Help!

I need a device that will detect a negative edge and output a negative pulse so that the voltage finishes in a high state.

Suggestion: Try the operational amplifier adjusted as a differentiator, and follow it by an inverter. The output should be a negative pulse.
 
Simplest -- for TTL logic -- : ( 4 nodes ). Needs 2R-s and
1 C.

1.) input( from TTL) --- CAP.1
2.) CAP.2 --- R1.1 ---R2.1 --- output (to 1 TTL load)
3.) R1.2 --- gnd
4.) r2.2 ---Vcc

R1 = R2 = 1k
The output is normally vcc/2 (2.5 V). On the negative edge of the input the output drops below the "0" logic level (.8V) until the C discharges through the R-s bacl to original level.

The negative pulse is about R * C/4 long i.e. with 1Kohms and 1000pF in the range of 250nS.
