DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
These devices are precision timing circuits capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. In the
time-delay or monostable mode of operation, the timed interval is controlled by a single external resistor and
capacitor network. In the astable mode of operation, the frequency and duty cycle can be controlled
independently with two external resistors and a single external capacitor.
The threshold and trigger levels normally are two-thirds and one-third, respectively, of VCC. These levels can be
altered by use of the control-voltage terminal. When the trigger input falls below the trigger level, the flip-flop is
set, and the output goes high. If the trigger input is above the trigger level and the threshold input is above the
threshold level, the flip-flop is reset and the output is low. The reset (RESET) input can override all other inputs
and can be used to initiate a new timing cycle. When RESET goes low, the flip-flop is reset, and the output goes
low. When the output is low, a low-impedance path is provided between discharge (DISCH) and ground.
The output circuit is capable of sinking or sourcing current up to 200 mA. Operation is specified for supplies of
5 V to 15 V. With a 5-V supply, output levels are compatible with TTL inputs.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Monostable Operation
For monostable operation, any of these timers can be connected as shown in Figure 9. If the output is low,
application of a negative-going pulse to the trigger (TRIG) sets the flip-flop (Q goes low), drives the output high,
and turns off Q1. Capacitor C then is charged through RA until the voltage across the capacitor reaches the
threshold voltage of the threshold (THRES) input. If TRIG has returned to a high level, the output of the threshold
comparator resets the flip-flop (Q goes high), drives the output low, and discharges C through Q1.

Figure 9. Circuit for Monostable Operation


Monostable operation is initiated when TRIG voltage falls below the trigger threshold. Once initiated, the
sequence ends only if TRIG is high at the end of the timing interval. Because of the threshold level and
saturation voltage of Q1, the output pulse duration is approximately tw = 1.1RAC. Figure 11 is a plot of the time
constant for various values of RA and C. The threshold levels and charge rates both are directly proportional to
the supply voltage, VCC. The timing interval is, therefore, independent of the supply voltage, so long as the
supply voltage is constant during the time interval.
Applying a negative-going trigger pulse simultaneously to RESET and TRIG during the timing interval discharges
C and reinitiates the cycle, commencing on the positive edge of the reset pulse. The output is held low as long
as the reset pulse is low. To prevent false triggering, when RESET is not used, it should be connected to VCC.

Astable Operation
As shown in Figure 12, adding a second resistor, RB, to the circuit of Figure 9 and connecting the trigger input to
the threshold input causes the timer to self-trigger and run as a multivibrator. The capacitor C charges through
RA and RB and then discharges through RB only. Therefore, the duty cycle is controlled by the values of RA and
RB.
This astable connection results in capacitor C charging and discharging between the threshold-voltage level
(0.67 VCC) and the trigger-voltage level (0.33 VCC). As in the monostable circuit, charge and discharge
times (and, therefore, the frequency and duty cycle) are independent of the supply voltage.

Missing-Pulse Detector
The circuit shown in Figure 15 can be used to detect a missing pulse or abnormally long spacing between
consecutive pulses in a train of pulses. The timing interval of the monostable circuit is retriggered continuously by
the input pulse train as long as the pulse spacing is less than the timing interval. A longer pulse spacing, missing
pulse, or terminated pulse train permits the timing interval to be completed, thereby generating an output pulse
as shown in Figure 16.

Frequency Divider
By adjusting the length of the timing cycle, the basic circuit of Figure 9 can be made to operate as a frequency
divider. Figure 17 shows a divide-by-three circuit that makes use of the fact that retriggering cannot occur during
the timing cycle.

Pulse-Width Modulation
The operation of the timer can be modified by modulating the internal threshold and trigger voltages, which is
accomplished by applying an external voltage (or current) to CONT. Figure 18 shows a circuit for pulse-width
modulation. A continuous input pulse train triggers the monostable circuit, and a control signal modulates the
threshold voltage. Figure 19 shows the resulting output pulse-width modulation. While a sine-wave modulation
signal is shown, any wave shape could be used.

Pulse-Position Modulation
As shown in Figure 20, any of these timers can be used as a pulse-position modulator. This application
modulates the threshold voltage and, thereby, the time delay, of a free-running oscillator. Figure 21 shows a
triangular-wave modulation signal for such a circuit; however, any wave shape could be used.

Sequential Timer
Many applications, such as computers, require signals for initializing conditions during start-up. Other
applications, such as test equipment, require activation of test signals in sequence. These timing circuits can be
connected to provide such sequential control. The timers can be used in various combinations of astable or
monostable circuit connections, with or without modulation, for extremely flexible waveform control. Figure 22
shows a sequencer circuit with possible applications in many systems, and Figure 23 shows the output
waveforms.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are
sold subject to TIs terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TIs standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
