CD74HC4538M96G4

Multivibrators Overview

The CD74HC4538M96G4 is a high-speed CMOS logic dual retriggerable precision monostable multivibrator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and features a maximum power supply current of 8 µA. The device provides low-level output currents of 5.2 mA and high-level output currents of -5.2 mA. Propagation delays are specified at 250 ns, 50 ns, and 43 ns depending on conditions. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C and is housed in a 16-pin SOIC-Narrow package.

Multivibrators Feature Summary

• Dual retriggerable precision monostable multivibrator configuration
• High-speed CMOS logic technology for efficient operation
• Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity

Multivibrators Applications

• Pulse timing circuits
• Frequency division
• Timing delay generation

Multivibrators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96G4 against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact package type and moisture sensitivity level required for your assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before purchase.

Multivibrators Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel monostable multivibrator with Schmitt-trigger inputs is required for high-speed applications. The HC series offers standard CMOS performance suitable for general-purpose digital logic. Consider the 16-SOIC package dimensions and the wide operating temperature range if environmental stability is a critical design constraint.

Multivibrators Part Context

This device belongs to the Texas Instruments 74HC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. The 74HC4538 specifically provides two independent monostable multivibrators in a single package. It is designed to replace older 54/74S or 54/74LS equivalents where lower power consumption and higher speed are beneficial, while maintaining compatible logic levels.

Multivibrators Replacement Considerations

The CD74HC4538MG4 is a verified equivalent variant within the same product line. Verify that any substitute maintains the same SOIC-16 package and electrical characteristics.
