Abstract
A monostable multivibrating circuit includes: a time constant setting circuit responsive to an input pulse signal, for outputting at least one signal having a time constant different from that of the input pulse signal; and an emitter-coupled logic circuit including a first pair of transistors, one base receiving the input pulse signal and another base receiving a first reference signal, and a second pair of transistors, one base receiving an output signal of the time constant setting circuit and another base receiving a second reference signal. The monostable multivibrating circuit outputs a one-shot pulse defined by a pulse starting time corresponding to a change in level of the one base input of the first pair of transistors and a pulse stopping time corresponding to a change in level of the one base input of the second pair of transistors. The one-shot pulse presents 'H' level only when the base input of the first pair of transistors is at 'L' level and the one base input of the second pair of transistors is at 'H' level. By this constitution, it is possible to determine the number of stages of circuits regardless of the duration of the one-shot pulse and thus facilitate a standardization of the circuit designing. Also, it is possible to reduce an occupation area thereof and decrease a power dissipation thereby.
