Additional Details

The TC74HC123AF(ELNEW) utilizes external resistors and capacitors to determine the output pulse width. The pulse width can be calculated using the formula: Pulse Width ≈ R_EXT * C_EXT. The device features clear (CLR) and trigger (A, B) inputs for controlling the output pulses. The CLR input, when low, terminates the output pulse. The A input is triggered by a positive-going transition, while the B input is triggered by a negative-going transition. The device is available in a SOIC package.

This device is commonly used in applications requiring precise timing, pulse shaping, or delay functions. The retriggerable feature makes it particularly useful in missing pulse detection applications, where the output pulse is maintained as long as input pulses are received within a certain time interval.
