74HC4538 Monostable Multivibrator Logic IC 26 ns 16-SOIC

The 74HC4538 is a high-speed monostable multivibrator (also known as a one-shot pulse generator) IC designed to generate a single pulse of specified duration in response to an external trigger signal. This IC operates with a very short propagation delay of just 26 ns, making it suitable for high-frequency Applications. The monostable multivibrator has a single input for triggering, and it produces a fixed-width output pulse based on an external timing capacitor and resistor. As part of the HC (High-Speed CMOS) family, the 74HC4538 is highly efficient, offering low power consumption, fast response times, and high noise immunity. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V, making it compatible with various logic families. The IC is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, ideal for surface-mount applications in compact and high-density designs. This IC is widely used in time-delay circuits, pulse generation, and digital timing applications, where precise, short-duration pulses are required. Its versatile design allows it to be easily integrated into systems needing accurate signal timing without the need for additional complex components.
