Abstract:
In described examples, an electronic circuit for delaying a signal (received at an input node) includes a delay line with multiple tap locations, a tap line proximate to the delay line and coupled to an output node, and multiple groups of switches. Switches in the groups of switches are severally coupled between tap locations corresponding to the respective group of switches, and the tap line. When the signal is propagated through the delay line, a first number of the switches corresponding to a selected tap location are closed, a second number of the switches corresponding to an adjacent tap location are closed, and the signal is transmitted with a delay through the closed switches, to the tap line, to the output node. The delay includes an average, weighted using the first and second numbers, of delays corresponding to the selected and adjacent tap locations.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , in which the differential signal is invariant with respect to changes in process, temperature and voltage.
