In one of my design i need to stretch narrow 10 ns pulses coming from photo diode after tia stage if i have to measure the pulse amplitude i have to stretch it at least by a factor of 100 in this search i have found a approach in which the circuit was using a capacitor after its feedback path but i have not understood how exactly the circuit works but when i tried to.
Digital pulse stretcher circuit.
A control on the logic probe allows either the capture and storage of a single event or continuous running.
We use it for digital logic circuits.
So i needed a pulse stretcher to increase the led s on.
The most basic circuit is an rcd network followed by a schmitt trigger.
Hi i have a 5v single supply available.
The pulse detecting electronics usually has a pulse stretcher circuit so that even very short pulses become visible on the led.
For detecting a signal from a photodiode amplifier via uc i need to buffer and stretch a pulse which is around 5 ns wide periodic 100 200 ns and down to some 100 mvp amplitude and dc biased somewhere between 1v and 2 5v.
The r and c are in parallel to gnd.
The diode comes from the input so that an active input always keeps the capacitor topped up.
It is combining analog and digital chip.

This is a pulse generator circuits or standard astable multivibrator oscillator or free running circuit using ic555 timer ne555 lm555.
Ic 555 is popular easy to use small size with 8 pins.
Because the pulse was so short driving the led directly even with a transistor driver created a pulse too short to be seen well.
If pin 2 is low for longer than this period the output will remain high while pin 2 is low and immediately go low when pin.
