HEF4538B
Dual precision monostable multivibrator
Rev. 11 — 19 October 2018 Product data sheet
1. General description
The HEF4538B is a dual retriggerable-resettable monostable multivibrator. Each multivibrator has
an active LOW trigger/retrigger input (nA), an active HIGH trigger/retrigger input (nB), an overriding
active LOW direct reset input (nCD), an output (nQ) and its complement (nQ), and two pins
(nREXT/CEXT, and nCEXT, always connected to ground) for connecting the external timing
components CEXT and REXT. Typical pulse width variation over the specified temperature range is
±0.2 %.
The multivibrator may be triggered by either the positive or the negative edges of the input pulse
and will produce an accurate output pulse with a pulse width range of 10 μs to infinity. The duration
and accuracy of the output pulse are determined by the external timing components CEXT and
REXT. The output pulse width (tW) is equal to REXT × CEXT. The linear design techniques in
LOCMOS (Local Oxide CMOS) guarantee precise control of the output pulse width. A LOW level at
nCD terminates the output pulse immediately. The trigger inputs’ Schmitt trigger action makes the
circuit highly tolerant of slower rise and fall times.
It operates over a recommended VDD power supply range of 3 V to 15 V referenced to VSS (usually
ground). Unused inputs must be connected to VDD, VSS, or another input.

[1] The typical values of the propagation delay and transition times are calculated from the extrapolation formulas shown (CL in pF).
[2] tt is the same as tTHL and tTLH.
[3] The maximum permissible resistance REXT, which holds the specified accuracy of tW (nQ, nQ output), depends on the leakage current
of the capacitor CEXT and the leakage current of the HEF4538B.

of an Nexperia product can reasonably be expected to result in personal
injury, death or severe property or environmental damage. Nexperia and its

Nexperia does not accept any liability related to any default, damage, costs
or problem which is based on any weakness or default in the customer’s
applications or products, or the application or use by customer’s third party
customer(s). Customer is responsible for doing all necessary testing for the
customer’s applications and products using Nexperia products in order to

use by customer’s third party customer(s). Nexperia does not accept any
liability in this respect.

repeated exposure to limiting values will permanently and irreversibly affect
