Abstract

A signal generation apparatus includes a glitch rejection circuit including n m-stage inverters coupled in series, and configured to receive an input signal and perform an inverting operation on the input signal, based on a plurality of voltage signals, to generate an output signal and adjust switching threshold voltages of the m-stage inverters, based on the plurality of voltage signals, to generate the glitch-removed output signal, when a glitch occurs in the input signal, a level detection circuit to detect a logic level of the output signal provided from the glitch rejection circuit to generate a level detection signal and a complementary level detection signal, and a voltage signal generation circuit configured to receive the input signal, a complementary input signal, the level detection signal, and the complementary level detection signal to generate the plurality of voltage signals and provide the plurality of voltage signals to the glitch rejection circuit.
