6303 AND 6304 DELAY (ONE SHOT)

This document provides a technical revision update for the DEC Type 6303 and 6304 delay modules (mono-stable multivibrators). It details the operational characteristics, including:

• Functionality: Both modules trigger a level output switch from ground to -3V for a predetermined, adjustable duration upon receiving a ground signal, followed by a 40-nanosecond output pulse.
• Adjustments: The 6303 includes a potentiometer for fine-tuning delay from 50 to 700 nanoseconds, with the ability to add external capacitors for longer durations. The 6304 offers three built-in capacitors for broader range selection (up to 150 microseconds) and supports external rheostat control.
• Performance: Specifications include a recovery time equal to 10% of the maximum delay, a 30-nanosecond input-to-output delay, and minimal jitter.
• Input/Output: Details are provided regarding pulse gate loading capacities and driving capabilities for both level and pulse outputs.
• Power Requirements: Specific voltage and current requirements are listed for both the 6303 and 6304 models.
