Pin Function Specifications and Circuit Principle
The SN74LVC1G123DCUR is a single monostable multivibrator (one-shot pulse generator). This device features a single-input (trigger), and it generates a pulse whose duration is controlled by external resistors and capacitor s.
Key Features: Single monostable multivibrator Low voltage (1.65V to 5.5V operating voltage range) CMOS technology for low power consumption Push-pull output Small package type (SOT-23, 5-pin package)The primary function of this device is to generate a time-controlled pulse. The width of this pulse is determined by the external timing components (resistor and capacitor) connected to the multivibrator.
Package and Pinout (Pin Function List)
The SN74LVC1G123DCUR is in a 5-pin SOT-23 package.
Pin Number Pin Name Function 1 GND Ground 2 TRIG (Trigger) Input pin for triggering the monostable multivibrator. A pulse on this pin initiates the generation of an output pulse with a duration determined by the external resistor and capacitor. 3 OUT (Output) Output pin that generates the pulse. The duration of the high output signal is determined by the external components. 4 RESET This pin resets the output to a low state when activated (logic low). It can be used to reset the device or the output pulse if needed. 5 VCC Positive supply voltage pin. This pin connects to the power source, which should be between 1.65V and 5.5V for proper operation.FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is the SN74LVC1G123DCUR? The SN74LVC1G123DCUR is a monostable multivibrator, which generates a time-controlled pulse based on the external timing components. What is the operating voltage range for the SN74LVC1G123DCUR? The operating voltage range for this device is between 1.65V and 5.5V. What is the maximum current that can be drawn from the output pin? The maximum output current is typically 8mA. Exceeding this can damage the device. How is the pulse width controlled? The pulse width is determined by external components—usually a resistor and capacitor—connected to the device. What package does the SN74LVC1G123DCUR come in? It comes in a 5-pin SOT-23 package. Can the SN74LVC1G123DCUR operate with 3.3V logic? Yes, it operates well within the 3.3V logic range. What is the logic level of the RESET pin? The RESET pin is active low. When pulled low, it resets the output of the device to low. What happens if TRIG is held high? If the TRIG pin is held high, no output pulse will be generated until a low-to-high transition occurs. Can this device be used for frequency generation? While the SN74LVC1G123DCUR can generate a pulse, it is typically used for one-shot timing rather than continuous frequency generation.How does the device react to power-on?
On power-up, the output is initially low. A pulse is only generated when a low-to-high trigger is applied.What are the typical applications of the SN74LVC1G123DCUR?
It's commonly used in timing circuits, pulse generation, event counters, and other logic functions where a time-delayed response is needed.Can this device generate multiple output pulses?
No, it generates a single output pulse for each trigger event. To generate multiple pulses, it must be triggered multiple times.What are the limitations of the device?
The main limitation is that it can only generate one pulse at a time, and the width of the pulse is dependent on external components.Can I use this device for signal modulation?
While it is capable of generating timed pulses, its use in modulation is limited by the control over the pulse width.What is the function of the OUT pin?
The OUT pin outputs the pulse generated by the monostable multivibrator. It will be high for the duration of the pulse and then return low.What type of logic does the SN74LVC1G123DCUR use?
It uses CMOS logic, which ensures low power consumption and fast switching.Can I use the SN74LVC1G123DCUR with a 5V supply?
Yes, it can operate with a 5V supply, and it is rated to work within the 1.65V to 5.5V range.What is the maximum output voltage at the OUT pin?
The maximum output voltage is close to the supply voltage (VCC), with a typical value of VCC - 0.2V.How do I reset the device during operation?
The RESET pin should be pulled low to reset the device during operation.What is the delay time after triggering the SN74LVC1G123DCUR?
The delay time (or pulse width) depends on the external resistor and capacitor connected to the device.Conclusion
This detailed explanation and FAQ section should provide clarity on the functionality and usage of the SN74LVC1G123DCUR component. The device operates as a simple monostable multivibrator with a straightforward trigger mechanism. By adjusting the external resistor and capacitor, you can control the pulse width, making it suitable for applications in timing and event-driven logic circuits.
