Abstract

A delay line circuit is provided that precisely delays the incoming referenced clock signal by utilizing two delay cells and a sample-and-hold circuit. The circuit eliminates the need for sensing circuitry at the output to determine if the need to monitor the delay line circuit is operating in an undesirable operation. By eliminating the sensing circuitry the reliability of delay line circuit is significantly increased.
