I'm sure there must be a smarter way to do this than my first design.
I want to produce separate +ve going 12V pulses at the leading and
trailing edges of a low impedance 12V input.

My first draft looks too complex:

- Use R/C/diode edge detector to produce OUT 1.
- Also take input to half a 4013 to produce FF
- Logic NOR the input with the inverted FF
- Use R/C/diode edge detector to produce OUT 2

Here's the timing chart:

I think those crude output pulses should be adequate without further
cleaning up, as they go to the respective Set and Reset inputs of a
simple 4001 bistable. Of course, squared up outputs would be a bonus;
I might do that anyway if I have any spare 4001 gates.

For the curious, it's an add-on for my curtain controller, to open and
close them either at dawn/dusk or at specific times of day.

Any simpler way to achieve this please?

Terry,
Someplace in the past I remember using an edge detecter circuit for the
count output of a rotory encoder. I think it was from one of the "Design
Ideas" in Electronic Design(?). It used an XOR gate with an RC delay on
one of the two inputs. The other input was direct. The output pulse
width was a function of the RC time constant.
