This TTL pulse stretcher or stretcher was found in a 90's EDN. The time constant R x C1 determines the widening of the incoming pulse.
The oscillator shown in the figure keeps its frequency constant in an active cycle adjustment...
For bench use, this circuit functions as a bistable safety switch. The circuit is from a Radio...
In fact, this is the circuit also known as “vox”, that is, a relay triggered by sound. This...
