One shot pulse generator and logic level converter circuit

A one shot pulse generating and logic level converting system having an input terminal and an output terminal and comprising in combination:

• amplifier means having a first, non-inverting, input terminal and a second, inverting, input terminal and an output terminal;
• capacitor means connected between said output terminal of said amplifier means and said first input terminal of said amplifier means for providing positive feedback;
• said output terminal of said amplifier means comprising said output terminal of said generating and converting system;
• circuit means connecting said input terminal of said generating and converting system to said second input terminal of said amplifier means;
• voltage divider means connected between a first reference potential and a second reference potential different from said first reference potential, said voltage divider means having a tap thereof connected to said first input terminal of said amplifier means for establishing a quiescent voltage at said first input terminal of said amplifier means, whereby when the voltage applied to second input terminal of said amplifier means is more negative than said quiescent voltage, then the output voltage from said generating and converting system is at its most positive value and when the voltage applied to said second input terminal of said amplifier means is more positive than said quiescent voltage, then the output voltage from said generating and converting system is at its most negative value.
