Abstract
The invention provides an inverter. The inverter includes a first converter and a second converter. The first converter is coupled between a supply voltage and an output node of the inverter. The second converter is coupled between the output node of the inverter and a ground voltage. The first converter, the second converter, or both include diode-connected transistors. The propagation delay time of the inverter is substantially a linear function of the temperature of the inverter.
