Variable Duty Cycle Oscillator using 74123 IC

variable duty cycle oscillator

IC 74123 is a digital IC called a dual re-triggerable monostable multivibrator or a one-shot. It has two identical circuits that can be used for things like generating pulses or delaying signals. You can use the IC 74123 by connecting it to other parts like resistors and capacitors and then using one of the trigger inputs. This will start a timing cycle that lasts for a certain amount of time, depending on the values of the other parts. One of the great things about the IC 74123 is that it…
