Hi, I have a circuit for monostable operation of a 555 for a low going input pulse to a timed high output pulse.
Can anybody provide the circuit for the opposite. For a high going input pulse to a timed low output pulse. Only need very brief, in order of us, output pulse determined of course by the capacitor.

Using an inverter is the easiest way to solve the problem. You can do this with a single transistor. How about a schematic of what you have.

THere will be a slight reduction in timing accuracy on low supply voltages because the capacitor is not fully discharged.
