Thanks for this idea. I have been away from the bench for a while but have tried it out on Spice and a 1k resistor and 1nF cap seems to work just great for me.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I like the XOR approach, especially the single gate with an RC delay. My timing requirements are not super tight. The output needs to clock a flip-flop that can handle up to 175 MHz - so around 6 ns pulse width minimum. My application will work just fine with 100 ns -- or even wider -- pulse widths, so I am thinking a 1k resistor and a 1 nF cap as RC.

Hi John, Sorry about the long delay answering. Went to Europe for two weeks with practically no access to internet.
> 1. What output pulse width would you like?
No narrower than about 6 ns. I am using it to clock a SN74LVC1G175 flip-flop (your idea, actually, some time ago..). 20-100 ns would be ideal.

Yes.

No, it should be non-retriggerable. I have seen the suggestion for an XOR with an RC delay circuit. I think that might work just fine here. Thoughts?

No, not in my close family line. Legend has it there were "northern Beesons" who went to Ohio after the Revolutionary War and "southern Beesons" who went to Alabama and elsewhere. All the well-known Beesons (except for Chalkley Beeson, my great-great uncle - Google him) came from the southern line. -- Douglas Beeson <c.difficile@gmail.com>

I suppose there are a lot of Beesons, but do you know of a physics professor at LSUNO, ca 1965?

I think the request was for a simple circuit.

--- 1. What output pulse width would you like? 2. Do you want the same output width for both high and low going input edges? 3. would you like the one-shot to be retriggerable on one or both edges, or would you like it to be non-retriggerable? John Fields

You can do the XOR trick that others have suggested, but you could also use a dual one-shot. This is a tach circuit that uses both edges. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53724080/Circuits/Timing/DoubleTach.jpg -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc picosecond timing laser drivers and controllers jlarkin att highlandtechnology dott com http://www.highlandtechnology.com
