I tried to find a pure digital electronic solution through simple digital integrated circuits like monoflops or similar but had no success so far.
The only thing I found so far was a pretty old part CD4098 monoflop
The datasheet of the CD4098-chip shows that for delay-times as short as 100 nanoseconds the chip is too slow.
So does anybody know of a much faster simple chip that could be used for signal-delays as short as 50 to 500 nano-seconds?
Second best solution would be a 1$ to 3$ cheap microcontroller. (But I doubt that there is one that fast and that cheap)
as it shall work with a single pulse the shiftregister should be without latch or must be with latch permanently enabled and the bit-output would have to be connected to the clock-input. Not sure if this would work.
Hi Stefan
Many years ago I played with simple signal delay and pulse circuits using only nand gates and RC delay.
One idea was to use the propagation delay time of the nand gate so I NAND ed the signal with the signal delayed through a chain of nands.
You can trim the delay using an RC and you can use schmitt gates for more precise transitions.
We also tried using a length of coax for the delayed part.
All good fun.
