Abstract

An input signal SIN is input to a reset input terminal R of a flip-flop RSFF1 and, at the same time, input to a gate of a pMOS transistor MP1 constituting a transfer control circuit DCNTL1, a signal Bd obtained by delaying an inverted output signal B of the flip-flop RSFF1 at a delay circuit DLY1 is input to the data input terminal of the transfer control circuit DCNTL1, and the output signal of the transfer control circuit DCNTL1 is input to a set input terminal S of the flip-flop RSFF1 via two stages of inverters connected in series, therefore, a signal change detection circuit capable of generating a stable pulse according to the level change of the input signal without depending upon the input clock signal and capable of generating the pulse at high speed can be realized.
