Texas Instruments TPUL2T323/TPUL2T323-Q1 Monostable Multivibrators

Texas Instruments TPUL2T323/TPUL2T323-Q1 Dual Monostable Multivibrators contain two independent extended-pulse-width RC-configurable retriggerable monostable multivibrators designed for 1.5V to 5.5V operation. The output pulse duration is configured by selecting external resistance and capacitance values, resulting in an approximate output pulse width of two ≅ 1000 × R × C.

The Texas Instruments TPUL2T323/TPUL2T323-Q1 features three inputs, allowing for rising edge (T) and falling edge (/T) triggers and a clear input (/CLR) that can be used asynchronously to stop an active output pulse. All inputs include Schmitt-trigger architecture, enabling slow input transition rates and enhancing noise immunity. The TPUL2T323-Q1 devices are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
