NP-Voltage controlled with Schmitt Trigger<br />

The signal integrity of a NP-voltage controlled delay element can be improved by using a<br />

Schmitt trigger in series which converts the slow edges to fast edges [15]. However, as in many<br />

other delay elements, the slow edges due to the NP voltage controlled delay element will cause<br />

short circuit power dissipation at the input stage of the Schmitt trigger.<br />

N-Voltage Controlled<br />

Figure 6-5: NP-Voltage Controlled delay element with Schmitt Trigger<br />

For an N-Voltage controlled delay element, varying the control voltage Vn changes the<br />

delay by changing the discharging current. When there is a rise transition at the input, the first<br />

inverter discharges through the control transistor path while the second inverter charges the<br />
