Fast triggering Circuit
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2024 10:35 pm
I've developed a trigger circuit that outputs a <3µs(can be lower) pulse in response to an input pulse, then turns off regardless of whether the input is still active. The input pulses have a duration of 1ms, but the output should consistently be on for only 3µs before turning off, resetting only when a new input pulse is received.
I initially implemented this on an Arduino Pro Mini, but I'm encountering signal loss when providing a series of 20,000 input pulses—some output signals are missing. I'm considering switching to a processor with a higher clock speed to improve performance and potentially integrating a logic level converter to replace the Arduino. What could be causing the signal loss, and would this change likely resolve the issue?.
Maybe a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller with a logic level coverter to convert o/p of 3.3v from teensy to a 5v o/p suitable for my recevier, adding Logic lvl converter is because my receiver supports 5v and my i/p to the teensy is also 5v but teensy doesnot support 5v o/p tolerant pins but can handle 5v i/p as the teensy is 3.3v microcontroller.
Is anyone has some other recommendations for my purpose.
