Hi , I wish to do the following .

I'm working with cmos btw , under 100 khz .

I'm looking for some circuit or chip that can do this .

Thx you

You are going to have to help us out by describing what "this" is.

Nevermind, I see you have added an attachment.

What is the frequency of the input signal and what is the pulse width of the pulse you need to form off of the positive going edge?

It looks like what you may be needing is a one-shot. One IC that comes to mind immediately is an MM74HC123.

well I would like to control the pulse width also , it should be very tiny but I fear this will be too tiny .

The tiny little pulse should be terminated when my comparator reaches 0 volts , IE , another pulse .

hgmjr is right. 123 is the right part to use here.

take a look at its datasheet and you will know how to control pulse width.

10 to 15 volts maximum

regular cmos ranges

basicy , that short pulse should end when my capacitor voltage is below 5 millivolts ( fast comparator pulse )

this is too make sure my capacitor is empty

the pulse controls a transistor wich "tries" to totally discharge a capacitor as fast as possible . ( pF range , dont worry )

You will not able to use the 74HC123. It is intended for 5V use. You will need to use the CD14538.

well , that chip is much too rare , had trouble even finding the datasheet .

There has to be an easier way .

This is what I would like to achieve .
