The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC. 74LS123 d-c triggered multivibrators feature output pulse-duration control by three methods. The basic pulse time is programmed by the selection of external resistance and capacitance values (see typical application data).
