 -1 Answer is Wrong		 #175598 - A generic approach to dual edge detection
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hi Arun,

Okay, first let me add my voice to the chorus/cacaphony of people saying, "Are You Nuts?!?!?!"

That said, I have a generic approach to detecting both edges of a square wave pulse. I connect the pulse directly to one of two XOR gate inputs. I then connect the same signal to the other input of the same XOR gate, but this time through two inverters (NOT gates). At all times during the signal's period both XOR gate inputs will be either hi or lo, causing the output to be lo. However, for a very short time when the signal changes state, at both the PGT and NGT edges, the change at the second input will be delayed by the two inverters. During that short time the output will briefly go positive, and you have a dual edge detector.

   ABORT!, ABORT!, ABORT!            01/01/70 00:00      
      Better circuits exists            01/01/70 00:00      
      one more            01/01/70 00:00      
   DANGER!! Don't Try This At Home!            01/01/70 00:00      
      Its not just Atmel            01/01/70 00:00      
   interrupts on both edges            01/01/70 00:00      
      Thank you All            01/01/70 00:00      
         Read about external Gate for Timer            01/01/70 00:00      
            gate for timer            01/01/70 00:00      
               Jan, will you Shhhhh!!!            01/01/70 00:00      
               Great Idea !            01/01/70 00:00      
                  But i've used up INT0 and INT1 pins            01/01/70 00:00      
                     int0 is gate for timer0            01/01/70 00:00      
                     T1(T0) pin is not use here            01/01/70 00:00      
                        so only one Ext.int pin will do            01/01/70 00:00      
                           i think so            01/01/70 00:00      
                              I haven't tried it yet            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 is a Zener that costly?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 so try something safely            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    That the most exhaustive reply i got so far !            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       You are wellcome            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          Here's what i have done            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             simulation is partial            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                I'll try writing a sample code            01/01/70 00:00

                  Consider these points...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     not a newbie to electronics            01/01/70 00:00      
                        What results do you really get from an experiment?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Reply to Arun Kumar V            01/01/70 00:00      
                  what if the result is death?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     very positive opinion            01/01/70 00:00
