Abstract

An array of parallel FET load circuits on an IC (integrated circuit) chip can have their respective signal delays equalized where their nodal capacitances are different or alternately can have their signal delays set for different durations to meet the needs of a subsequent circuit, by adjusting the current driving capacity of a driver driving each circuit to meet the desired delay requirements thereof.
