MC14538BDR2G from onsemi, 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 | C_X_A | passive | Timing capacitor connection for monostable A. External timing capacitor Cx connects between this pin (C_X) and R_X/C_X. |
| 2 | R_X/C_X_A | passive | Timing resistor/capacitor common node for monostable A. External timing resistor Rx connects between VDD and this pin; timing capacitor Cx connects between this pin and C_X. |
| 3 | RESET_A | input | Active-low reset input for monostable A. A low level forces Q low and Q-bar high independent of the input trigger state. |
| 4 | A_A | input | Trigger input A of monostable A (leading-edge / negative-transition trigger input). Triggers the one-shot on the falling edge when B is high and Reset is high. |
| 5 | B_A | input | Trigger input B of monostable A (trailing-edge / positive-transition trigger input). Triggers the one-shot on the rising edge when A is low and Reset is high. |
| 6 | Q_A | output | True output of monostable A. Goes high for the programmed pulse width Tx ≈ RxCx after a valid trigger. |
| 7 | Q_A_BAR | output | Complement (inverted) output of monostable A. Goes low for the programmed pulse width after a valid trigger. |
| 8 | VSS | power_in | Negative supply / ground reference (0 V). Supply range VDD-VSS = 3.0 to 18 V. |
| 9 | Q_B_BAR | output | Complement (inverted) output of monostable B. Goes low for the programmed pulse width after a valid trigger. |
| 10 | Q_B | output | True output of monostable B. Goes high for the programmed pulse width Tx ≈ RxCx after a valid trigger. |
| 11 | B_B | input | Trigger input B of monostable B (trailing-edge / positive-transition trigger input). Triggers the one-shot on the rising edge when A is low and Reset is high. |
| 12 | A_B | input | Trigger input A of monostable B (leading-edge / negative-transition trigger input). Triggers the one-shot on the falling edge when B is high and Reset is high. |
| 13 | RESET_B | input | Active-low reset input for monostable B. A low level forces Q low and Q-bar high independent of the input trigger state. |
| 14 | R_X/C_X_B | passive | Timing resistor/capacitor common node for monostable B. External Rx connects between VDD and this pin; external Cx connects between this pin and C_X. |
| 15 | C_X_B | passive | Timing capacitor connection for monostable B. External Cx connects between this pin and R_X/C_X. |
| 16 | VDD | power_in | Positive supply voltage. Operating range 3.0 V to 18 V (VDD referenced to VSS). |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 766 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.
