Hi guys,
I'm very excited to see "higher logic" in the forums. I'm tinkering on a project for a friend and as a function of some industrial process he has a need to be able to make a pulse longer in duration. I don't know as of yet how much longer but I'm assuming in the millisecond range. He did tell me he see maybe 300 pulses a second at full production speed.
I considered a simple "one-shot" type of solution, utilizing a falling edge trigger but I've never dealt with this style circuit before so I don't know if that will work. Looking over the data sheet, I don't believe the 555 is fast enough.
So, just for clarification, this would be the objective:
1. He sees up to 300 pulses a second, pulses vary in length.
2. I need to be able to make each pulse longer by the same amount. (example) he sees a 2 mS pulse followed by a 2.4 mS pulse. We want to add an additional mS to each pulse so our output becomes a 3 mS pulse followed by a 3.4 mS pulse.
Anyone have a simple idea that I'm not seeing? Any advice would be appreciated!
