74HC123PW

Nexperia · Monostable Multivibrators · TSSOP-16

74HC123PW from Nexperia, 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 Negative-edge triggered input for monostable 1 (active-LOW trigger, Schmitt-trigger input).
2 1B input Positive-edge triggered input for monostable 1 (Schmitt-trigger input).
3 1RD input Direct reset input for monostable 1 - active LOW terminates the output pulse; also acts as a positive-edge triggered input.
4 1Q_N output Active-LOW (inverted) output for monostable 1. Goes LOW during the programmed output pulse.
5 2Q output Active-HIGH output for monostable 2. Goes HIGH during the programmed output pulse.
6 2CEXT passive External timing capacitor connection for monostable 2. Together with 2REXT/CEXT sets the output pulse width.
7 2REXT/CEXT passive External timing resistor and capacitor connection for monostable 2. REXT ties to VCC through the timing resistor; CEXT ties between this pin and 2CEXT.
8 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V).
9 2A input Negative-edge triggered input for monostable 2 (active-LOW trigger, Schmitt-trigger input).
10 2B input Positive-edge triggered input for monostable 2 (Schmitt-trigger input).
11 2RD input Direct reset input for monostable 2 - active LOW terminates the output pulse; also acts as a positive-edge triggered input.
12 2Q_N output Active-LOW (inverted) output for monostable 2. Goes LOW during the programmed output pulse.
13 1Q output Active-HIGH output for monostable 1. Goes HIGH during the programmed output pulse.
14 1CEXT passive External timing capacitor connection for monostable 1. Together with 1REXT/CEXT sets the output pulse width.
15 1REXT/CEXT passive External timing resistor and capacitor connection for monostable 1. REXT ties to VCC through the timing resistor; CEXT ties between this pin and 1CEXT.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage. Operating range 2.0 V to 6.0 V (74HC123) or 4.5 V to 5.5 V (74HCT123).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
74hc123pw.step 205 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
74hc123pw-etched.step 2.1 MB You want the part with 74HC123PW already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 534 faces against 255 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.
