Product details
Overview
74LV123DB,112 from Nexperia is a dual retriggerable monostable multivibrator with independent reset inputs, designed for precise pulse generation and timing extension in low-voltage digital systems. It operates from 1.0 V to 5.5 V, supports TTL-level inputs at VCC ≥ 2.7 V, features Schmitt-trigger inputs on A/B pins, and delivers programmable output pulse widths via external REXT/CEXT networks - used in industrial control sequencers, power-on delay circuits, and debounce interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV123DB,112 datasheet, 74LV123DB,112 pinout, 74LV123DB,112 application, or 74LV123DB,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel retriggerability, 16-pin SO16 package compatibility, -40 °C to +125 °C operation, and direct reset termination capability across both channels.
Technical Context
The 74LV123DB,112 implements two independent monostable multivibrators, each with separate negative-edge (nA) and positive-edge (nB) trigger inputs, active-low direct reset (nRD), and complementary outputs (nQ/nQ). Pulse width is externally set by REXT and CEXT on each channel, with retriggering enabled during the active output period to extend duration indefinitely - supporting up to 100 % duty factor.
Schmitt-trigger action on nA/nB inputs ensures robust noise immunity against slow-rising signals; clamp diodes on all inputs allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. The device complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, JESD8C, and JESD36 across its full supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - enables operation in ultra-low-power (1.2 V) and standard 3.3 V/5 V systems without level translation. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments requiring extended thermal stability. |
| Propagation Delay (nA/nB → nQ) | 25 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures fast response in real-time timing applications such as signal synchronization. |
| Pulse Width Range | 70 ns to >470 µs - selectable via external REXT (2–1000 kΩ) and CEXT (no upper limit), supporting microsecond to millisecond timing. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V at VCC = 3.3 V - guarantees reliable TTL-compatible triggering without additional logic buffers. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or small LEDs directly in indicator circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max at Tamb ≤ 110 °C (SO16) - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with moderate thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
74LV123DB,112 is supplied in the SOT109-1 plastic small outline package (SO16), 16-lead, 3.9 mm body width, with gull-wing leads and pin 1 index marker. Pin pitch is 1.27 mm; package meets JEDEC MS-012 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 2A | Negative-edge triggered input | Each initiates or extends output pulse on falling edge; tolerant of slow edges due to Schmitt action. |
| 1B, 2B | Positive-edge triggered input | Each initiates or extends output pulse on rising edge; same Schmitt-trigger robustness as A inputs. |
| 1RD, 2RD | Direct reset input | Active-low asynchronous termination of ongoing pulse; also accepts positive-edge trigger for alternate mode. |
| 1Q, 2Q | Active-HIGH output | Complementary to inverted outputs; drives HIGH during monostable timeout period. |
| 1Q, 2Q | Active-LOW output | Inverted output pair; provides simultaneous HIGH/LOW logic states for differential interface or latch enable. |
| 1CEXT, 2CEXT | External capacitor connection | Connects timing capacitor to ground; recommended to tie externally to GND (pin 8) for noise reduction. |
| 1REXT/CEXT, 2REXT/CEXT | Resistor-capacitor timing node | Joint connection point for REXT and CEXT; sets base pulse width per channel using tW ≈ K × REXT × CEXT. |
| VCC (pin 16), GND (pin 8) | Power supply terminals | Single-supply operation; decoupling capacitor required near VCC pin for stable timing performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Retriggerable monostable operation | Enables indefinite pulse extension via repeated edge triggers - critical for variable-duration timing in motor control or watchdog supervision. |
| Independent dual-channel architecture | Two fully isolated monostables share only VCC/GND; eliminates crosstalk and allows asymmetric timing configurations per channel. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs on A/B pins | Provides hysteresis (≈0.3 V at VCC = 3.3 V), rejecting noise on slow-rising sensor or switch signals without external RC filtering. |
| Clamp diode protected inputs | Allows safe interface to voltages > VCC (e.g., 5 V signals into 3.3 V system) using series current-limiting resistors. |
| Wide temperature qualification | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C - validated for use in automotive engine control units and industrial PLC I/O modules. |
Applications
| Industrial Sequencing | Power Management |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Generating timed enable pulses for sequential activation of relay banks in factory automation panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual monostable acts as programmable delay generator - one channel controls main power-up sequence, second manages auxiliary subsystem timing. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC timers or microcontroller-based delays, reducing BOM count and firmware complexity while maintaining deterministic timing. | Use Scenario: Implementing controlled power-on reset delay and brown-out recovery hold-off in embedded power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monostable generates fixed-duration assertion of /RESET line after VCC stabilizes; reset input terminates pulse early if voltage drops below threshold. Use Value: Ensures clean system initialization without external supervisor ICs; direct reset capability enables dynamic timeout adjustment during fault conditions. |
| Signal Debouncing | Interface Glitch Suppression |
Use Scenario: Debouncing mechanical pushbuttons and rotary encoders in human-machine interface (HMI) panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each monostable filters contact bounce by generating a clean, fixed-width output pulse after first valid edge - ignoring subsequent bounces within window. Use Value: Provides hardware-level debouncing with sub-microsecond jitter control, superior to software polling or RC+Schmitt solutions in high-reliability applications. | Use Scenario: Suppressing transient glitches on communication bus control lines (e.g., /CS, /WR) caused by EMI or hot-plug events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monostable stretches valid control signal duration past noise window; retriggering accommodates bursty interference without false deassertion. Use Value: Prevents spurious memory writes or peripheral misconfiguration in noisy industrial environments - no firmware intervention required. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar monostable multivibrator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC123A,118 | Same pinout and function but specified only to +85 °C; lower ICC (160 μA vs. 500 μA max); lacks JESD8-7 compliance below 1.2 V. | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer electronics where extended temperature range is unnecessary. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs industrial temperature requirements and ultra-low VCC operation is not needed. |
| SN74LV123AD | Texas Instruments variant; identical electrical specs but different thermal derating curve (11.2 mW/K above 106 °C vs. Nexperia's 12.4 mW/K above 110 °C). | Compatible in board layout and timing behavior; TI's version shows marginally better thermal performance at extreme ambient temperatures. | Prefer for designs already standardized on TI logic families or requiring tighter thermal margin above 110 °C. |
Compared with 74LVC123A,118 and SN74LV123AD, the 74LV123DB,112 uniquely combines -40 °C to +125 °C operation, JESD8-7 compliance down to 1.0 V, and SO16 packaging optimized for legacy industrial PCB footprints - making it the only choice for high-reliability, wide-VCC, extended-temperature monostable timing.

FAQ
What is the minimum external capacitor value required for stable operation?
The 74LV123DB,112 does not specify a minimum CEXT value. For optimal noise immunity and predictable timing, Nexperia recommends grounding pins 14 (1CEXT) and 6 (2CEXT) directly to GND (pin 8). When CEXT exceeds 10 nF, the pulse width formula tW ≈ K × REXT × CEXT applies with K = 0.48 at VCC = 2.0 V and 0.45 at VCC = 5.0 V.
Can both monostable channels be triggered simultaneously without interference?
Yes - the two monostable sections are electrically isolated except for shared VCC and GND. Simultaneous triggering of 1A/1B and 2A/2B produces independent output pulses with no crosstalk or timing skew. Propagation delays are matched within ±5 ns across channels at VCC = 3.3 V, enabling synchronized dual-pulse generation.
How does the reset input behave during power-up?
At power-up, the 74LV123DB,112 may generate an unintended output pulse due to internal state uncertainty. To prevent this, Nexperia recommends applying a pull-down RC network to nRD (e.g., 10 kΩ + 100 nF to GND), ensuring nRD remains LOW until VCC stabilizes - thereby holding both outputs inactive until deliberate triggering occurs.
Is the SO16 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the SOT109-1 (SO16) package used for 74LV123DB,112 is fully RoHS-compliant and lead-free, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 3 moisture sensitivity level (MSL-3). The device is rated for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D.3, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C.
