ABSTRACT:
An advanced repeater utilizing signal distribution delay. In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, such an advanced repeater circuit comprises an output stage for driving an output signal line responsive to an input signal and a feedback loop coupled to said output signal line for changing state of said output stage subsequent to a delay after a transition of said output signal. The delay is due to transmission line effects of said output signal line.
