BA225 / BA225F / BA235 / BA226 / BA226F / BA236

The BA225, BA225F, BA235, BA226, BA226F, and BA236 are monolithic ICs having independent monostable multi-
vibrator circuits which consume very low current (0.75mA typ.). Using external resistors and capacitors, the timing
control time can be set within a range from 0.01ms to 100ms.
As the BA225, BA225F, and BA235 are triggered at the rising edge of the signal, they have no trigger input differenti-
ating circuit and can be used in measuring instruments, control devices, digital data systems and other equipment as
sub-compact attachments. The BA226, BA226F, and BA236 are available as falling edge trigger types.
