A buffer circuit includes a differential amplifier, a buffering inverter, and a reference voltage monitoring circuit. The differential amplifier has a reference voltage and a current source as inputs. The buffering inverter has an output of the differential amplifier as an input. The reference voltage monitoring circuit includes two transistors and a second current source. An output of the reference voltage monitoring circuit is connected to the buffering inverter so as to minimize an effect of a variation in the value of the reference voltage on signal propagation delay times. The buffer circuit can further include a driver circuit with a comparator. A method of managing signal propagation delays includes providing a differential amplifier, providing at least one buffering inverter, and providing a reference voltage monitoring circuit. The reference voltage monitoring circuit can maintain signal propagation delays as a reference voltage varies.
