description/ordering information(continued)
Pulse triggering occurs at a particular voltage level and is not directly related to the transition time of the input
pulse. The A
, B, and CLR inputs have Schmitt triggers with sufficient hysteresis to handle slow input transition
rates with jitter-free triggering at the outputs.
Once triggered, the basic pulse duration can be extended by retriggering the gated low-level-active (A
) or
high-level-active (B) input. Pulse duration can be reduced by taking CLR
low. CLR input can be used to override
A
or B inputs. The input/output timing diagram illustrates pulse control by retriggering the inputs and early
clearing.
The variance in output pulse duration from device to device typically is less than ±0.5% for given external timing
components. An example of this distribution for the ’AHCT123A is shown in Figure 10. Variations in output pulse
duration versus supply voltage and temperature are shown in Figure 6.
During power up, Q outputs are in the low state, and Q outputs are in the high state. The outputs are glitch free,
without applying a reset pulse.

SN74AHC123A and SN74AHCT123A, literature number SCLA014.
