Part Verification Review

I’ll switch the part identity to SN74AHC123AN, use TI’s official AHC datasheet, update the key metadata and terminal properties, then verify the changes.
Part name, description, datasheet URL, MPN, manufacturer, package, and key operating metadata are updated to SN74AHC123AN; now I’m filling in the terminal pin types/descriptions.
Updated the part to SN74AHC123AN and verified it against TI’s official SNx4AHC123A datasheet. Metadata now reflects the AHC part, 2 V–5.5 V operating range, PDIP-16 N package, TI manufacturer, and the terminal pin types/descriptions are populated from the datasheet.
Open items:
  • None.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Review/publish the updated part.
  2. Optionally re-run a full part QA review before using it in another design.

FieldCurrent valueReview result
Part name / projectSN74HC123NQuestionable for TI; official TI search did not confirm this exact orderable MPN.
Manufacturer Part NumberSN74HC123NMismatch risk: exact TI MPN not found on TI pages during web search.
Manufacturer NameTexas InstrumentsNot verified for exact SN74HC123N; TI has related CD74HC123, SN74AHC123A, and SN74AHCT123A families.
DescriptionMonostable Multivibrator 5.3 ns 16-PDIPThe 5.3 ns value matches the queried AHCT datasheet, not a verified HC-family datasheet for SN74HC123N.
Package or Case CodePDIPMatches a 16-pin TI N PDIP-style package mechanically.
Pin count16Matches queried datasheet and footprint.
Datasheet URLhttps://storage.googleapis.com/graviton-electric-symbols/document_assets/user-uploaded/76e0f56adf805f2c34f389d23dcad7f5f50feb9e89a7d9a3366ddb112fced395.pdfSet already, so I did not change it. Content is TI SNx4AHCT123A Rev. H, not an exact SN74HC123N datasheet.
Datasheet Search Result
The Datasheet URL property was already populated, so no Datasheet property update was made.
Official TI/public search findings:
Conclusion: the current Datasheet URL is useful for the existing symbol/footprint comparison, but it is not an exact datasheet match for the stated MPN SN74HC123N.

Mismatches / Issues to Flag
  1. MPN vs datasheet mismatch
    Current MPN is SN74HC123N, but the Datasheet URL content is SNx4AHCT123A, not an exact HC-family or exact-MPN datasheet.
  2. Questionable exact TI MPN
    Official TI search results did not confirm SN74HC123N as a current TI product/orderable MPN. TI-related confirmed options include CD74HC123, SN74AHC123A, and SN74AHCT123A.
  3. Description timing likely sourced from wrong family
    The 5.3 ns description matches the AHCT datasheet query result. It should not be claimed for SN74HC123N unless an exact HC datasheet confirms it.
  4. Electrical specs likely wrong for HC
    AHCT data gives VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and TTL thresholds. A true HC-family part generally has CMOS thresholds and may have a different VCC range/timing. Do not use AHCT electrical limits for an HC MPN without confirmation.
  5. Pin types/descriptions are incomplete
    Symbol terminals are all Unspecified and missing Pin Description properties, even though the datasheet provides pin I/O roles and descriptions.
  6. Footprint appears compatible, but exact part identity remains unresolved
    The footprint looks valid for TI N PDIP-16 geometry; the bigger issue is whether the part should be SN74HC123N, SN74AHCT123AN, SN74AHC123AN, or CD74HC123E.
Choose the intended TI part family and correct metadata accordingly:
  • If the intended part is AHCT and the 5.3 ns / 4.5–5.5 V / TTL-input data is desired: change MPN to a valid TI AHCT orderable such as SN74AHCT123AN and use the official AHCT URL https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn74ahct123a.pdf.
  • If the intended part is AHC: change MPN to a valid AHC orderable such as SN74AHC123AN and use https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn74ahc123a.pdf.
  • If the intended part is HC: consider TI CD74HC123E / CD74HC123 family and use https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/cd74hc123.pdf, then update timing/electrical metadata to match that datasheet.
  • Add terminal Pin Type and Pin Description properties from the datasheet pin-function table after selecting the correct family.
Bottom Line
The pin order and PDIP footprint are broadly consistent with the queried 16-pin monostable multivibrator datasheet. The major mismatch is part identity: this project is named and labeled SN74HC123N, while its datasheet and key description specs come from the SNx4AHCT123A family.
