TRIGGER OPERATION
As shown in Figure 1 and the logic diagram, before an
input trigger occurs, the one shot is in the quiescent state
with the Q output LOW, and the timing capacitor C

valid trigger is recognized, which turns on comparator C1
and Nchannel transistor N11. At the same time the output
latch is set. With transistor N1 on, the capacitor C
idly discharges toward GND until V
point the output of comparator C1 changes state and tran-
sistor N1 turns off. Comparator C1 then turns off while at
the same time comparator C2 turns on. With transistor N1
off, the capacitor C

output latch to reset (Q goes LOW) while at the same time
disabling comparator C2. This ends the timing cycle with
the monostable in the quiescent state, waiting for the next
trigger.

current due only to reverse junction leakages. An added
feature of the MM74HC123A is that the output latch is set
via the input trigger without regard to the capacitor voltage.
Thus, propagation delay from trigger to Q is independent of

RETRIGGER OPERATION
The MM74HC123A is retriggered if a valid trigger occurs 3
followed by another trigger 4 before the Q output has
returned to the quiescent (zero) state. Any retrigger, after

Another removal/retrigger time occurs when a short clear
pulse is used. Upon receipt of a clear, the one shot must
charge the capacitor up to the upper trip point before the
one shot is ready to receive the next trigger. This time is
dependent on the capacitor used and is approximately:
