Abstract

A filtering circuit includes circuits for delivering first and second ramp-shaped signals when a logic signal to be filtered changes values, and includes logic circuits each with a switching threshold, for receiving the ramp-shaped signals. A memory unit delivers an output signal having a first value when outputs of the logic circuits have a first pair of values, and delivers a second value when the outputs of the logic circuits have a second pair of values. The filtering circuit may be applied to the filtering of an external clock signal in serial type memory devices.
