Abstract

A delay circuit includes an output circuit including first and second output elements. The first and second output elements are connected serially between a first power supply source and a second power supply source. The delay circuit further includes a delay element, which is coupled between a first input circuit and an output circuit to generate a first control signal that is delayed with respect to the input signal. The delay circuit still further includes a first node coupled between the delay element and one of the first and second output elements; and a second node, coupled to the other output elements to supply a second control signal having substantially no delay with respect to the input signal.
