Guyana Latch

This is a digital electronic circuit which enables a momentary signal to be
translated into a fixed length signal, the duration of which is determined solely by the clock rate at
which the system is running.

The Guyana Latch was invented by Christopher Eccles in 2005. It is most often
employed to capture short pulses from mechanical limit switches in process control
and medical equipment circuits. It differs from a conventional monostable circuit in that
its period changes automatically with the clock rate of the system in which it is used.
