One option John Larjkin doesn't seem to have explored is using Renesas HFA3096 five transistor array as basis for his mononstable
and level shifter.

It offers three 8GHz NPN parts and two 5.5GHz PNP parts in a single array.

I put the NPN model parameters into a circuit designed by yourself.
It's late now but I got as far as Time step too small.

That is neither fast nor a monostable.

There's no reason to use many-GHz parts in micropower circuits. One
reason is that the sim breaks.

I do wish people would comment Spice sims properly, with author, date,
and what-the-hell-this-actually-is-supposed-to-do.


I wonder what happened to James. I think all the flaming here drove
him away. James was fun. He always skis in short pants.
