TimerBlox: Monostable
Pulse Generator (One Shot)
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®6993 is a monostable multivibrator (also known
as a “one-shot” pulse generator) with a programmable
pulse width of 1µs to 33.6 seconds. The LTC6993 is part
oftheTimerBlox® familyofversatilesilicontimingdevices.

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.
