26S02PC

Overview

The 26S02PC is a dual monostable retriggerable reset logic component manufactured by Rochester Electronics, LLC. It functions as a monostable multivibrator designed for timing and pulse generation applications. The device integrates two independent channels within a single package, allowing for precise control of output pulse widths triggered by external signals. As an end-of-life semiconductor sourced by Rochester, it maintains original manufacturer specifications for reliability in legacy systems.

Feature Summary

• Dual channel configuration providing two independent monostable circuits
• Retriggerable operation allows pulse extension upon subsequent trigger events
• Integrated reset functionality for controlled output termination

Applications

• Timing circuit generation in industrial control systems
• Pulse width modulation in legacy communication interfaces
• Debouncing switches in embedded hardware designs

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity through Rochester Electronics authorized channels. Confirm lot traceability and manufacturing date codes against original specifications. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly. Request test reports if required for critical safety applications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent timing channels are required in a compact form factor. Consider the retriggerable feature for applications requiring dynamic pulse adjustment. Verify voltage levels and package compatibility with existing PCB layouts before integration into new designs.

Part Context

Rochester Electronics specializes in lifecycle management for obsolete semiconductors. The 26S02PC represents a continuation of supply for discontinued logic families. This part supports manufacturers maintaining production of equipment that relies on specific vintage logic components without redesigning the underlying circuitry.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may be limited due to the specialized nature of monostable logic. Evaluate functional equivalents from other manufacturers only after verifying electrical parameter alignment and package dimensions. Consult official substitution guides for validated alternatives.
