Abstract:
1. A pulser, comprising: a clock input; a pulse generation circuit; a mimic latch circuit; and a pulser control circuit; wherein the pulse generation circuit is coupled to the clock input and a mimic storage node and is configured to generate a pulse in response to the clock input and the mimic storage node; wherein the pulse generation circuit is configured to provide the pulse to the mimic latch circuit; wherein the pulse generation circuit is configured to terminate generation of the pulse in response to a transition of the mimic storage node which indicates termination of pulse generation; wherein the mimic latch circuit is coupled to the mimic storage node and is configured to cause the transition of the mimic storage node in response to the pulse; and wherein the pulser control circuit is coupled to the mimic storage node and is configured to reset the mimic storage node in response to the clock input.
