Abstract
A variable width pulse generator. The pulse generator includes a pulse circuit responsive to a reset signal to provide a pulse circuit signal. A variable delay reset loop path, coupled to the pulse circuit, is responsive to the pulse circuit signal to provide the reset signal. A control signal may vary the width of a pulse generated by the circuit by varying the length of a delay associated with the reset loop path. Both a coarse control signal, such as a signal that selectively removes a logic element in the reset loop path, and a fine control signal, such as a signal that controls a tunable delay element in the reset loop path, may be used to adjust the pulse width.
