Abstract

A pulse generating circuit comprises a first series connection of a first switching element (3:13) and a second switching element (4), a second series connection of a capacitive element (5) and a third switching element (6) coupled with a connecting point between the first and second switching elements, an amplifying element (7) having input and output terminals connected to both ends of the capacitive element (5), respectively, and a fourth switching element (8) connected to the output end of the amplifying element (7), and is supplied with a first input signal varying in level through the control terminals of the first and third switching elements (3:13, 6) and a second input signal varying in level through the control terminals of the second and fourth switching elements (4, 8), thereby to obtain a pulse having the width corresponding to the time interval from a variation in the level of the first input signal to a variation in the level of the second input signal at the output end of the amplifying element (7).
