[sdiy] 1 bit serial stream delay approaches..

[Jean-Pierre Desrochers]

I'm on my way to design a delayed GATE generator module
for my Dotcom synth.
So I need to delay a 1 bit serial stream (incoming Gate signal)
for up to 5 sec. (my needs). I thought of the shift register way
to do it but I'm not willing to use a ton of cmos IC's..
Maybe a Microchip PIC would do with a reliable interupt routine.
But would it exist any IC that does this job easily
without any programming ?
In fact a 1 bit digital delay without any ADC-DAC is what I need.
Remember, the incoming Gate signal can be anyhthing else
than a simple ON... then OFF state.
 (ex: ON.......OFF..ON..OFF..ON...........OFF...etc..)

Any clues ?
