Working Principles

The MM74HC123ASJ is a dual retriggerable monostable multivibrator. It can operate in either monostable or astable mode, depending on the external connections. In monostable mode, a trigger pulse applied to the A pin initiates a fixed-duration output pulse. The duration of the output pulse is determined by the values of the external resistor and capacitor connected to the RCext pin.

In astable mode, the MM74HC123ASJ functions as an oscillator. The timing of the output pulses is controlled by the external resistor and capacitor connected to the RCext pin. The B pin is used to retrigger the multivibrator, extending the output pulse duration.
