Hi
Ok, use 4 555s to create each time span. I don't think the timing is
super critical. I still think it could be handled with just 2 555s because
on can control both rise and fall times with a 555. The main idea
it the voltage swing. Using CMOS is another option.
One of the others mentioned creating the signals with a counter
and higher frequency clock. I think that is over kill when analog timers
should be enough.
