The circuit shown below is a monstable multivibrator. Use Pspice to answer the questions posed
below.
1. Design the circuit for a 25 P microsecond output pulse. Trigger the monostable with a 5v 10
µsec positive pulse applied at the input. Use the LF411 op amp and use Vpulse for the trigger
source. Attach a printout of your output pulse and trigger pulse on the same graph.
2. Investigate how narrow (in time) the trigger pulse can be and still trigger the circuit.

Solutions to Discussion Problem #13
1. Pspice circuit shown below. Values of R1 not critical but should be in the 1kΩ to 100 kΩ
range. Either analyze circuit to determine value of R for a 25 microsecond pulse width or use
trial and error with Pspice.

2. Waveforms with 1 microsecond trigger pulse width and LF411 op amp. No discernable
differences in output waveform. Circuit would not trigger on a 0.1 µsec wide trigger pulse.

3. Waveforms for circuit using a uA741 op amp and 10 µsec wide trigger pulse. Note slow rise
and fall times of output compared to LF411-based circuit.
