CD4538 Dual Precision Monostable Multi Vibrator IC (DIP-16 Package)

CD4538 Dual Precision Monostable Multi Vibrator IC (DIP-16 Package)

The CD4538 is a dual precision monostable multi-vibrator IC housed in a DIP-16 package, designed for generating accurate time delays or pulse-widths in electronic circuits. This IC contains two independent monostable multivibrators, each capable of producing a single output pulse when triggered. The pulse duration is determined by an external resistor and capacitor, allowing for flexible timing configurations. Key features of the CD4538 include highly stable time periods over a wide range of temperatures and supply voltages, which is crucial for precision timing applications. The IC operates over a broad voltage range, from 3V to 15V, making it compatible with various digital and analog systems. The CD4538 is capable of both positive-edge and negative-edge triggering, providing versatility in circuit design. Each multivibrator within the CD4538 has separate inputs for triggering, reset, and control, as well as Q and Q' (complementary) outputs. This allows for multiple applications, such as pulse generation, time-delay circuits, frequency dividers, and one-shot pulse generation. The IC's CMOS technology ensures low power consumption and high noise immunity, which enhances its reliability in various environments.
