Abstract

The optimized-delay multiplexer includes at least two pass elements that are respectively driven via a first path by a control signal directly, and via a second path by the control signal inverted by an inverter. A further pass element is connected in the first path to simulate the delay caused by the inverter. As a result, the at least two pass elements are switched simultaneously.
