse.
13 1Q output Active HIGH output of monostable 1. Goes HIGH for the programmed pulse width when triggered.
14 1CEXT passive External timing capacitor connection for monostable 1. Connect CEXT between this pin and 1REXT/CEXT (pin 15); pulse width = K x REXT x CEXT.
15 1REXT/CEXT passive External timing resistor and capacitor connection for monostable 1. REXT ties from this pin to VCC (2 kOhm to 1000 kOhm typical); CEXT ties from this pin to 1CEXT (pin 14).
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage. 2.0 V to 6.0 V (74HC123) or 4.5 V to 5.5 V (74HCT123). Absolute maximum 7 V.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
74hc123d.step 217 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
74hc123d-etched.step 2.0 MB You want the part with 74HC123D already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 513 faces against 267 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Nexperia datasheet (20 pp, sha256 0b5ba7a32cf4830a, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
