ABSTRACT:
A delay circuit with a delay equal to the percentage of the input pulse width is described. In one embodiment, the ratio of the discharge current to the charge-up current of a timing capacitor is used to determine the percentage of the input pulse width used for the output delay. In a first timing phase, the input pulse width is stored as a voltage on the timing capacitor. In a second timing phase, the output is delayed by a percentage of the input pulse width. In a third timing phase, the circuit is restored to the trip point to remove sensitivity to process variation or applied conditions variation such as voltage or temperature (P-V-T variation), and be ready for the next timing cycle.
