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 12):
A delay control circuit comprising:\n a first step delay cell which is configured to receive a first signal and includes a first node; a second step delay cell which is configured to provide a second signal and includes a second node; a control signal input configured to receive a control signal, wherein the control signal input is coupled to the first and to the second step delay cells; and a first inverter which is configured to receive a third signal from the first step delay cell and to output a fourth signal to the second step delay cell, wherein when the first signal is enabled and the control signal indicates a minimum delay value, a first voltage level of the first node decreases with a first slope, and a second voltage level of the second node increases with a second slope.
