12V Signal On/Off Delay
Vakito:
Hi all, I'm in need of a simple 12v circuit designing which triggers an output going to a MOSFET for an adjustable amount of seconds.
When the input is turned on, the output should be on for a few seconds (example, 5 seconds) and the same should happen when the input signal is turned off.
Hopefully the timing diagram attached will make things clearer.
Many thanks
Peter

Well the obvious lineup is a Schmidt trigger to guarantee consistent fast input transitions, an XOR edge detector and a retriggerable monostable for the output pulse, with a variable timing resistor, all in 4000 series CMOS logic. Even if you cheat and use a quad XOR with two of its gates strapped as non-inverting buffers with positive feedback to make them Schmidt triggers for the input and delay path, that's still two ICs.
I think you can do it with a single 4106 hex Schmitt inverter used creatively. One gate to square up the input, then AC couple it with a short time constant to get a bi-polarity pulse from both edges, eliminate the negative going half, and square it up with another gate, leaving several gates to implement the monostable. It *MAY* need a transistor to discharge the timing cap faster than a 4000 CMOS output can manage.

Here's part of a circuit that I designed to control an actuator to open/close a vent. You could combine the outputs with diodes to do what you want.

Your problem can be solved using a 555 timer set up as a monostable with a 5-second duration. It only needs to be triggered on both edge of input trigger signal to get the desired output.
