ABSTRACT:
The pulse delay circuit includes a plurality of delay units connected in series or in a ring, each of the delay units being constituted of at least one inverter gate circuit grounded to a ground line, and configured to delay a pulse signal passing therethrough by a delay time thereof depending on an input signal applied thereto, and a capacitor connected between a signal line through which the voltage signal is applied to each of the delay units and the ground line. The capacitor serves as a current source to supply a current which each of the delay units consumes to invert a state thereof.
