SN74LVC1G123: Can CLR be used only as resetting pulse , but not as trigger

Part Number: SN74LVC1G123

Please refer the below image. Can I use CLR pin to reset the output pulse, but the CLR should not trigger the output pulse again?

  • Hi Ramesh,

    You would need to coordinate the CLR input with one of the other inputs to prevent a trigger after clearing the output.

    I marked the trigger input with a blue T above.

    When CLR\ is forced LOW, the device is immediately reset, turning off the output pulse.

    If A\ is LOW and B is HIGH, then switching CLR\ back HIGH will trigger an output.

    If either A\ is HIGH or B is LOW, then switching CLR\ back HIGH will not trigger an output.

    From your diagram (figure 8 in the Nexperia datasheet),

    The rising edge on CLR\ marked (1) would not trigger an output pulse because B is LOW, disabling the trigger input to the device. 

    The rising edge marked (2) would cause a trigger because B is HIGH, enabling the trigger input.

    In other words - our device works the same as the Nexperia device.
