Abstract

The circuit configuration produces complementary signals. An input signal is routed from an input terminal via a first path, through a pass element, and to a first output terminal. The input signal is also routed on a second path, connected in parallel with the first path, via an inverter, and to a second output terminal. The first and the second output terminal are connected to a first and a second output node, respectively, via a compensation device. The compensation device compensates for the different time delays in the signals on the first and on the second path.
