FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (continued)

RE-TRIGGERED OPERATION

When a second trigger pulse follows the first its

effect will depend on the state of the multivibrator. If

the capacitor Cx is being charged the voltage level

of R/C external falls to Vrefl again and Q remains

high i.e. the retrigger pulse arrives in a time shorter

than the period Rx

⋅ Cx seconds, the capacitor

charging time constant. If the second trigger pulse

is very close to the initial trigger pulse it is ineffective

; i.e. the second trigger must arrive in the capacitor

discharge cycle to be ineffective; Hence the

minimum time for a second trigger to be effective

RESET OPERATION

CL is normally high. If CL is low, the trigger is not

effective because Q output goes low and trigger

control flip-flop is reset.

Also transistor Op is turned on and Cx is charged

IC becomes waiting state both in operating and non

operating state.
