For those of us who want to be able to set the primary sample delay below 10uS (I want to adjust it down to .1uS) it's time for a replacement for the MC14538BCP.
Besides this chip is obsolete at sites like Mouser.com so for the next rev of MPP it's time for replacement.
I haven't found a pin compatible faster replacement so far, but going forward it appears a chip like TI's CD74HC4538E would be a good choice.
By my calcs from info on the datasheet, it can generate pulse widths as small as 35nS, but will require minor changes to the circuit and the circuit board.
I vote for this chip (several manufacturers make it) - thoughts? - thx!
