APPLICATION INFORMATION
Some examples of applications for the HEF4093B are:
•
Wave and pulse shapers
•
Astable multivibrators
•
Monostable multivibrators.

If a Schmitt trigger is driven via a high impedance (R > 1 kΩ) then it is necessary to incorporate a capacitor C of such
value that:

is the external parasitic capacitance between inputs and output; the value depends on the circuit board layout.
Note
The two inputs may be connected together, but this will result in a larger through-current at the moment of switching.
