Nanosecond Electronic Pulse Stretcher

Kevin Liao1

Hi, I want to build a particular modules called " pulse stretcher" that can stretch the input pulse (around 20~50 ns) to about 10 ns larger, e.g. 30 ns input and 40 ns output. Do someone have any idea to realize it? I really appreciate the help

Hi Kevin,

This might work if you can implement the 10ns delay!

What are the clocks available to you?

Regards,

Eben

Hi Eben,

Thank you for your reply. What I am thinking now is to split the electric pulse into two branches and delay one with 10 ns and apply both the delayed branch and non-delayed branch to an OR gate, what do you think about it? Besides, I think the following RC circuit can help too. Can you build such a module?

Hi Kevin,

I can't say if the circuit will work or not but it will be worth your time simulating it before you actually build it. I like your OR gate approach and i can't think of any reason why it will not work, it makes mine seem like an overkill. Goodluck with this project!

Regards,

Eben
