  • Patent number: 4687998
    Abstract: A pulse generating circuit is provided for generating a pulse having a time width synchronized with an input pulse and corresponding to a reference voltage. The circuit is particularly designed not to be affected by parasitic capacitance. A circuit for charging one electrode of an integrating circuit with a constant current is controlled by turning on or off a switch in response to the input pulse. The other electrode of the integrating capacitor is connected with a reference voltage source by driving a switch in response to a pulse having a pulse width which contains the time period of the input pulse and which is wider than the input pulse. A comparator is provided for comparing the potential at one electrode of the integrating capacitor and ground potential. A desired pulse is generated by a logic circuit which is receives both the output of the comparator and the input pulse.
