The CD4047 is a low-powered monostable/astable multivibrator IC. The CD4047 IC allows a positive or negative edge-triggered monostable multivibrator mode with retriggering and external counting options
Supply voltage range: 3.0V to 15V
The CD4047 consists of 14 pins for both- a small outline integrated circuit and a dual-inline package
Maximum Power Dissipation(Pd): 700mW in DIP Package
Low power consumption: special CMOS oscillator for low power configuration
Operates in both Monostable(one-shot) and Astable(free-running) operation
The CD4047 IC is a low power CMOS logic based multivibrator circuit IC. It can operate either in the monostable or astable mode. Furthermore, this IC is easy to configure for both modes and requires few external components to operate. It has a voltage range of 3V-15V but works best at 5V.

Monostable Mode Features
Positive and negative edge trigger pins for enabling monostable operation.
The output pulse width is independent of the trigger pulse duration.
Retrigger pin is available for expansion of pulse width.
Astable Mode Features
Creates a 50% duty cycle
Free running operating mode with oscillated output
