DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION

These devices are precision timing circuits capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. In the

time-delay or monostable mode of operation, the timed interval is controlled by single external resistor and

capacitor network. In the astable mode of operation, the frequency and duty cycle can be controlled

independently with two external resistors and single external capacitor.

The threshold and trigger levels normally are two-thirds and one-third, respectively, of VCC. These levels can be

altered by use of the control-voltage terminal. When the trigger input falls below the trigger level, the flip-flop is

set, and the output goes high. If the trigger input is above the trigger level and the threshold input is above the

threshold level, the flip-flop is reset and the output is low. The reset (RESET) input can override all other inputs

and can be used to initiate new timing cycle. When RESET goes low, the flip-flop is reset, and the output goes

low. When the output is low, low-impedance path is provided between discharge (DISCH) and ground.

The output circuit is capable of sinking or sourcing current up to m A. Operation is specified for supplies of

to V. With 5-V supply, output levels are compatible with TTL inputs.
