ABSTRACT:
In a delay circuit, when a first conductivity-type transistor (M6) becomes conductive on the basis of one level of its input signal, a first current path is formed through a source side transistor (M4), the first conductivity-type transistor (M6), and a second drive transistor (M9) between a source power line and a sink power line, and its output signal being the delayed inverse of the one level of the input signal is output from a connection point of another source side transistor (M5) and a sink side transistor (M11), and when a second conductivity-type transistor (M7) becomes conductive on the basis of the other level of the input signal, a second current path is formed through a first drive transistor (M3), the second conductivity-type transistor (M7), and another sink side transistor (M10), and the output signal being the delayed inverse of the other level of the input signal is output from the connection point.
