pulse inverter design thing

Say you only use modern parts ?>:-} ...Jim Thompson

Say I got about 50 of them in a box. :D

I believe they're the "HC" variety

So "G-job" ?

Define your problem more accurately. ...Jim Thompson

But...if I do that someone might tell me a better way to do it that's not the way I think is the best way which isn't really the best way!

My approach to studying electronics: when working on various projects and I come to a stumbling block I post a sort of "challenge" thing, under-specify the requirements just enough so that the answer isn't spoon-fed to me (that's how you learn!), grab a drink and kick back while the regulars duke it out, then study the circuits presented and see which idea is most likely to be appropriate, and hopefully learn something in the process.

It works! It's fun!

That does allow the output to get into an ambiguous/incorrect state, and doesn't clean up garbage.

But

Why not RC filter the input signal, into a single Schmitt?

Part of becoming an engineer is learning how to accurately define a problem. Looks like you aren't going to make it. ...Jim Thompson

OK, we'll keep that in mind.

Yeah but it's a bit hard of the "good will" of the "regulars".

Much better (from my perspective) is to define the problem as much as you can, then present your solution.. which didn't quite work. Both parts are important.

(You tell me why.)

Underspecified problems, especially deliberately underspecified, are too much work to think much about.

Cool!

I always have stand-up comedy to fall back on...

Don't give up your day job ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Ah, my super-secret plan has been laid bare.
