| | ===== Gate-to-trigger converter ===== |
| | The resistor and capacitor form a differentiator with a 390 μs time constant (alternatively, a high-pass filter with $f_{3dB}\approx 408$ Hz). The diode between the comparator's noninverting input and ground provides a path for the negative spike out of the capacitor on the gate's falling edge (see Fig 1.43 in //The Art of Electronics//, 3ed). The diode on the output prevents the comparator from sinking current once its output is pulled to the negative rail. ((https://youtu.be/yz37Yz315eU?t=510. Cf. Fig 1.38, 1.39 in //The Art of Electronics//, 3ed, which does the opposite: it takes a short input pulse and produces a longer output pulse.)) |
