Product Description: CD4538 DIP Dual Retriggerable Precision Monostable Multivibrator
The CD4538 DIP Dual Retriggerable Precision Monostable Multivibrator is a CMOS-based integrated circuit designed to provide dual monostable multivibrator functionality in a DIP-16 package. It contains two independent monostable multivibrator circuits, each capable of producing a single output pulse when triggered. The duration of the pulse (also known as the monostable period) is determined by an external resistor and capacitor, allowing precise timing and control over pulse width.
As a retriggerable device, the CD4538 can be triggered multiple times while the output pulse is still active. This feature makes it particularly useful in applications where continuous or repetitive pulses are needed in response to external events or conditions, such as in pulse width modulation, timing circuits, and event counting systems.
The IC offers a wide input voltage range (from 3V to 18V) and is ideal for both low-voltage and standard logic systems. Built with CMOS technology, the CD4538 ensures low power consumption and high noise immunity, making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial, automotive, and embedded system applications.
Key Features:

- Wide Voltage Range: Operates within a 3V to 18V voltage range, making it suitable for both low-voltage and standard logic systems.
- Low Power Consumption: Built using CMOS technology, the IC offers low power dissipation, making it ideal for battery-powered and energy-efficient applications.
- DIP-16 Package: Comes in a DIP-16 package, which is easy to integrate into breadboards, PCBs, and prototype systems.
- High Noise Immunity: Provides stable operation even in environments with significant electrical noise, ensuring reliable pulse generation.
Applications:
- Pulse Width Modulation (PWM): The CD4538 is ideal for generating precise pulses for PWM applications, such as motor speed control, LED dimming, and signal modulation.
- Timing Circuits: The monostable multivibrator function is used in timing circuits, where accurate and predictable pulses are needed for delay generation and time-sensitive operations.
- Event Counters: The CD4538 can be used in event counting applications, where each trigger event produces a fixed-duration output pulse for counting or timing purposes.
- Frequency Control: In systems requiring frequency division or signal synchronization, the CD4538 can be used to generate precise timing pulses that help control the system’s frequency.
- Pulse Generators: Useful in pulse generation for digital signal processing, frequency synthesis, and digital communications where regular timing pulses are necessary.
- Oscillators: When used in conjunction with additional components, the IC can form part of an oscillator circuit, generating stable square waves or other periodic signals.
- Embedded Systems: The CD4538 is widely used in embedded systems for generating timed responses to triggers, event-driven actions, and precise delays.
- Measurement Systems: Ideal for measurement systems where accurate timing intervals are required, such as time-of-flight sensors, tachometers, and timing analysis equipment.
- Control Systems: In automated control systems, the IC can be used to generate control pulses or delays for sequence controllers, actuators, or process regulators.
