I hate analog oneshots unless they are timing
uncritical. I worked with
Me too. I have used them for things like stretching a pulse to drive a
front paneal LED (which is totally non-critical), but I really work to
avoid them in critical sections.
an engineer that did everything with onshots and his
stuff was prone to
wandering off or plain quitting.
I think if I came across him, I'd shove the business end of a tesla coil
'where the sun don't shine' :-)
I am strongly of the belief that one-shots (monostables, monoflops, call
them what you will) should not be taught in electronics courses. By the
time you know enought to find out for yourself how to design them, you
also know enough _not_ to design them :-)
