General description

The HEF4538B is a dual retriggerable-resettable monostable multivibrator. Each multivibrator has an active LOW trigger/retrigger input (nA), an active HIGH trigger/retrigger input (nB), an overriding active LOW direct reset input (nCD), an output (nQ) and its complement (nQ), and two pins (nREXT/CEXT, and nCEXT, always connected to ground) for connecting the external timing components CEXT and REXT. Typical pulse width variation over the specified temperature range is ±0.2 .
