Product details
Overview
CD4047BMT from Texas Instruments is a CMOS retriggerable monostable multivibrator and astable multivibrator IC with built-in oscillator, operating from 3 V to 18 V supply, delivering ±4.2 mA output drive at 10 V, with propagation delay of 120 ns typical at 10 V, and supporting temperature range of –55°C to +125°C for industrial and military-grade timing applications.
For engineers reviewing the CD4047BMT datasheet, CD4047BMT pinout, CD4047BMT application, or CD4047BMT equivalent, this device serves as a low-power, dual-mode timing generator for pulse shaping, clock division, and waveform synthesis where supply voltage flexibility and wide temperature operation are required.
Technical Context
The CD4047BMT integrates complementary MOSFET transistors in a single die to implement both astable (free-running) and monostable (one-shot) modes via mode-select input (MODE), with internal feedback paths enabling stable oscillation without external timing resistors in monostable mode when used with external capacitor only. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs provide noise immunity on trigger and reset lines.
It features complementary Q and Q̅ outputs, a reset input (RST) that overrides all states, and an enable input (ENABLE) that gates oscillator operation. The internal oscillator frequency in astable mode is determined by external R and C components, with f = 1/(4.4 × R × C) for standard configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 18 V - supports battery-powered and industrial rail systems without level-shifting |
| Output Drive Current | ±4.2 mA at 10 V - sufficient to directly drive TTL loads or small LEDs without buffering |
| Propagation Delay | 120 ns typical at 10 V - enables reliable timing resolution down to ~1 MHz edge rates |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial, automotive under-hood, and military environments |
| Input Threshold | VDD/2 ± 10% - Schmitt-trigger inputs ensure robust noise rejection on MODE, RST, and TRIG |
| Astable Frequency Range | 10 Hz to 1 MHz with external RC - covers low-speed control up to medium-speed clock generation |
| Monostable Pulse Width | 0.44 × R × C to 44 s - supports precise one-shot durations from microseconds to tens of seconds |
Pinout & Package
CD4047BMT is housed in a 14-lead SOIC (D) package, 3.9 mm wide, 8.65 mm long, 1.75 mm max height, with 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (TRIG) | Monostable Trigger Input | Active-high edge-sensitive input initiating one-shot pulse; internally pulled down |
| 2 (RST) | Reset Input | Asynchronous active-high reset forcing Q low and Q̅ high regardless of mode or state |
| 3 (CEXT) | External Timing Capacitor | Connects to ground to set monostable pulse width or astable frequency with REXT |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multivibrator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4098BM96 | Dual monostable only; no astable mode; higher propagation delay (200 ns) | Limited to one-shot applications requiring dual independent triggers | Select when only monostable functionality is needed and dual channels are required |
| LM555DR | Bipolar design; higher supply current (3–6 mA); narrower voltage range (4.5–16 V) | Higher power dissipation and less stable timing at temperature extremes | Choose for legacy designs requiring identical pinout and analog-timing familiarity |
Compared with CD4098BM96 and LM555DR, the CD4047BMT uniquely combines dual-mode operation, ultra-low standby current, and extended temperature capability-making it optimal for new designs requiring flexible, low-power timing in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the function of the MODE pin on the CD4047BMT?
The MODE pin selects between astable (free-running oscillator) and monostable (one-shot) operation: logic high configures CD4047BMT as an astable multivibrator generating continuous square waves, while logic low enables monostable mode where a rising edge on TRIG initiates a single output pulse whose width is set by external R and C. This dual-mode capability eliminates the need for separate timer ICs in many system designs.
Can the CD4047BMT operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the CD4047BMT is fully specified to operate from 3 V to 18 V, including 3.3 V nominal rails. At 3.3 V, output drive is reduced to ±1.5 mA, propagation delay increases to ~220 ns, and timing accuracy remains within datasheet limits. It is commonly used in mixed-voltage systems where interfacing with 3.3 V logic is required without level shifters.
What is the maximum recommended value for REXT when using the CD4047BMT in astable mode?
Texas Instruments specifies a maximum REXT of 10 MΩ for stable operation in astable mode. Values above this may cause erratic oscillation or failure to start due to leakage currents and input capacitance effects. For reliable 1 Hz–10 kHz operation, REXT between 10 kΩ and 1 MΩ paired with CEXT from 100 pF to 10 µF is recommended per the CD4047BMT datasheet.
Does the CD4047BMT require external components to function in monostable mode?
Yes, the CD4047BMT requires an external capacitor (CEXT) connected from Pin 3 to ground and optionally an external resistor (REXT) from Pin 4 to VDD to set pulse width in monostable mode. With only CEXT, pulse width equals 0.44 × RINT × CEXT, where RINT is a fixed internal resistance (~1 MΩ). Adding REXT allows precise adjustment of pulse duration across six decades.
Is the CD4047BMT pin-compatible with other CD4000-series timers like the CD4060 or CD4020?
No, the CD4047BMT has a unique 14-pin SOIC pinout optimized for its dual-mode multivibrator function and is not pin-compatible with CD4060 (16-pin) or CD4020 (16-pin) ripple counters. Its Pin 1 (TRIG), Pin 2 (RST), and Pin 6 (MODE) assignments differ fundamentally from counter ICs. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision and logic redesign.
