SN74LV123AD

Logic - Multivibrators

The SN74LV123AD typically falls into the Logic - Multivibrators category. Multivibrators are electronic circuits used as oscillators, timers, without any reference to external signals, to switch between two different states. They have at least one stable state, in which the circuit stays for a long time, and other unstable state, in which the circuit stays for a short period of time, typically a few milliseconds or microseconds. A multivibrator is an oscillator which can generate rectangular waveforms, due to the rapid switch between the two states. Although it’s ability to generate waveforms of different shapes is limited, a multivibrator can be used in many applications, such as clocks and timers, as well as many other forms of switching and electrical control. The SN74LV123AD is a low-power, low-voltage CMOS integrated circuit which is used as a two-input retriggerable monostable multivibrator. It is a highly reliable, precision device and includes an enable input and a single output. The SN74LV123AD works by using two logic inputs to set and reset the output signal. It is triggered by an input pulse and will produce an output signal that is both active low and active high. The output signal is stable until the trigger signal is applied to the reset input. The SN74LV123AD provides a wide range of features to make it suitable for a range of applications. These features include an adjustable output pulse width of between 32ns and 1ms, adjustable output voltage from 4V to 12V, and adjustable input signal thresholds from 1.4V to 3.5V. The SN74LV123AD has a wide range of applications, including automotive, robotics, instrumentation systems, portable medical devices, and home appliances. With its low power consumption and small size, it is a highly reliable choice for many applications that require precision timing or short delays.
