Creating a edge-trigger symbol in LaTeX

Question

Does anyone know how to create an edge-trigger symbol in LaTeX? I need to to show that some thing activates on the negative clock edge of a signal, but in a paragraph, not in a timing table.

Answer 1

The tikz-timing package.

The \texttiming{} macro does the trick! Documentation in above PDF

I used \texttiming{[-,timing/slope=0]HL} specifically.

Answer 2

I didn't find a symbol like that, but this can get you started. This solution adapts to the actual line height (\baselineskip). So doesn't really matter if you change the font size.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}

\newcommand\net{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.3\baselineskip/18pt]
 \draw (0,1) -- (1,1) -- (1,0) -- (2,0);
\end{tikzpicture}%
}

\newcommand\netp{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.3\baselineskip/18pt]
 \draw (0,1) -- (1,1) -- (1,0) -- (2,0) -- (2,1) -- (3,1);
\end{tikzpicture}%
}

\begin{document}

Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Negative edge trigger here \net\ and \netp\ and some text after. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.
