Abstract

A transition delay circuit having an input terminal and an output terminal is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the transition delay circuit also includes a first MOS capacitor, a second MOS capacitor, and a delay circuit. The first MOS capacitor includes a first terminal connected to the input terminal of the transition delay circuit and a second terminal that is connected to the output terminal of the transition delay circuit. The second MOS capacitor includes a first terminal connected to the input terminal of the transition delay circuit and a second terminal that is connected to the output terminal of the transition delay circuit. The second MOS capacitor has a different polarity than the first MOS capacitor. The delay circuit includes a first terminal connected to the input terminal of the transition delay circuit and a second terminal that is connected to the output terminal of the transition delay circuit.
