Abstract:
A delay control circuit includes: a first step delay cell including a first switch having a first end connected to a first node, and a first capacitor connected to a second end of the first switch; a second step delay cell including a second switch having a first end connected to a second node, and a second capacitor connected to a second end of the second switch; and a first inverter configured to couple an output signal of the first step delay cell to an input of the second step delay cell, wherein the first switch and the second switch are turned on and off by a same control signal.

Claim (Index 20):
A delay control circuit configured to receive a first signal as an input and to delay the first signal, the delay control circuit comprising:\n k step delay cells including first and second step delay cells, wherein k is an even integer greater than zero; a first inverter disposed between the first step delay cell and the second step delay cell; and a second inverter coupled to an output of the second step delay cell, wherein the first step delay cell is configured to provide a second signal in response to the first signal, the first inverter is configured to provide a third signal in response to the second signal, the second step delay cell is configured to provide a fourth signal in response to the third signal, the second inverter is configured to provide a fifth signal in response to the fourth signal, a second duty ratio of the second signal is greater than a first duty ratio of the first signal, a third duty ratio of the fifth signal is less than the second duty ratio, and the third duty ratio approximately matches the first duty ratio.
