In the monostable mode,the timer functions as a
one-shot. Referring to figure 2 the external capaci-

The circuit triggers on a negative-going input signal
when the level reaches 1/3 V
circuit remains in this state until the set time has
elapsed,even if it is triggered again during this in-
terval. The duration of the output HIGH state is
given by t = 1.1 R x C.
Notice that since the charge rate and the threshold
level of the comparator are both directly propor-
tional to supply voltage, the timing interval is inde-
pendent of supply. Applying a negative pulse
simultaneously to the Reset terminal (pin 4 or 10)
and the Trigger terminal (pin 2 or 8) during the tim-
ing 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. Dur-
ing the time the reset pulse is applied, the output is
driven to its LOW state.
When a negative trigger pulse is applied to the trig-
ger terminal, the flip-flop is set, releasing the short
circuit across the external capacitor and driving the
output HIGH. The voltage across the capacitor in-
creases exponentiallywith the time constant τ = R x
C.
When the voltage across the capacitor equals 2/3
V
discharges the capacitor rapidly and drives the out-
put to its LOW state.
Figure 3 shows the actual waveforms generated in
this mode of operation.
When Reset is not used, it should be tied high to
avoid any possible or false triggering.
