Hi everyone,
I have a project to make a delay block/ debouncer which has same function in LTC6994-2 with IC 555. I try to combine 2 ICs 555 monostable with a pulse from Astable Mode to detect the time delay of both rising and falling edge. However it does not work. Does anyone have a suggestion or idea for this schematic design.
The function of LTC6994-2: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/LTC6994-1-6994-2.pdf
Thanks in advance.

 

Two questions:

Why do you think this is possible?

Can you provide a schematic diagram of what you tried that does not work?

 

Why not just use the LTC6994? Is this school work?

Over a narrow range of both pulse widths and pulse spacings, this can be done with one true monostable (*not* a 555), a flipflop, and a bunch of steering logic. A true monostable has positive feedback to lock out the input once it is triggered.

A 555 is a great little timer circuit, but using two for this purpose seems complicated overkill.

Below is the LTspice sim of a simple circuit using one CD4093 Schmitt-trigger quad NAND gate package, to perform that function for short delay times (<10s).
It provides both inverted and non-inverted outputs.

The value of R2C2 determines both the rising and falling edge delay-time.
How much delay do you need?

 

A third gate as an input buffer - ? It would make the circuit independent of any voltage/impedance/slope variations in the input signal.

And, I wondered about the stability of a CMOS Schmitt trigger's two transition levels. That is one (and, often, the only) clear advantage of a 555. Rethinking, this could be done with two 555's: one as an input buffer and one as the post-R-C, hysteretic comparator output stage.

Or, depending on the required circuit speed, one dual opamp. <oooohhh - now we're talkin'>

74AC132 would be a better match vs CD4000 for post #5

Certainly there are unit-to-unit variations, but I would expect the trigger point to be fairly stable otherwise.
The application here does not sound like it needs high stability but, if it does, then other circuit might be preferable.

Why?
The CD4000 circuits have a much higher voltage range, and should be more than fast enough for this application.

Because the 74AC more closely matches the supply range, I/O, and the output drive spec of the LTC6994.
The CD4000 output would require an output drive transistor.

Certainly if he needs to drive more than a couple mA load.

 

As is often the case, there is zero information in #1 about frequencies, bandwidth, periods, risetimes, falltimes, voltages, currents, sources, or loads. Other than that, we're good to go. Some can be inferred from his consideration of the 6994, but, come on - give a dog a bone.

I love AC parts, and a long-term frustration of mine is that no one applied the AC technology to the 4000 product line. The 74AC14 one serious little puppy.
