CD74HC123M96

Texas Instruments · Monostable Multivibrators · SOIC-16

CD74HC123M96 from Texas Instruments, 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 Channel 1 active-low trigger input (A-bar). Schmitt-trigger input; a high-to-low transition triggers a new output pulse on Q1 when B1 is high and 1R is high. Tie high if channel 1 is triggered via B1 only; do not leave floating.
2 1B input Channel 1 active-high trigger input B. Schmitt-trigger input; a low-to-high transition triggers a new output pulse when 1A is low and 1R is high. Tie low if unused.
3 1R input Channel 1 active-low reset (R-bar). Driving low forces 1Q low and 1Q-bar high, terminating any output pulse in progress. Tie high for normal (non-reset) operation.
4 1Q output Channel 1 inverted (Q-bar) buffered output. High in the idle state and pulses low for the programmed pulse width when the channel is triggered. Standard fan-out 10 LSTTL, bus-driver fan-out 15 LSTTL.
5 2Q output Channel 2 non-inverted Q buffered output. Low in the idle state and pulses high for the programmed pulse width when the channel is triggered.
6 2Cx passive Channel 2 external timing capacitor connection. Connect C_X between 2Cx (pin 6) and 2RxCx (pin 7). Minimum C_X is 0 pF; C_X sets pulse width together with R_X (t_W = 0.45 * R_X * C_X at 5 V).
7 2RxCx passive Channel 2 external R_X/C_X node. R_X is connected from this pin to V_CC and C_X is connected from this pin to 2Cx (pin 6). Minimum R_X is typically 5 kΩ.
8 GND power_in Ground / 0 V reference for both channels.
9 2A input Channel 2 active-low trigger input (A-bar). Schmitt-trigger input; a high-to-low transition triggers a new output pulse on Q2 when B2 is high and 2R is high. Tie high if channel 2 is triggered via B2 only.
10 2B input Channel 2 active-high trigger input B. Schmitt-trigger input; a low-to-high transition triggers a new output pulse when 2A is low and 2R is high. Tie low if unused.
11 2R input Channel 2 active-low reset (R-bar). Driving low forces 2Q low and 2Q-bar high, terminating any output pulse in progress. Tie high for normal (non-reset) operation.
12 2Q output Channel 2 inverted (Q-bar) buffered output. High in the idle state and pulses low for the programmed pulse width when the channel is triggered.
13 1Q output Channel 1 non-inverted Q buffered output. Low in the idle state and pulses high for the programmed pulse width when the channel is triggered.
14 1Cx passive Channel 1 external timing capacitor connection. Connect C_X between 1Cx (pin 14) and 1RxCx (pin 15). Minimum C_X is 0 pF.
15 1RxCx passive Channel 1 external R_X/C_X node. R_X is connected from this pin to V_CC and C_X is connected from this pin to 1Cx (pin 14). Minimum R_X is typically 5 kΩ.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply. HC types operate 2 V-6 V (HCT types 4.5 V-5.5 V). Absolute maximum V_CC is 7 V; bypass locally with a 0.1 µF capacitor to GND.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
cd74hc123m96.step 217 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
cd74hc123m96-etched.step 2.8 MB You want the part with CD74HC123M96 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 689 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.
