TimerBlox: Monostable
Pulse Generator (One Shot)
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
TheLTC®6993isamonostablemultivibrator(alsoknownas
a “one-shot” pulse generator) with a programmable pulse
width of 1µs to 33.6 seconds. The LTC6993 is part of the
TimerBlox™ family of versatile silicon timing devices.

Pulse Width Max Error:
– <2.3% for Pulse Width > 512µs
– <3.4% for Pulse Width of 8µs to 512µs
– <4.9% for Pulse Width of 1µs to 8µs
Four LTC6993 Options Available:
A single resistor, R , programs an internal master os-

cillator frequency, setting the LTC6993’s time base. The
n
output pulse width is determined by this master oscillator
– Rising-Edge or Falling-Edge Trigger
– Retriggerable or Non-Retriggerable
and an internal clock divider, N , programmable to eight

The output pulse is initiated by a transition on the trigger
input(TRIG).Eachpartcanbeconfiguredtogenerateposi-
tive or negative output pulses. The LTC6993 is available
in four versions to provide different trigger signal polarity
and retrigger capability.
