MC14538BCP Dual Precision Retriggerable/Resettable Monostable Multivibrator PDIP-16

MC14538BCP Dual Precision Retriggerable/Resettable Monostable Multivibrator PDIP-16

The MC14538BCP Dual Precision Monostable Multivibrator is a CMOS timing IC featuring two independent monostable stages with retriggerable and resettable capability, housed in a standard 16-pin PDIP package. This device excels in generating single pulses of precise duration in response to input triggers, with flexibility for retriggering before timing completion and resetting asynchronously. It is widely used for timing delays, pulse stretching, frequency division, and debounce applications in digital systems. The robust CMOS design ensures low power consumption, wide operating voltage range, and good stability, making the MC14538BCP suitable for industrial, embedded, and consumer electronics requiring reliable pulse generation and timing control.
