Core Features & Advantages

The CD4047BM delivers a versatile CMOS timing solution combining monostable (one-shot) and astable (free-running) multivibrator modes with retriggerable and external countdown options in a single 14-pin SOIC.

  • Primary Function: Low-power CMOS multivibrator configurable for monostable, astable, or retriggerable operation, requiring only one external resistor and capacitor for timing.
  • Advantages:
    • Dual-mode versatility — supports monostable (positive/negative-edge trigger) and astable (free-running or gatable) modes with retrigger and external countdown options, replacing multiple dedicated timer ICs.
    • 50% duty cycle in astable mode — guaranteed symmetric output without external divider networks, simplifying clock generation for digital systems.
    • Wide 3V–18V supply range with ultra-low CMOS power — special oscillator configuration minimizes power consumption, enabling battery-operated and noise-sensitive digital timing applications.

Typical Application Scenarios

  • Industry: Industrial / Consumer / Test & Measurement
  • Equipment: Timing circuits, frequency multipliers/dividers, envelope detectors, time-delay relays
  • Use Cases:
    • Precision timing and pulse-width generation in industrial control systems with monostable mode and retriggerable extension.
    • Low-frequency clock generation and frequency division in CMOS digital systems using astable mode with 50% duty cycle.
    • Envelope detection and time-delay applications in communication and test equipment with wide 3V–18V supply flexibility.
