Hi, I'd like to take a long input pulse and trigger a much shorter one-shot pulse at its rising and falling edges. Ideally, only a single input should be required (i.e. the one long pulse) for minimal part count. I've looked over several timer ics and none seem to fit the bill or are too pricey like the 6993s. Can anyone suggest an appropriate ic? I would think it a common enough function to warrant a dedicated chip. Thanks, Ted

An RC, or a string of gates, can do the delay.

Hi and thanks for responding. I have a touch sensor. Goes on when touched and off when not. I want my uC to do a service operation at each edge of that (possibly long) 'pulse'. My uC needs about a second or so from power up to the beginning of program start. The uC is energized by that sensor signal being ON, at which point it immediately asserts another bit that controls whether to continue power to itself and other circuits. So the one-shot duration is just long enough to wake up the uC, which then services the event and then goes back to sleep. I plan to use a four cell (or possibly six) penlight pack for power. I'm hoping to tolerate battery decay to just above 3.3 volts from a max of about 6 or 9. So the one-shots are about a second or so in duration and the spacing between the sensor signal edges is typically several seconds. Most one-shots I've found assume a trigger pulse much shorter than the one-shot itself and I need the reverse. An input that initiates an identical pulse at either edge would be ideal. Price is a consideration - a cheap timer and few external components is a plus. I want to implement a sleep mode whose quiescent current only powers the touch sensor (at ~ 5nA) to maximize battery life with all else being off.

Chips like: CD4538 - https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Fairchild%20PDFs/CD4538BC.pdf 74123 - http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn74lvc1g123.pdf TPL5110 - file:///C:/Backup/Android/Feeder/tpl5110.pdf seem promising, but I'd like to spice test whether any can do the job but can find no models. Hoping I might happen upon a guru. Could only find: HC4538_JT.zip - http://www.analog-innovations.com/subcircuits.html but it doesn't appear to work.

Hi Mike,> interrupt on pin change?I think that would require my Bluetooth Bee Standalone v1 (the uC) to remain energized to catch the interrupt, so that would not work. I could simply keep the uC on while the touch sensor is on, but I'd rather not consume current when the uC is not needed for service (i.e. the bulk of the long pulse).
