Hi,

i want to detect a pulse with 140ns and 50mV amplitude. i want to design such a circuit when pulse comes pic microcontroller should get an interrupt. how can i do that?

thanks in advance...

One approach would be to use a high speed comparator such as the LMV7239. It has low input offset, low cost, and 5V single supply operation. For 50mV detection I would pre-bias the input with 15mV offset and use capacitive coupling for the pulse signal. Since the input signal is fast switching, there should not be a need to incorporate hysteresis but you will still need to follow high speed layout rules on the PCB to minimize feedback. The PIC has edge-triggered interrupt input but I'm not sure what the minimum hold time may be. The 140nS pulse may be sufficient for connecting directly to the interrupt input.

Check the datasheet first.

hi friends,

Finally i got the pulse using MC33274AP opamp and cd4098 pulse stretcher. thanks to all for being with me.
