Phase shift a TTL for edge triggering

Hi,

I am running an experiment that requires an ultrasonic pulse (cleaned up with a mono stable multivibrator) to be triggered on the positive slope of an optical chopper’s (used to modulate a laser beam) TTL square wave signal. I have the triggering down, but I need to shift the TTL signal’s phase to offset my ultrasound pulse with my laser pulse. The TTL runs at frequencies between 0-3000 Hz at a 50% duty cycle.

Does anyone have a simple solution to achieve this phase shift? Could this be done with passive components, or perhaps an op amp or NAND Gate?
Thanks,
Dan

Welcome to AAC!

Use can use a pair of monostable multivibrators such as a single 74LS123 to create a new pulse following a delay.

A phase-shift of the leading and trailing pulse edges could also be generated with an RC delay into a Schmitt-trigger circuit (e.g. 74x14).
Such a circuit will basically maintain the pulse-width of the original signal.
