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. |

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.
