December 15, 2005[Ideas For Design] Good One-Shot Is Based On An LVDS Receiver
In the days of large split supplies, it was relatively easy to make a good monostable multivibrator. Even 5-V single supplies posed only a moderate challenge. Making a good one-shot to run on 3.3 V is more difficult, though. The variation of CMOS thresholds limits their usefulness for precise timing. Plus, limited voltage " headroom" can make designing a good reference plus comparison circuitry difficult outside the environment of monolithic matched parts. However, newer devices...
