Application information
Monostable operation
In the monostable mode, the timer operates like a one-shot generator. Referring to figure 2,
the external capacitor is initially held discharged by a transistor inside the timer, as shown in
Figure
Figure 4.
The circuit triggers on a negative-going input signal when the level reaches 1/3 V
triggered, the circuit remains in this state until the set time has elapsed, even if it is triggered
again during this interval. The duration of the output HIGH state is given by t = 1.1 R x C.
It can be noticed that since the charge rate and the threshold level of the comparator are
both directly proportional to the supply voltage, the timing interval is independent of the
supply. Applying a negative pulse simultaneously to the Reset terminal (pin 4) and the
Trigger terminal (pin 2) during the timing cycle discharges the external capacitor and causes
the cycle to start over. The timing cycle now starts on the positive edge of the reset pulse.
While the reset pulse is applied, the output is driven to the LOW state.
When a negative trigger pulse is applied to pin 2, the flip-flop is set, releasing the short
circuit across the external capacitor and driving the output HIGH. The voltage across the
capacitor increases exponentially with the time constant τ = R x C.
When the voltage across the capacitor equals 2/3 V
which then discharges the capacitor rapidly and drives the output to its LOW state.

When Reset is not used, it should be tied high to avoid any possible or false triggering.
