The HEF4528B is a dual retriggerable-resetable monostable multivibrator. Each multivibrator has an active LOW input (nA), and active HIGH input (nB), an active LOW clear direct input (nCD), an output (nQ) and its complement (nQ), and two external timing component connecting pins (nCEXT, always connected to ground, and nREXT/CEXT).

An external timing capacitor (C_EXT) must be connected between nCEXT and nREXT/CEXT and an external resistor (R_EXT) must be connected between nREXT/CEXT and V_DD. The output pulse duration is determined by the external timing components C_EXT and R_EXT. A HIGH-to-LOW transition on nA when nB is LOW or a LOW-to-HIGH transition on nB when nA is HIGH produces a positive pulse (LOW-HIGH-LOW) on nQ and a negative pulse (HIGH-LOW-HIGH) on nQ if the nCD is HIGH. A LOW on nCD forces nQ LOW, nQ HIGH and inhibits any further pulses until nCD is HIGH.

It operates over a recommended V_DD power supply range of 3 V to 15 V referenced to V_SS (usually ground). Unused inputs must be connected to V_DD, V_SS, or another input.
