发明名称 Delay line circuit with variable delay line unit
摘要 A delay line circuit comprises a plurality of delay units configured to receive an input signal and modify the input signal to produce a first output signal. The delay line circuit also comprises a variable delay line unit that comprises an input end configured to receive the first output signal; an output end configured to output a second output signal; a first line between the input end and the output end, the first line comprising, in series, a first inverter, a second inverter, a first speed control unit, and a third inverter; a second line between the input end and the output end, the second line comprising, in series, a fourth inverter, a second speed control unit, a fifth inverter, and a sixth inverter. The delay line circuit is also configured to selectively transmit the received first output signal through one of the first line or the second line.

主权项 1. A delay line circuit comprising: a plurality of delay units configured to receive an input signal and modify the input signal to produce a first output signal, the plurality of delay units being configured to selectively invert or relay the input signal en route to producing the first output signal based on a first instruction received from a delay controller; and a variable delay line unit configured to receive the first output signal, the variable delay line unit comprising: an input end configured to receive the first output signal;an output end configured to output a second output signal;a first line between the input end and the output end, the first line comprising, in series, a first inverter, a second inverter, a first speed control unit, and a third inverter; anda second line between the input end and the output end, the second line comprising, in series, a fourth inverter, a second speed control unit, a fifth inverter, and a sixth inverter, wherein the received first output signal is selectively transmitted through one of the first line or the second line based on a second instruction received from the delay line controller.
