ABSTRACT:
A delay circuit that generates an output signal responsive to an input signal after a delay corresponding to a reference voltage that is insensitive to the power supply voltage. The output signal switches between ground and the power supply voltage (V.sub.CC). The delay circuit is formed by a timer circuit and a level translator circuit. The delay circuit provides an output signal having a delay of a fixed time period regardless of fluctuations or changes in the supply voltage. The level translator circuit provides an output signal with the aforementioned delay that has a magnitude of either the power supply voltage or ground. The timer circuit includes a capacitor that is charged and discharged through respective transistors to provide the delay. The level translator circuit includes transistors that switch the output signal between the supply voltage and ground.
